playBunny: People are signing up for whatever amount of games that they can handle, under the time limits provided. If they sign up for games with a "7 days per move" limit, it's because they expect to make a move once every 7 days. What they do with the amount of time in between is their own business, if they choose to play 1000 different games in the meantime, it's entirely their business, and you have no right to tell them what to do with their lives.

There are people who like to play fast, there are people who like to play slow. The game caters to all, everyone can chose the game speed they like.

But when you sign up for slow games, and then complain that people are playing slowly, then you are complaining about a problem you created for yourself. It's not other players' fault that you signed up for those games under false expectations. Demanding that other people cater to your own time preferences, even though they went to the trouble of specifically choosing time limits where they didn't have to, is quite arrogant and disrespectful. The world doesn't revolve around you and what you like or think is 'right'.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE SLOW PLAYERS, DON'T SIGN UP FOR SLOW GAMES! If you sign up for slow games, people are going to play slowly, because that's the very reason why they signed up for those games in the first place. Again, I can't see what's so hard to understand about this basic fact.

Roberto Silva: Well put and I agree with all you mentioned.
But I also agree with most of what playBunny posted.

crosseyed:

Surely a solution would be to put a limit on the maximum amount of games somebody can play.

Pawns,Knights,and Bishops have a limit on games started. I doubt Rooks would be happy about being limited. I vaguely remember a site penalizing players who timed out of games but I can't recall details.

BGBedlam: Why? There are already some limits for certain memberships.
There are some people who spend most of the day in this site playing games. Then there are some others who spend all day that are the moaning about how many games some people play.
Whatever nothing is going to change now,
So the people moaning about people playing lots of games just have to accept.
It does not bother me how many games some players have.
