Sujet: Multinicks

How is the current policy on multi nicks? There is a player that is losing games to another player with nearly exactly the same nick name and with exactly the same "real name" - and then the losing account is playing against other players in public tournaments. Will they be banned?

In light of the latest blog submission, I am curious if there are more people with administrative access than just Fencer and Liquid?

With Fencer away on holiday, it seems like a lot of responsibility for just one person to handle?

If there are others, could the list be updated please?

Would it be possible Fencer to allow U-Tube(and others where possible) embeds on the World of Sport board ?

There is some great stuff going on at the Olympics at present, and would be great to be able to show others interested

The blog says a tournament open to everyone, even those who cannot afford to pay, yet some people like me do not have any brains, so how can everyone enter, even us with no brains? Only 29 people in the first attempt, that is a successful start?

OK, I'm surprised...I accepted a "draw" offer from an opponent not expecting my rating to drop. It did. I'm hoping someone can tell me why?

Game: Chess (Summertop vs. petrchy)

Note: Opponent's rating was 2075 (over 100 games, so it was established).
My rating was 1729

Summertop: you played a 2 game match: you lost one game and drew another, so overall you lost the match

BKR changes are calculated for the match as a whole and not for every individual game

Looks like someone has been turning tournament creation into a full time job.

On second thoughts! Dont answer that!

Sujet: Re: Question

rabbitoid: Yes, it is really no fun anymore to look for new tournaments when all the interesting ones are buried under dozens of duplicates with the very same parameters and the very same starting date. If there is no admin or moderator available who could approach her and make her stop this nonsense, then in my opinion there should be at least an automated task which deletes those duplicates, probably already at creation.

Subject: Tournament Filter
Excuse me if this has been asked before.
Is there a way to apply a filter to the tournaments which will not show certain creators.
e.g. show all tournaments not created by angelstar.

This should cut the current list of 1230 tournies by at least 75% and make the list more manageable)

(nothing against angelstar, just that I don't want to see these tournaments)

Note I already have game filters on.
Thanks.

Fencer: Maybe pawns should have a strict limit per month on how many tourneys they can create (like 1 - hehe) ;) and the rest of us have a limit too. There's always fellowship tourneys to create and those can remain unlimited. I keep my tourney creation down because there are so many already it seems pointless to add to the already huge numbers.

Just a thought but perhaps creating a tourney should only be a privilege of membership. :)

And maybe if tourneys don't fill up by the deadline they should just automatically be zapped.

24. Août 2008, 22:42:12

_{Wait a sec. Pawns can't create tourneys can they?}
