Rose: No, it's unfortunate but there are many innocents caught by his scam... and many more yet to be caught. Have a look at his Battleboats, for instance. Far too many different names against the low number of moves matches.

playBunny: Gotcha. I didn't look at it all. I got caught by taking a game under 12 hours per move once an timed out on it, getting a loss. Im more careful on the games I take now.

Pythagoras: "Write in the sand the flaws of your friend."
-Pythagoras of Samos

One of his best is:
"Numbers inevitably will lead a person down the path of reason"

Emmett, Pythagoras: Wise words but they're heading down the path of off-topic,

We could have associated to every players profile, some rankings given by other players in such attributes like kindness, sportmanship, quicknes, and so on...

Andre Faria: Good!

Pythagoras: Want some beans? :P

Pythagoras: It surley isnt cheating, and should not upset anyone anymore than playing a 21 day game to the full 21 days every move is completely acceptable....

Czuch Chuckers: Like talking about bets at the ponds is not cheating...

Andre Faria: Problems with a turn based site...

Czuch Chuckers: Are you saying you'd be happy to accept this guy's invitation and have him wait until you went to bed or work and then suck your points though a timeout?

playBunny: Im not saying that....

Czuch Chuckers: And what you are saying is....?

playBunny: That its not cheating, and it is just a couple of the problems with a turn based game site.

Czuch Chuckers: So if you invited 20 people to an 11-hour match and 19 of them timed out, would you continue to issue that sort of invitation or would you be dissatisfied with that kind of "victory"?

We're talking about someone who is consistent is using this method. This is not a normal person but someone with a pathology of some sort. How can you say it's not cheating?

playBunny: Pathalogical = cheating?

Czuch Chuckers: Nope. In this instance it means sick in the head. But the result of his pathology is cheating behaviour, at least as far as I'm concerned.

emmett: he will put you on hide and ignore your request.

playBunny: you can call it poor sportsmanship but it is within the rules, unfortunatly, therefore it is not cheating,

Ok, let us get back to the reasons for this board please rather than discussing an individual. Thanks.

Why is my Favourite Boards list in alphabetical order with one glaring exception? "Flame Pit" does not come before "Debate Club" alphabetically, but it is in my favourite boards list that way.

whatdidyousay: mine too...

Its cos it has an arrow at the start of it to make it bold

Stevie: Thanks. That makes sense. Runs to go make Debate Club bold.

Yaaaay. It worked.

I'd like to organise my favorite boards in the order of say..............................................
...........my favorite boards

Vikings: LOL. And I'd like to order all sort sof things in a less than random (database id) fashion.

Fencer and sorting things... there's something awry there that I don't understand.

Just want to say a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you all and your families.
Have a great time

Is there a reason that someone has -3 hours on a game they are playing with me? Has game time been suspended or something?

Czuch Chuckers: Tis the Season.. I think This will be the last time we can count on Christmas.. ;)

Czuch Chuckers: Today is a site holiday.

Eriisa: oh... so doesnt it put more time on a game intead of going negative?

Czuch Chuckers: correct

Vikings: so that game will time out at midnight czech time if there is no move?

shortly after midnight I believe, but don't forget about auto vacation

Thanks!
Merry christmas all!

I just looked at the calendar on the Settings page. The holiday covers Sat, Sun & Mon.

Eriisa: Okay thanks again!

The auto vacation doesnt apply to fischer games does it?

Depends on the setting of the fischer game, I think. If its no days off, etc.... then auto-vacation won't work.

Eriisa: All games with the Fischer's clock are with a red dot.

I guess I never noticed before, but hwen there is a site holiday, for example, shouldnt the times of games just stop going down, or even have 24 hours added to them, instead of just going down, possibly into negative time where they will time out soon after the holiday has finished?

It seems that if I make a move and then leave the site with a 1 day game, and the next day is a site holiday, and my opponent comes on and mover after I am gone, then I should be able to come back the day after the holiday and not have my game timed out. As it is now, I leave and my game times down to zero during the holiday and then times out soon after the holiday is over?

Do I understand this correcty? I am probably just confused on the facts of this one...

Czuch Chuckers: I believe for site holidays, the time out function is just turned off. So games still count down, and I believe go into negative time - and then once the site is off of it's site holiday, any game with below 0 will be timed out.

If I understand correctly, even games marked as "no days off" will also not time out during this time.

BIG BAD WOLF: Thats what I thought. Maybe it a feature request, but it seems to me it would be better to just not let the game times move for 24 hours instead of leting them go to zero and time out right after midnight in czech time. Just my 2 cents, as it wont effect me either way.

Fencer: I have a player on block as he is abusing & harassing me with foul language & insults in our game. Even though I have him on block I can still see his posts........is there any way I can hide what he is saying to me?

Merry Christmas

Lamby: Don't play him. Sinple.

heavenlyemma: If it's a match already in progress or you end up paired with that player in a tournament you really haven't the option not to play him... unless you resign, but it's unfair to have to resign in a game because of missconduct from your opponent.

Lamby: And perhaps you can try to avoid reading what he say .....

Lamby:
so may be worth showing a Glob or Fencer what he is saying.. as the same player has said very sick stuff to others in game also

Now we are going to start with the same stuff that you did with me in the flame pit Stevie and Lamby on here I see. What I said was jokes. I posted a public apology in The Flame Pit for all to see. Neither one of you know me and therefore you don't seem to be able to tell when I am joking or not. I told you I was, and I apologized for making anyone upset. I didn't intend to.
