a proposal to rectify skewed standings

if goober and his goose steppers make good their threats and leave the site
problem solved
fairness restored
but it will never happen
their dirty little clan will stink up the site for a long time

But as usual I didn't get to the bottom of page one before all the insults started flying about
Russ why don't you just shut all the forums down

Thank you for that comment.

Passions run high on this and there is a risk of losing sight of the objective. The objective is to fix a broken system. Hurling accusations back and forth who broke it isn't going to fix it. Banishing whoever broke it also isn't going to fix it. If those who broke it were banished, the system would still be vulnerable to abuse by someone else.

Pleading to Russ to do something also won't fix it unless he knows what to do.

Several weaknesses of the system have been identified: it is vulnerable to collusion and sandbagging; sheer number of wins is not a fair measure of success--unless every clan were to play the same number of games as every other clan (which would require a round robin).

I have proposed systematic changes which address the weaknesses noted. If there are other weaknesses which need to be shored up, or alternative proposals which address the issues, then let's hear them, please.

I win and lose with grace. I don't put up with idiots like you. By the way, you expose yourself as an immature Idiot every time you refer to me as a female. What's wrong with you?
