I suggest you get your head around it as you seem to fail to realise that you need to break a rule to cheat.
This thread has taken an interesting direction !!
You are now saying that anyone, yes ANYONE, can resign a game within the rules.
What happens when a person resigns ??? Let's see .....
1 - website does not prevent it with an edit. That makes sense !!
2 - any clan member of ANY clan can resign a clan game when the clan outcome has been decided.
3 - any clan member can resign a clan game when a clan challenge has NOT been decided.
4 - no member has to answer to sandbagging accusations when they resign a game. Because resigning is NOT against the rules.
5 - there is no system (programming) edits that prevents a player from resigning a game.
Where does that leave us ?? Well .......
1 - every accusation levelled against Metallica or Wycombe is null and void.
2 - human intervention by site administration will be required on occasion to deal with abuse of system and privileges offered by the site.
3 - there have been players banned from the site for such abuses.
4 - there have been points rolled back (or so I hear).
5 - there have been clan suspensions (see 2015 clan season)
In other words, McTayto does not want to call it cheating because the system doesn't raise a flag when he abuses the system,
But the abuse of the system is happening.
That much is obvious !!
That Easy Riders are collecting pre-arranged points from 3 clans is an obvious abuse of the clan feature !!
If you don't like calling it cheating, fine !! Don't call it cheating !!
It is an abuse of a feature provided by this web-site that I haven't seen on other sites.
By its' very nature, this feature is very informal and does require an "honor system".
This site has provided its' members something that is unique.
And we should be happy to have this.
The perpetrators of this fiasco have been exposed !!
At this point, one of 2 things can happen:
1 - site admin will step in with human intervention and correct this.
2 - or the feature dies right here !!
When all is said and done, one clan, Easy Riders, will have a reputation of disrepute.
Other clans, notably Metallica and Wycombe clan, will have their records intact !!
Those few malcontents, Carrobie, McTayto, Lemondrop, and others who have long left the site
will have only the memories of their mudslinging that they could never make stick !!
Unfortunately, that mud has come back to them. And now they are covered in it.
Congratulations !!!
