    I got 2 thumbs down for corresponding with you.
    I guess I'm being too nice. πŸ˜†
    Sorry about that- I suppose it is inevitable that I annoyed someone at some point, and you were in the splash zone!

    Not your fault. Absolutely not !!
    I know where the thumbs down are coming from.

    There are a couple of individuals who are not happy with the fact that I started this thread.
    They've been exposed and don't have the guts to post their response to my compelling evidence.
    Their thumbs work fine though. πŸ™‚

    Does the past give any hint re: how long until site admin takes action (if any)?

    I don't know how site administration will respond.
    The clan community shines a light on the activities as required.
    Site will handle from there.

    I for one always like to hear your comments on Clan issues, especially this one!

    Lurk a little more eloquently, please. Captains' opinions carry weight here.

    Lemondrop's clan currently has 29 pending challenges.
    NOT ONE of the challenges involves a player other than Lemondrop or Mctayto.
    Not a single challenge !!

    You might want to start using your new members in your challenges.
    We are building a solid case to have Mctayto's games removed from your clan's points total.

    Russ may or may not decide to go this route.
    But this much is certain.
    We have a compelling case !
    And the history is there.
    And it involved your cheating points cow, Mctayto !!
    Remember 2016 ? Easy Riders ? πŸ˜‰

    I've noted that Lemondrop has remained very quiet during this. A good sign of knowing what he is doing is wrong I would say.

    He is showing all of the qualities of a failed clan leader.
    Rather than try to pin that label on another clan leader, all he had to do was look in the mirror.

    This one should be in the top slot instead of that "Congrats to the Misfits" nonsense.

    Of course it should be as it is a much more important thread. "The Congrats to the Misfits", just turned into a bash session. People love drama for some reason!!! Go figure. When the page flips I am going to copy paste what was originally put up as people usually just read the last page.

    This is also well within the rules as stated. There is no requirement for a clan to field all of its players. Or for a player to play all games to completion, as well you know.

    I have recently heard that in OTB play this strategy is also used -- i.e., the throwing of enough rated games to artificially lower one's rating so that a strong player can enter a tournament in a lower category and "punch above their weight."

    But I suppose this whole discussion amounts to gentlemen muttering and snapping their newspapers at each other across the boulevard as a pleasant pastime.

    Is this your opinion as you have a two man so called clan?

    Or do you condone the cheating going on by a certain Clan?
