games limit clarification

Russ, Chris, anyone...
What exactly is the status on games allowed? I must have
misunderstood the recent threads. My understanding was that as a
non-Pawn-Star/non-subscriber I could still have more than 10 games
as long as they were initiated by someone with Pawn-Star/subscriber
status. Folks are now telling me they can't initiate games with me
because I have 10 going. Is there a glitch, or did I miss a ruling? Just
want to know for clarifying the issue in my own mind.

Thanks,
Coyote

Coyote,

Sorry, but we had to toughen up on this.

10 games was always meant to be the limit, but some people had
over a hundred active games and they weren’t even pawn stars! So,
sorry – but the opportunity of further abuse has been removed.
(Although, technically not an abuse, as we allowed it to happen in the
first place.)

Hope this makes things clearer.

Thanks for the explanation. I misunderstood. I will have to just lay low
with ten or less until I come up with money sometime in the next
year. Then I'll be in touch with you about subscribing.

I salute you sir! This is a positive for regular RHP members, as it
helps to reduce certain types of abuse, and gently encourages those
serious about playing chess here to become a member.
