The rating system is awful. It ruins the idea of banded tournaments and encourages sandbagging and ringers in Clan matches.
Save your money. I won't be re-subscribing.
Originally posted by MissOleumDon't spout your condescending crap at me. If you want to know why I resigned those games then try asking me without trying to feign a sense of patronising, intellectual superiority.

Originally posted by lauseyIf you really want to know, I resigned all my games in progress (except Clan games) as I was going to quit the site. I was fed up of being beaten in Banded Tournaments by sandbaggers that were really 200+ points over the rating limit. The only reason I didn't leave for good is because they revised the Tournament Entry Rating system.
I would hardly consider resigning 18 games 9 months ago "sandbagging".

people have slumps and rises in their ratings, its when a members rating used to be a 1800 and enters a 1000-1100 rated tournament that you have to worry about.
My RHP membership was totally worth it! I went from 6 games to 200+, i play in tournaments and clan matches, there's no limit on my games.
if you don't mind the ads and only want to play a few games and don't care about entering tournaments or clans, then you don't need to pay a membership fee. however, since you posted the question in the forum and are reading this, then i think that it's a pretty good guess that you would probably find your membership worthwhile.
I'm going to start a new thread in the "site ideas" forum based on this - there should be a ONE MONTH ONLY "trial membership" with a limit to the number of games and tourney's and clans that can be joined - say 25 games, 1 tourney and 1 clan . .otherwise, if the member drops the sub, it would mess up too many games and it would also be possile for that member to set up a thousand games in that one month, not really a good idea (note that games all are allowed to finish after the membership expires)

Originally posted by Dr StrangeloveIn my case, someone gave me a gift of a monthly subscription and I immediately subscribed for a year after it was over.

It's a great way to get to know the site. I'm sure something could be done about that problem (i.e. all games but 6 resign automatically 1(2) month(s) after the subscription expires). If this is known to the subscriber, I'm sure there won't be many complaints.
