banned players

I just saw, that inprob was banned.
But he has 75 games in progress!
So the sooner you recognise the ban and click on
the timeout skull, the more points you got.

Thats not fair.
Why cann't the admin stop all games of a banned player
at the same time with the ban?

They sometimes do, and sometimes they dont. I dont know what determines whether they allow somebodies rating to be completely gutted or kept intact, but it does happen.

I doubt they can click on the skull. Usually when a player is banned, the games are frozen until they all get resigned automatically without changing the rating of either player (although as Tyrannosauruschex said, there have been cases in which the ratings were affected, but I suspect those few cases were glitches).

The admins sometimes would completely kill off peoples ratings - for example when ironman31 got banned they absolutely blasted it right down to 500 and gave everybody a win against him. Now the trend seems to be to preserve them in the state they were banned in.

update on inprob: the games have been resigned, no rating points awarded.

If one is playing against a player they suspect of cheating what would be the fun thing to do ?

A. Keep playing normally
B. Take as much time as possible and maximize time bank to anger them
C. Resign ASAP
D. Play absurd and amusing moves since you will loose anyways

E. Take as much time as possible and hope they get banned.

Let me get this right. Everyone over 2k you suspect is a cheat apart from those four?!

I think what she means is that she is not confident that other specific individuals are not cheats and so when playing against other very highly rated players she cannot assume she is playing against a person except against those people. I don't think she means that every other highly rated player is cheating.

Correct me if I'm wrong, oh, great clan leader. 🙂

As you're a member of Dune I am shocked at your lack of support for RHP's #1 rated player.

Hi stephen, you are somehow right.

But maybe i exaggerated a little, but i really am not trusting people going above 2k rating, and will suspect of him/her as a cheater. The people mentioned above, i have full confidence in, although i have friends above 2k but yet i can't be certain. With the number of bannings and cludi a game mod was a cheat himself explains it.

Unfortunately I can beat the only computer game I own (on maximum difficulty setting).😳

I will not support anyone if I'm even 99.99% sure he/she is real.
