Well, here we are again. Despite numerous postings in most of the forums, we are faced with the meteoric rise ( 24 hours ) of 'huthawhatever123' to the giddy heights of No.4, RHP, but only after a blistering 'blitz session against our old and disgraced aquaintance 'payaya(123)' in which, suprise suprise, huthawhoever123 managed to prevail against a withering attack of some 50 resignations. The pace! The pressure!

Enough sarcasm? Probably. Enough action? Hardly!

I'm pretty dark about this because this is strike two for the admin.
I can't speak for Skipslot, Quirine, Feivel, Littlebear and Mephisto2 but I bet that they are less than happy with the situation.

Spare a thought for my old adversary LivingLegend, playing and winning to break into that magic 'top twenty page' for the dutch and his clan. Also BrettL, a compatriot, all now usurped by this pretender.

As mere players we are at the bottom of the food chain, IT speaking, and if we as players can work it out then surely admin can?

I've said it B4 to admin. Sort it out! and NOW! Feivel reckons I could play for years at my rate in just the Grands alone so does the term whistle Dixy seem familiar when it's sub renewal time (next month)

Jeez, at times like these, GameKnot starts to look attractive. The rego's are triple those of RHP but a least the mods deal with the cheats quickly and permanently.

PS To Flash - I know you have instructions but I think this thread needs to be aired?

Hi skeeter,

Well - crikey I will certainly be in trouble when Russ gets back from his well-earned holiday. It seems I've let the site go to pot in his absence!

Please don't worry about artifically inflated ratings - it won't be long before we have this problem sorted. I made a post to this effect a few weeks ago.

This is not something to be taken lightly - after all, look at the emotions it stirs up in the forums. I hope to get something in place by the end of the month - I would rather do it properly than risk causing even more of a Bruhaha.

If I had a choice I would be working on it right now; however, even to write this post I have had to wait for my lunch break.

I understand your frustration and my time-management is noone's problem but my own but I will admit to being saddened by the accusation of 'no action'. When I get home from work tonight I will answer everyone's feedback - and deal with any issues that have been raised during the day. I will then continue working on the various enhancments that Russ and I have in progress, one of which is the code to deal with artifically inflated ratings. At sometime around 2am I will go to bed, and tommorow I will do it all again (it's ok you can put the violins away - I have a CD that plays continually in the background).

As for Russ - well - if I explained to you how hard much time Russ spends working on the site you'd think I was making it up.

Again, this issue will be and is being tackled.

This is not something to be tak ...[text shortened]... n the site you'd think I was making it up.

Yep, fair enough. I did forget that Russ was away so in the light of that and the on going improvements I may have been a little harsh and for that I apologise if it caused offence. My bark is worse than my bite, mostly.
Thanks for the PM about the other issue and for this reply. It achieves heaps in that we now know that "your onto it" and so we can now get on with the chess.
