Hi Guys,
This is my first forum post having been a member on the site for a few years now. I checked the last few pages of posts and didn't see this topic mentioned so I thought i'd raise it - apologies if it has come up before and has been discussed to death!
I would like to raise the issue of people claiming timeout wins without sending reminder em ...[text shortened]... l button has been clicked?
I look forward to reading peoples thoughts.
Cheers

Originally posted by Philly GIt's a very bad idea. Thank you for sharing it. You are more than welcome to continue sending out email reminders. I suggest that you keep your own time allowances in mind as you play.

Originally posted by Philly GPerhaps something like a 3 day per move then 7 or 14 day timebank would be good time limits for you. Then if you couldn't move for 2 or 3 days you would still be good, and not have to worry about timing out in your games.
Thanks for your thoughts! Perhaps I am just too nice and a little naive in thinking everyone will do the same as me. I know managing the time settings on a game is the ideal option, unfortunately for me personally its not always possible to get on the internet 24/7 so there are time when I have to go 2 or 3 days without playing a game. Nevermind.

I never read reminders, I never remind, and I always skull. (Rare exceptions...) And sometimes I get skulled, of course.
I'm honest about it, it says so in my profile. Noone should be surprised.
If such a rule (remind first, then skull) I would do that with less of a seconds in between.
Or do you mean there should be a certain interval in between? Y ...[text shortened]... u cannot handle the agreed thinking times, then you deserve no reminders... (No offence given)

I'm more casual with my chess, but there shouldn't be a rule forcing reminders as I've stated.
Reminders are an option, skulls are also. I've shut off receiving them. My times (7/14 most often) is enough for me to slack off when I want and avoid being timed out.

Originally posted by SwissGambitI think thats the main difference! I have noticed there seems to be a clear divide between the serious chess players and the people who are here just for fun. I'm one of the latter so I guess I find it a bit odd when a great game is being played and all of a sudden it's ended because I'm one minute over my time limit.
It depends on what you're used to. If you're a casual player only [not that there's anything wrong with that], then you probably aren't in favor of rigidly enforcing time limits. If you're a more serious player, you are. As a member of the latter group, let me just say that I claim skulls immediately, and this not out of sheer malice, but rather because I come from a chess environment where this is the norm.
