    Roma quit your clan and indeed.......left it in the hands of a moron. It has been a well written about event.

    Don't you remember........you threw your own clan games to your master robbie and after Roma called you out and informed the rest of the clan everyone abandoned ship like lightening.........leaving a moron in charge......of only himself.

    Here's what was presented

    Just leave it as it is. (Annual net points)
    Just leave it as it is (Annual net points) and punish any prior unsporting behaviour
    A new variant of the current Annual net points rating.
    An Elo rating variation, similar to player rating (As previewed in recent weeks.)
    A formalised competition with scheduled challenges and net points variation.
    Another solution, nothing above works for me

    (my take)

    1. doesn't really work, numerous threads have defined problems that need solving
    2. helps a bit but... more is needed than a point rollback, or history will repeat itself
    3. may have merit, if the change takes the right form
    4. elo 'as presented' requires further development to be playable
    5. sounds like '3' with structured challenges, what form would these take?
    6. really open ended ...and that brings me to the next point

    if i'm reading correctly

    RHP is asking us where their development efforts should go

    the wording is intentionally vague, allowing for clarification and improvement

    regardless of the outcome, i don't believe this vote is the final decision

    1 and 2 are exactly the same thing.
    Punishment of unsporting behaviour is already there. And it should be applied to all 5 of the other options.
    What this leads to is splitting of the vote between 1 and 2 which allows another option to garner more votes.

    Really ..... you could have presented ELO rating variation as 2 options, with and without punishment for unsporting behaviour.
    That is my point !!

    Yes, I believe 1 and 2 will have to be combined as far as the new system is concerned, then whichever is the greater of 1 and 2 punishment or no punishment can then be applied.

    Will punishment be a ban of these players or simply a roll back of points. I would support both of these punishments if applied.

    The vote on punishment or no punishment should be a separate issue to a system vote
    The 1 or 2 could be combined and then a vote on a new system
    If the vote to punish the wrong doers is taken why should they be allowed to vote on a new system if they have been banished ?

    Exactly.

    You've once again hit the nail on the head.

    debate in our forums resulted in two actions from RHP

    a new clan system rating was previewed
    a clan leader vote initiated

    cool beans

    thus far, the vote is in favor of 'punish collusion, and keep things as they are'
    not a bad result, but one that's been played out before
    clans chastened, points rolled back, parity achieved for a while

    the current system is prone to management or manipulation
    if you play into this, good results are certain
    credit where credit is due, and well done

    there was a bold move, on the part of clans that did not like this
    they colluded, and risked punishment, to demonstrate this weakness
    a hard to prove thing... collusion
    i do believe it was done, at risk, to made a point
    credit where credit is due
    again well done

    i will abide by, and play under any solution that is adopted
    (i really like playing on this site)

    i voted for a new point system, less prone to management or manipulation

    potentially, such a system could render management or manipulation unattractive
    and therefore not inspire the corrective action of collusion

    i'm new to this guys

    i have the chance to change my vote before all the votes are in

    have i been naive?

    You have not been naïve
    Maybe the site has by the voting options has. It looks like they are trying everything not to punish the cheats even when it's happened before
    I don't think they understand the utter contempt players on here have for the easy riders and sister clans
    What they did is a slap in the face for chess players everywhere
    There is no closing date for the vote
    Call me cynical but it looks like they are waiting for a result they want
    Punish the cheats
    No time limit on justice
    No amnesty

    Probably when they sort out the leaders vote on the clan system
    It needs to have the punishment vote before the vote on the way forward with the clan system

    This is a site defect that was introduced when Russ rolled out the clan rating pilot.

    Nothing to do with the vote on the options.

    All the clan statistics are way out of whack.

    That's how votes work, the leading option wins, pure and simple.

    If one option had to outnumber all the others combined, we'd never get a solution.
    People voting for #1 were wasting their vote, that was my point, which others have also stated.

    I just hope they come up with a solution soon, just put an end to all this nonsense.
    Not everyone will be pleased, but that's just life.
