too many people have "artifical ratings as they are using irisponsible timeouts to their advantage. i think you should only be able to timeout an opponent if s/he stops moving altogeather rather than if s/he is in a traffic jam, late back from work etc.

Originally posted by XanthosNZIt's absolutely appalling. I don't time out if they've stopped moving for a while. But if they're moving on the site and neglecting our game, I timeout idmediately.
