its not me vamp i dont mind getting flamed i love the excitment but other cant handle it those are the ones who need the help from BK...you can block 50 ppl an if your like me only place to find good tournys is in the fellowships

Dragon71: This is a public board. If you wanted to ONLY talk to Fencer, then I guess PM would have been the better choice? If you will not stop, then I will have no choice but to Hide/Ban you. I'd rather not do that. Thank you.

thats why i started my convo out with fencer not you

Dragon71: If you are (as it sounds) joining in the flaming.. then don't moan about flaming.

Otherwise as many many people easily do.. block & hide!!

Dragon71: Again. You have been provided with the solutions. There is no reason to keep going on and on.

the walls are fine, most can control them but when you got inmature ppl in the flame ones is the worst those are the ones that needs BK ppl in them

your ID is 2000 somethin rod i was here one of the first 500 so i dont think you was here near as before i was...i no what i am talking about...i am not as dumb as most

Dragon71: Feel free to continue this in private message, but you've already been provided with solutions to most of your complaints.

I agree about Walls. They are public and should be treated as such, and people who can't behave themselves there should be banned from posting on all Walls. I have personally said that DOZENS of times since they appeared here. However, the owner of the wall definitely DOES have the ability to delete and ban, but that's not good enough.

Dragon71: There's solutions for that too

And both of us have been here since almost the beginning, I'm sure, so you are mistaken in that assumption.

its not me an messages have been sent to you ppl an nothing is ever done so where else do you go...cause you guys mods sure dont do your jobs if ya any...just lay down an take it huh an shut up when you got 10 ppl comiong at you...an trust me its not me no one can handle me theey pray on the week...i make them block me cause they run an hide

hell i was a member her well before you chimura an rod...i left way back cause i seen the way the sight was headed but now i am back its much much worse

Dragon71: If someone is bothering you, yes. It's pretty simple. Rather than whine about it on a public board.

so Robert when you join this sight its not only the F/S boards ,,,they get to ya in message in games on walls...so what you saying is ok ppl join but if your not in the click you need to not join any F/S an put everyone on ignore so the cant message ya an all right...make yourself invisable when all your trying to do is have fun an play a friggin game

Dragon71:very strange post from someone with this

Dragon71: And that is when you use the "Blocked User" list to take care of THAT. There are solutions available to you. If you choose not to use them, then that is your own fault.

Also a good lesson NOT to give out your personal information to someone on a game site. Some people do it over and over and over again, and continue to whine when it bite's them in the rear end.

no not true cause if the bullies dont get you in the fellowships then they hound you all over in messages, in games an everywhere...i dont normally go to these stupid boards but when a click gets started with lies they sick all there dogs out even if your there or not...some ppl cares to much what jerks run them down so bad an give out addresses an phone numbers of a woman to strangers is know good at all...it could mean the difference tween life a death...so i take it you approve on ppl giving that information out ...your one of them in the click also an you friends i no most of them

rod03801: "No one is forced to belong to any Fellowship. ... It's VERY easy to not see their contents."

Well said

Dragon71: No one is forced to belong to any Fellowship. The only people who see what is in these "flaming" fellowships are the people who CHOOSE to belong to them. It's VERY easy to not see their contents.

Frankly, if you had been at IYT for long, then you would know that their PUBLIC boards were as bad as any PRIVATE fellowship board here could be.

Fencer you have let this sight be over run with bullies an let these ppl talk about ppl who only wants to play games at your sight an have fun...but you got all these flame boards here that you have no control over an let ppl down grade anyone they want...some ppl cant handle lies against them an it really bothers them but you continue to let it go on...wasnt like this at all when i was first here..but it is terrible now...these flame pits an boards in F/S's is a real piece of work you got going here...this is why IYT is always gonna be a much better sight, except for the ppl behind the scenes an have friends higher up they run this place not you anymore....i hate this sight has been so turned upside down...my my

nodnarbo: Thanks, I didn't know that such a board was available.

Maybe I am not alone, but lots of things on this site seem hard to find for someone who is actively looking, let alone someone just casually exploring....

happyjuggler0: there is a Feature Requests board where requests can be submitted. Fencer reads all of the posts on that board and takes them into consideration when creating new features.

Fencer,

I suggest that you create a "suggestion box". I don't know if such a thing occurs in the Czech Republic, but here in the US it is common amongst many employers and some businesses interested in what their customers want. The idea is that people drop notes in a physical box anonymously for their employer/manager to read and perhaps that suggestion will lead to a change in policy.

Perhaps you might create such a "suggestion box" here at BK. If the project you are working on is wanted by 3 paying customers, while 300 paying customers are begging for a different feature, then perhaps your time is better spent providing for those 300 paying customers instead of following your intuition as to what improvements your site could use.

By the way, this post was inspired by a suggestion of mine which I am only now posting to you. When I create a "new game" to be posted to the "waiting games" page, I would very much prefer to simply type in the rating (both minimum and maximum) range that I want to face, rather than have to choose between 100 BKR increments.

Thanks in advance for your consideration,
happyjuggler0

That's enough please. Personal messages between people should be just that, private. Thank you!

Just to be sure I checked your game
Now people can see you're indeed in a much better position and the "BK-system" was debet on your lost game
Tournament:  pro všechny , Discussion
Game ID: 4233565
Score of finished games (I Am The Best - Varazslo, Backgammon Race): 0 : 1 (= 0) (show games | Show all games)

<span>I Am The Best timed out.
<span>Varazslo is the winner.

Yes Jamie, you're totally right What a bloody mistake the creator of this tournament made, by 3 days a move and standard vacation.
Or is this what you meant with your question: How is this new plan going to stop people who don't move in games where they are losing?
Hmm you let me think now.... LOL

By the way, thanks for the message you send me

I Am The Best: That's impossible, and in my opinion not the problem When someone is losing a game and refuse to move is that his problem, not mine
I guess you didn't lose that game because your opponent didn't move? Probably he was better
So your nick doesn't tell the truth
What is your next goal, 3 games in the next 4 years?

I Am The Best: in your 3 games since 2006 - has the vacation system really been a big obstacle for you?

new mexico: Every year, everyone's vacation resets on Jan 1. You will be back to 35 days (x24 hrs) by doing nothing and waiting until Jan 1.

new mexico: You can buy another year even before your membership runs out, it adds 12 months to the membership time you already have.

Is there a way to get more vacation hours before my membership timed-out? Thanks for the info.

Mélusine: .. Just a matter of remembering your 24 & 12 times table otherwise.

I like the new system using hours instead of days for vacation.
Will the number of hours for vacation also be mentioned as days, so as to have an idea about the remaining time ?

Yes, I really forgot to add a "trash only" condition to the deletion script. Sorry. It should be fixed soon.

Vikings: it isnt there........I already looked before I complained.......

Bernice: look in your trash archive

Bernice: Yeah, it must be. I just noticed my Event box only goes back to Nov 11. I couldn't remember when the Event box started, so I checked Brainking.info, and it was Oct 21 or so. So, yes, automatic deletion must be happening. I would guess it only keeps things for a month.

rod03801: yes but it doesn't give me back the results I have lost....thanks for your help

Bernice: Won't the archive box work?

rod03801: thanks....:( that must have happened...I would rather go back to the old system...

Bernice: I believe Fencer contemplated having some sort of automatic deletion in that box, but I don't recall him saying he had programmed that. I see there is an "Archive" box there. I would recommend sending those you want to save to that Archive box. (If that's the one you meant they disappeared from, then I don't know what to say! lol)

in my events box (in box) I only keep the tournaments I have won, the achievements I have won and the ponds I have won.

Can someone tell me why half of them are missing? NO I HAVNE't deleted then accidently.

I really like the fact that is will add 1 hour to ALL GAMES - and not just the ones that timed out.

Even though it hasn't been a problem for me for awhile since I got my game count down - when I had 1,000+ games and something would come up and I was unable to play for a few days - having the time only added to games that timed out mean all my games suddenly had less then 24 hours to play... meaning sometimes it would take me a couple extra vacation days to "catch up" to normal play.

I agree with you Fencer, less options makes an automated system less abusive. Keep it that way. Even for a turned based game-site , set rules for those who have never seen a real gameboard in their life or just people trying to abuse the system. Internet has given these options, But we / i also want to keep; a nice pace, stay interested in the games, not losing the flow, the feel and emotion of a game while waiting for an opponent.

nodnarbo: When people cannot set any options, they can hardly abuse a fully automatic system.

Fencer: You haven't learned yet? there is no ultimate solution...nothing is idiot-proof to a sufficiently talented idiot.

Fencer: great idea regarding the new vacation days, I think it will help to solve the abuse of the system

Good decission made concerning the vacation use /abuse, lets see how it works out.

happyjuggler0: You might decide it's not worth using up lots of vacation to save one or two games from timing out, when you might need the vacation later in the year to save many more games from timing out. This could happen if you're desperately trying to finish your games before going away, but due to a slow player or two, you don't quite make it.

happyjuggler0:
Because of the reason Fencer is changing it. Some like to pick their own vacation days...then cancel them so they get the extended time to play but NEVER actually use a vacation day
