By creating multiple IDs it is possible play them against one another, creating an artificially high rating for one of them. A guy on another site manufactured a 3500 chess rating this way.
i played on IYT for a while and one thing i noticed was there were more numerous chat sites. for example, there were two general chat sites - one devoted to more-or-less normal posts and the other a sort of weird free-fire zone.
a problem here may be that this site, which is intended for a specific topic, has become a sort of catch-all.
hello. perhaps it should be noted that we have been drawn into an unofficial game here, which could be called "Conquer the Site." it is often played wherever there is a free-access chatsite.
it has these stages:
1) the player, either with accomplices or using multple IDs, starts making gratuitous, obnoxious posts.
2) innocent bystanders are provoked to reply.
3) the site is disrupted and repression is undertaken.
4) (where we are now)- arguments ensue concerning the methods of repression or whether they are appropriate at all.
5) more disruption ensues and everyone leaves the chatsite in disgust and sets up a new one.
6) return to 1)
anyway, i thought i'd mention this. thank you for your time.
i've played on a number of sites (and they all crash) and no one has found a way to prevent obnoxious posts.
i sort of skip though them and treat it as backround noise.
censorship proposals seem to just create a whole new conflict - between advocates and opponents of censorship - and this might be a motive.
that is, as is well-recorded, the best way to get a book read is to have it banned by a library.
when the system is down, it sometimes is possible to go to "Ratings" and call up your name. you can find recent moves made by an opponent, though you can't respond.
