Teema: I don't see why anyone would be offended by having their posts approved anywhere before they
are posted to the main board..
Perhaps if they were all ran like that.. the boards might just be family orientated without all the problems of people flaming.. I know that includes me.. cause I have jumped back.. and I have said some harsh things on the boards.. I am no goody too shoe.. But, maybe things wouldn't get so out of hand either..
Kevin: two reasons.. suppose the banned member is allowed to come back.. after about a month of it shuffling between time out and reinstated.. and then he sits there time after time.. playing one move every so often.. Do you think it was fair to hold up the tourney for him??
And secondly: I don't want to even see his name on my list..
No.. especially since the player was banned from the site.. Thank goodness I am a rook and I am not limited to a certain amount of games..
Okay.. since it is evident that this player put automatic vacations on his profile before he was banned.. what can I do.. just delete the game? and will it affect my ratings if I do? Neither one of us has made a move in either of the games to my knowledge..
It is a bit odd to see the time go down in red numbers.. then come back in black with full time.. when actually I should be getting notices that the opponent ran out of time.. :)
I agree with you Walter.. it is so redundant.. and especially if you have an opponent that uses most of his time up in between playes.. I go nuts when I finally get back a backgammon game.. or reversi game where my turn is passed due to no available play.. or even when I can make a move and my opponent can't..
I can't think of one site that I play at other than this one which doesn't do the auto pass. And usually a messages is given automatically to the opponent making them aware of what all happened. :)
Teema: When is the game time outs going to be fixed?

I have two games from a tourney with Long John. They have gone into time outs at least 3 times since LAST weekend. And they all get restarted or refreshed time. This also happened with another player, Universal Eyes, as well as two games from another player which I can't think of the players id at the moment. However, those last three games were able to be saved by my opponents. And for what reason? For me to have to sit and wait endless days just to make a garsh darn move! Please fix the bug in the Time Out thingy. Cause I would certainly not wish to endure another refreshed timeset for the saved games again..
the games for Long John are numbers 522067 and 522068. Didn't know if you needed them. :)
Go to Fellowships page.. the link to the left.. scroll all the way down.. and under the window of the listed fellowships.. is a link to create a new fellowship.. Click it! :)
making new id's wait 24 hours to play at BrainKing.. just curious I have a friend who just signed up and wanted to play a game.. but, he has to wait 24 hours..
there are fellowships for those type boards as well..
I would be really hard to call this a family site if boards such as that were accessible to childrens eyes.. That is why a lot of fellowships were created.. so the boards wouldn't be easily accessed..
Why not get a wireless keyboard then.. or wireless mouse.. hahaha
and viruses.. you don't get.. unless you foolishly open something you shouldn't.. If you know how to protect against viruses.. such as firewalls.. well then.. you don't have probbies.. haha..
And with puter .. peeps can chat together and even share webcamming.. :)
I have 25 days left for vacation days.. I don't mind donating 15 to 20 of them to help those in critical times.. So.. I wish to contribute any part up to 20 days to someone dealing with the traumas of the upcoming hurricane ..
Yes.. I have noticed a slower responce just a bit ago.. was able to play on my games.. but, at one time I ended up having to reboot just to get back due to an error page..
Last evening I learned a shocking discovery. A friend of mine from this site was having majors problems with his account. And, after speaking to him I realized his account was being operated by someone else who had learned his password. It was starting to become clearer to me now after I had been so confused especially the last few days. Someone figured out his password, and was playing certain games. As well as had written some threats in which they sent out privately. He was really concerned last night since he had confronted his son and others who had access to his computer.. His son was also a bit miffed since his account was going through the same confusion..
What is it like for opponents and friends of an ID who is getting in a sense, Hacked into.. Or for a better phrase, taken over by another person?
Endless waiting for a return of the game you are playing with them yet you see them online. Perhaps you are chatting with them and have asked them a question which you assume you would get a quick reply over..
Another sign is unanswered messages.. Seems the one taking over will delete those messages that come in asking why they aren’t answering the questions directed to them.
I also noticed a game invite I sent to him ended up being deleted several days ago, after he requested another challenge …
Glancing over the Boards and seeing either jumbled posts or posts that were written so out of character. I witnessed several times players angered by him not responding back on the boards when they saw his name was apparently online..
I also witnessed his son being on the site at the same time he was. How is this possible when they even state they use the same puter..
The frustration I heard from both he and his son last night while I was TALKING on my mic to him and HEARING him reply back, that messages were getting contorted, erased, sent and posted that he nor his son had any control of.
Who are the ID’s I am talking about.. They are the ID’s known as MASTERMIND and Universal Eyes.. Who is the one suspected.. ?? (edit) aka (edit) aka (edit) aka (edit).. Yes.. I said (edit) since Al (MASTERMIND) was playing checkers against her and noticed some of her moves were more like that of someone more experienced in the game.. Such as (edit) experience is known to be…
What made me pick through the confusion and not quickly judge or get angry at MAESTERMIND or UE? My experience.. Several years ago a dear friend of mine at another game site was struggling with the same thing.
Why I am posting this instead of AL or his son.. Because, no sooner will he post it it will be tampered with when they log off by the one who is accessing their accounts unauthorized to do so.
An apology also is extended out to Bumble, unfortunately you had been subject to the quick finger of (edit) booting you out.. NOT MASTERMIND.. (edit) must have been in his account during that time..
Another apology goes out to Skyking.. AL was asking what happened to make you up and leave.. He is just as confused as anyone else here..
And Stevie, I was asked to give you an apology as well. Universal Eyes account is going through the same problems.. Mike said he went into his account and saw all the angry pm’s and responded too quickly back, But he himself did NOT write those threats to you.
I think AD also received something.. And appologies were also extended to anyone who may have received a threat or a comment.
