I have as many email addresses as I can dream up want (as I have a domain and an email server) so this wouldn't stop me if I were that way inclined and as I do not have a static IP then the IP address wouldn't work either except during the same session.

i still cant see how that would work . using the ip address would be more suitable , but i like a few others have two paying members here

Would a suggestion be in order?
I have just registered as a new user, but I am a paid member as well :(
To stop the multiple log ins of trouble-makers would it not be possible to allow the use of your email address only ONCE? or even twice.
Now I know this will bring a howl from "family" users who all have the same email address, but in that case an email to a trusted employer or caretaker would enable multiple family usages.
It seems a good way to stop all the rubbish from trying to upset the rest of BrainKing...A private message on its way asking you to please close this account....LOL if that is possible without deleting this message

Fencer....I would assume one of our newest members would be referring to Rugby UNION (as the world cup has just finished and gone to England..congrats) but then it could also be Rugby LEAGUE...Australia has just beaten England 3 - NIL in a 3 test series.

Thanks.

is more answer than I can stand now. my team leaves. :-)

What rugby variation?

just because our funny rugby variation isn't acknowledged in europe?

In short.. how about the notation on the right hand side ? I think that tells you :0)

When playing backgammon does the opponent see the board as if they were sitting on the other side or are the dice reversed so that both sides see the left dice on their left and the right on their right? In short how do we know which piece they moved first?

Bill Bevins: Should be done.

Fencer, I can't join a new tournament, even though I've already lost the one I'm in. I'm hoping to win a membership at this site, so can you please fix me up so that I can join a new tournament? Thanks in advance.

wild receiver. I put offense of line on hide, as I will with you if you flame this board.

In honor of the KM fellowship's "adopt a pawn" program,the winner recieves a 1 year rook membership to BrainKing.com.If the winner is already a paid member,they may sponser a pawn,to become a member.Have fun,and pawns please remember to leave enough openings for the tournament. :)

I don't see any offense of line. But I see rubbish.

Also, any more about Gothic Inventor will be deleted now. The question has been asked and the answer is clear. Any more discussion should be done on a more appropriate board (and preferably in private! LOL)

offense of line: Whoever you are, please don't create accounts only for posting. Each person can have just one account.

"FENCER" is there no stopping this sort of rubbish????:???
what is offense of line?
could it be offensive line?

Ok thats enough. Most of this is going anyway.

Now that IS a backhanded apology....if Ive ever heard one :) ....but all that is expected :)
Thank you

Excellent work, Bernice. I stand corrected and you are correct. Forgive me for combining in my mind what is written therein with Fencer's statement below and coming to a rational, just conclusion. The fault is all mine.

I said ...."I cannot see where there are any confirmations as to who the directors are etc..."
well that is what i can see....praps your viewing has been somewhat curtailed hehehehe.
Look at this as copy/pasted from below....please indicate to me where Fencer and Liquids names are or for that matter the "Liar" what is his name???

as i said....NO Liar, no Fencer, no Liquid....this is off the Privacy Policy as per below

The directors are Fencer and Liquid, Bernice. Fencer's post below is very clear.

Having read the privacy policy AGAIN...i cannot see where there are any confirmations as to who are the directors etc...sorry
as far as im concerned...subject closed :)

Please read our Privacy Policy [the link is at the bottom of each page]. It never was broken and never will be. Nobody except me and Liquid can access the BrainKing database. It is a basic rule of each site administrator and BrainKing is not an exception.

Harley....I have deleted 2 posts from here...But i would ask fencer to please keep an eye on new members...especially when they start flaming...couldnt they be banned?

I would have thought that all posts in regard to GothicInventor would have and should have been on the "Truth about the Trice" board...after all this is what it is called :)...it dont belong here.

"This is not to suggest for one moment that BK would abuse its position, simply that the medium itself is insecure."

You may not have seen his post but Trice claims he could read the messages in the database, this clearly would be an abuse of the trust we put in this site.

I am aware, as most people are of the dangers inherent with use of the internet but it does not mean we should ignore it when it affects us.

Anybody that places confidential or private information over the internet onto a server not controlled by a formally regulated organisation or system and without an appropriate level of encryption or access control, is asking for that information to appear in the public domain.
This is not to suggest for one moment that BK would abuse its position, simply that the medium itself is insecure.
Simply put... if you have something to hide, dont hide it here.
In the same way you would not discuss your love life, or office conspiracy et al where it could be overheard.
Then whether or not your messages can be overlooked becomes largely irrelevant.
Having seen some of the posts, personally I feel anyone who could sift through all that rubbish for a nugget of interest deserves a medal.

Either it's true or not but I believe it should be dealt with. Someone who has a financial interest in this site should not make claims like that.

A M KM if u believes Ed Trice claims to have access to the database and says he can read our private messages. Then I have some swamp land in Texas that I would sure like to sell you. hehehe

Of course its not true..

With all respect to you and I do mean that, I believe it is the right of everyone on this site to know if their private messages are being read.

I'm not sure why so many people believe Gothic, and I can't believe it keeps making it's way to this board after it has been requested to keep it off of this board.

Ed Trice claims to have access to the database and says he can read our private messages

Eriisa: I'll transfer it to someone else. Myself, probably :-)

Fencer, how can I join the Lost Lyrics Fellowship if the big boss is banned? I'm pretty sure I was on it before the crash.

Technically this isn't for tournament chat :o)
I've made a couple of exceptions since they are not able to post in the appropriate place, but I'd be grateful if comments about these tourneys were sent directly to the creators. Thanks :oD

I'll join it wild, if everyone in my section wants a free win :)

In honor of the KM fellowship's "adopt a pawn" program,the winner recieves a 1 year rook membership to BrainKing.com.If the winner is already a paid member,they may sponser a pawn,to become a member.Have fun,and pawns please remember to leave enough openings for the tournament. :)

Please join up, all KM and non KM and anyone who belongs on BK are welcome :o)

just a personal note: I've suffered from an accute attack of boredom reading the latest pro/anti Ed deluge. as a temporary cure I've unchecked all favorite boards and non-game clubs except this one. I might have a look again in a month or two, but am not certain. in the meanwhile, kids, I'll see you over the gameboards and perso messages. see you around

How would it be changed?

noholdbarred: It is planned for the new version.
Uil: Forever. But it is also a subject to change.

do ratings last for ever or are they only based on the games played in the last 12 months?

I am talking about completed games list... to group games by player or review recent

If you mean on the main active game list, I can still do that.. I switch back and forth all the time... I like it better in alphabetical order of game name, but switch to being ordered by "time left", frequently to make sure I move on games low on time.

Fencer
Has there been a change in functionality with the new code?
I do not seem to be able to select column for sorting order of played games. I am sure I used to be able to put them in date order...

Glad to hear that :-)
