Is it ok, for a public board moderator to bait you by pm? the day after they get you banned from another public board by trapping you into reacting? as a pawn, i cant bring this up anywhere but here..
So please can a Glob see what can be sorted by taking the discussion over to the mod squad and sorting out the said mod??
On people's profile page at the bottom there is an 'invite this person to' a game of, and the short list is missing my favorite, Halma 10X10. Could that be added, please?
kondiau: As a pawn you cannot delete games, but you can resign it. If you resign at the beginning you won't lose bkr, but it will be listed in your win/loss statistics. Alternatively you could nicely ask Fencer to delete the game for you.
I responded to an invitation to a game of chess and when it said that his or hers profile was not in use anymore. How do i end the game without losing bkr.
Thanks for responding.
Pedro: It wouldn't mess up the database, let alone the "entire" game database!
Four reasons already mentioned: It's good for releasing names, it's good for uncluttering lists, it's good for accuracy and honesty, it's good for keeping Fencer from getting idle!
Dryznik: Do you know what I like the most on my job? That I can do only what I want to do and there is nothing what can force me to do what I don't want to do. There will be no reduction of the player list.
14,000 ghost memebers don't make good active players, pandding for numbers on the list don't make a good game site for active players and...I wonder how many ghosts there are?
I think Fencer should get help to do some of the things needed, purging the files like playBunny and Rose suggests would be one of them. I'd say all those 'players' not active since at least 2003 should be removed.
Rose: I would agree that it would be nice to some-how purge really old accounts, but I would rather Fencer spend time on new games then figure out a good system to purge names (while keeping stats and such.)
As a side note, I would almost bet if someone *REALLY* wanted a user name that had been used in the past (but not accessed in the past 1+ year), I'm almost certain Fencer could work something out for you personally to be able to change into that ID. Again, not sure - but if someone was in that situation, a quick message to Fencer would not hurt.
playBunny: Or Have the users names dissappear but their ID number still be intact so as playbunny said it could free up names new users may want. Lots of folks want their first names (like me) but they were taken 3 years ago by folks who never came back!
