Subject: Fencer I have a problem
Today and late last night, I found at home and work, that each time I open internet explorer I have to log in to get a server not found page, then go back and log in again before I can get into BK. My wife has had the same problem

OOPS.....I wasnt talking today :( i was talking theother month :( crash that was longer than 20minutes....and yes your are right....20 minutes to repair and upgrade and clean up is worth the wait....sorry :)

28. November 2003, 08:52:21
Fencer 
It was not a crash, only a short inactivity because of firewall management. I am sure that 20 minutes of server being down is worth improving the overall security.

today is the FIRST time since the crash that i have had the....Too busy...cant get in signal :(

If people want help from me please do it by sending me a message. But I do want the site to know but many ERIISA i'm truly SORRY that it was up there. TYVM e1 for putting me in my place.

I know I really need to get a Post Office Box, but I don't have any other need except for this. mrloupcity, thanks for trying to help out.

Agreed. Sorry, mrloupcity, but if it was my address I wouldn't want it on a public board. Its up to Eriisa to give her address out if she feels comfortable with that.

Her mailng address isn't public as far as I know. People interested should just message her, and get the address from her personally. I know I would probably be willing to help someone out this way, but I don't want MY mailing address out here for just ANYone to see!

Subject: Noho`s suggestion
Good idea from Noho,an example at an other server:
there are "Qualifications" necessary.
Q1= one game must be finished
Q2 = Q1 + a period of two months since first login , player can play special tournements.
after one special tournement he gets Q3 and can play all tournements.

I don't think it's good to put someone's address openly on a public discussion board! She might not appreciate it!

Ok a probation period... and how about having to have played some games before being allowed into tourneys.
I am not overly concerned about method here.. just a realistic cure...

Since fencer is charged something like 2 bucks for every transaction, sending him two bucks would defeat the purpose but if someone (namely me) with a merchant account was willing to accept the $2 (money order, cheque etc)sent to me I could then send it to fencer in one larger lump sum once it accumulated. Its something worth thinking about.

27. November 2003, 20:18:36

Subject: Re: Sounds to me...
I do not think a $2 suggested one off payment is beyond anybodies means. It is to deter people from making multiple ID's and using them to disrupt the site.
Perhaps if you would be so kind as to leave personalites out of it you could insteadv offer a constructive solution to the problem of the abuses highlighted here recently.
My previously posted views, if actually read were...
1) The principle of free play provides a pool of competition which I should not like to lose.
2) Those people who do pay should be given precedence of access when resource is in short supply.
Neither of those previous points has anything to do with this suggestion. They were to address a different problem.

is just trying....

to get everyone....

to pay up.....

because of personal views against those....

who do not or cannot pay to play.....

And that just sucks.....

But luckily I think Fencer is smarter than that and is quite able to devise a plan fitting all peoples of all corners. :·)

I would be a paying member on principle, but the site won't accept money orders, which is what I use. Perhaps this can be changed.

Subject: there is a way
Simple really....
You cannot stop multiple ID's
You can provide incentive for them to behave within a code of conduct...
An enrollment fee...
Before the play for free party form a lynch mob read on...
It only needs to be a couple of Dollars...
It only needs to be paid once....
It can be later offset against other memberships should knight or rook be taken....
Since they then have something to lose "flaming" "tournament killing" become controllable and BK building expensive...
And if you can afford the ISP service/computer etc 2 bucks will not kill...

Now why didnt I think of that... instead of using the BKR to play amongst my peers...
If the ratings algorythm works as I think it does then he must have built a huge pryamid for it to work... perhaps if instead he had spent the same effort studying the game of his choice to improve his skill he could have the satisfaction of earning his rating.

27. November 2003, 10:54:42
Jason 
if people have to play themselves to get a high rating then they are decieving themselves . they are not as good as they would like to think they are ... ps i have noticed this with a few players ...hopefully fencer can get a way to stop it or at least catch then doing this and ban then or something in the final brainking version

27. November 2003, 10:42:18

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 have no statistics but the recent discourse on identity verification suggests that spurious memberships are created for other disruptive purposes.

This is a very rare case (isn't it?), any repressive steps to prevent such behaviour is likely to be a case of the treatment being worse than the disease.

May I draw your attention to a player DEADEND..
Joined 26th signed up for tournament first 5... resigned all games today 27th...
Appears no doubt in statistics for site and (no doubt) will never be removed...
May I ask what steps you propose to prevent the quiet enjoyment of the site by others being spoilt by this conduct.
