Dice Cheater: Well, I do not know where you find your opponents, but most of my backgammon games go through blazingly fast. To me, the site bustles with life :P.

ThunderGr: Not naming names but I'm currently playing two of these ghosts.

Dice Cheater: You have just 7 games out of the 20 that is your limit. I am pretty sure you could, if you wanted to, start games with faster players.

Dice Cheater: You only have 7 games running, so it must seem like an eternity when you are expecting players to make a move and they have not done so. Perhaps if you played more games it would not be so bad for you. There are no rules that say players must make moves when you expect them to. If you can't take the heat you should leave the kitchen as the expression goes.

crosseyed: Why defend slow play? Slow play sucks.

Dice Cheater: Yep, I second that.

Dice Cheater: So, you can't stand that the other players impose their playing velocity to you, but you want to impose yours to them...
Like it has been said, no one here is forcing you to choose 7 day normal vacation games (in fact you have some games that have smaller time controls). If a player has a time gap to play, (s)he can use it. If it uses more time, it starts losing vacation hours, if even then he uses more time the game will eventually timeout. Yeah, it's kind of frustrating when you see a player with 50 games that connects everyday and it usually has +40 in his turn, but he plays within the time gap he is allowed to, so I can't blame.
Moreover, if you have only 7/20 possible games you can have, it is less likely to have a game in your turn. Like it has been said every time this matter comes up, this is not a realtime game site, so it is expected that the games last. Even so, there are countless time gap controls so that each player can use the ones that best fit his play style.
And this is not defending slow play... it is just remembering that each of us has the possibility to choose which games we want to play, so we got to face the consequences of the opponents we choose (especially if you are not playing tournaments)

El Cid: Well put again.

Dice Cheater: This is what you need

Dice Cheater: You are acting like a spoilt child because you can't get your own way. I am hoping that a moderator will delete your vile posting.

crosseyed: It did seem like an unusually strong reaction to a pretty tame emoticon.

The Col: It feel ashamed to think he comes from the UK. I hope he never takes ill and has to have a colostomy. Thankfully I am in good health and do not have colostomy bag.

crosseyed: It crossed the line, no question.

The Col: He got his wish. He is not upset with the game limits but the site and he has to have his way and be rude. He needs to be banned.

crosseyed: Sorry Mary. That was uncalled for.

Marshmud: Thanks but It did not upset me. He has shown his true colours now. I see all his posts have been removed now.
