alanback: So, you think that, even when there is a known bug who is used by...let call them not-very-sportmen-players, Automatic Vacations should be still in use and not wait until it to be fixed? Play at the pace you want, no problem, but PLAY! I understand you won´t like to do as a player (we all know who he is) who doesn´t make a single move during one month in 1300 games...are you defending him? I´m not attacking YOU...:-)

Dear friends: I think we´re missing the point here...I wasn´t talking about those who use Automatic Vacations when you need it, but to prevent all those (non-)players who use it ONLY to annoy opponents, win undeserved games due to their opponents boredom, disrupt stairs functioning, and many crimes more...I think there should be a rule against them! not against decent players. Is it ok to have 1300 games and take advantage of a known bug to not make a SINGLE MOVE during one month???? If all those who defend the automatic vacation think it´s ok, then I think they are in the wrong site, maybe a chat site instead of a PLAYING site would be better for them.

Stevie: And why do you think they take such a hard work if they wouldn´t know they have unsporting advantage? They can win games and even tournaments witout knowing the game at all, just making their opponents leave the site in boredom (specially newcomers -Pawns, who have limited spots for games-) and drop their games.

Fencer: Yes! And if you need some ideas, just count on us, we´re ready to help you making this one the best site on the net!!!

Walter Montego: Another good point, my friend. By the way, as emmet has reportedd there´s a bug somewhere as I have a player timing out 9 games a day everyday since a month ago, and he has still 19 vacation days left, unchanged for past 4 days...and you know...whenever unsporting players detecct a bug they will exploit it to gain more and more advantage (by the way that player has 1268 games running, how many stairs is he blocking?)

SG1fan: I´m not talking about you or all the people who really needs them from time to time, due to an accident or the like...I´m talking about those who use it with the only porpouse to delay games, bore people, win undeserved games, sink the site, etc... Perhaps could it be given ONLY on THESE special cases like yours, REAL vacations, you-name-it, etc and making it ¨not-so-automatic vacations¨?

playBunny: If superb wine is poisoned and kills, I would prefer water.

Hey friends! What do you think about automatic vacations? Don´t you feel too many players use them to receive unsporting advantage (cheating?), and in that way tournaments last eons, Stairs are stopped and too many players (specially newcomers) are disappointed with the site and leave, making as all to lose a potential opponent and friend? Don´t you all think it should be deactivated? At least until a less nocive feature could be deviced and implemented...
