MadMonkey: Did Fencer actually say that he is totally against auto-pass / auto-move?

If a player uses auto-move (if the server allows it), it need not concern the other players or the webmaster (at least if the server does not force the players of a game to agree on both using or not using that option, as it is currently (and I can only wonder why it is so)).

A player may not easily recognize the game situation after some automoves in a row. But that is the player's own business; he may switch automove off. And the server could, preferably, support a better solution: display the game after the last move made explicitely, together with a replay button to go through the following moves.

Another point is what happens if the opponent has sent a message together with a move, and the reply-move is done by the server. Possible solutions: don't automove in this case, or notify the opponent that the move was done automatically and the player has not yet seen the message.
