ClayNashvilleTn: Clay, please, stop it. Flame pit was created and designed with the view that people WILL be offending and hurting each other there. Anyone who can't stand it can leave. Plus he/she can put anyone on the enemies list. I don'r see how the Flame Pit is hurting the BK. You don't have to read what's being said there and you'll be just fine. Stop trying to raise people.
harley: Firstly a period for nominations (including self-nominations) and then the voting stage. People could perhaps pose a question or two along with their nomination.
Backoff, floosie has her questions and is pondering the best way to answer them!
That reminds me, I did see the discussion about how people are chosen, I didn't have time to reply at the time - sorry.
Up to now I guess it has been me and Fencer who has decided, but I'm open to new ideas of how to choose someone. Someone mentioned a poll, that would be good but how would a short list be chosen for people to vote on?
ClayNashvilleTn: Ok please tell me who it is hurting and offending. To know what is being said in there, you have to be a member of the fellowship. Anyone that joins gets warned up front what the manner of uncensored discussion is. Please explain to me where this is comming from. I'm really tired of seeing this nonsense all over the site.
Backoff: No, I am not the only one that has a problem. I may the only one with the courage to bring it up, anyone that dares point out your policies will receive like treatment as well, but what I have already experienced while I was in there on two separate occasions has toughened my skin to the point that I think I can handle it now.

ClayNashvilleTn: It's not breaking any BK rules, the only time it even comes close to it is when people take stuff from there and bring it onto the public boards. None of the members there do that.
In reply to your question: "is it not possible for Mgmt to at least require a rule that no one is to make up false and erroneous information without them being a part of the f/s?"
This would be very difficult to do. If actual names weren't used, people would get around that by nick-names or descriptions.
The person being talked about would have to find out about any information posted about them in a fellowship - and then who can tell if something is false or not? Its a very difficult request to honour, even if these rules were in place.
Before you start a witch hunt on yet another DB, can I point out that 1) Anyone is free to join there and 2) you seem to be the only one that has a problem.

I would like to have an open discussion about the merits of the Flame Pit.
I know it's taboo to even mention rules enforced by Mgmt upon a f/s, but I believe the future of BK is being Jeopardized.
When a group of people are given and encouraged to have free run and anything goes including the bashing of Fencer, Globs and Mods and attacking innocent members behind their backs with lies and false and made up information something is badly wrong.
In this severe case of gross misconduct is it not possible for Mgmt to at least require a rule that no one is to make up false and erroneous information without them being a part of the f/s?
shagglbrox: you will continue your existing games, but be subjected to the pawn limits - i.e. wont be able to start any more games until less than 20. (I understand)
ok, so if i went to bed and game back 12 hours later and the time is an 18 hour limit, i shouldnt have timed out. i was gone 12 hours and the minimum is 18, why did i time out? i understand the added bonus, but this is a negative, i lost 6 hours.
i think something is wrong with the time out feature. ive timed out on 3 games (or 4) in the last 2 days, and i never leave less than 1 day of time. i went to bed at 11pm est and my game with the least amount of time was 1 day 8 hrs. i come here exactly 12 hours later and i find messages for 3 time outs, and the game time is 18 hours. can someone help me explain? is there something i dont know about the fischer time controls?
ArtfulDodger:I know that. I will consider thos objections of copy cat. That is a reasonable point. I will be open to suggestions to and for a new name?
