If BK has a fault or weakness it is the inability to prevent Multi Nic's from being created by trouble makers.
When a new person shows up on General Chat they are scrutinized, ignored, mistreated and sometimes falsely accused of being someone else, all because of Multi Nic's.
I am sure some of us have at times offended innocent people just trying to make contact and develope friendships.
All of that has been caused by people like the one you pointed out. Sounds like Fencer resolved that pretty quickly.
Could guest players be prevented from doing anything but playing games? Is that a good idea? They could only post msg or send PM's after purchasing a memebership?
Fencer: Since tournaments setup using the Fischer's clock time does not use vacation or weekend days, can we get a red "dot" next to those PLAYERS IN FELLOWSHIPS THAT ARE ON LINE?times in the tournament list also - as a "reminder" to us that they do not include weekends or vacations.
I've noticed at the top of the main screen each day the person with the most moves is praised and listed. Well since I have been noticed as the most frequent poster, should I ask Fencer to recognize me with equal "PRAISE?"
In the F/S where each memeber is listed, it would be "WODERFUL if the little green lights would display next to memebers that are on line at the moment!
Anytime decesions are made i'm sure whats considered is, "Whats best for the members as a whole"
in this incident, (spam messaging)is it best to try to reach everyone and try to inform or involve everyone by group messages when the only negative is to ask informed members or members that arent intrested to simply delete them.
Andersp:I beleive if they have failed it's because of misunderstandings between the BIG 3.
Fencer, Globs and Mods.
It is my understanding a move is underway to rewrite or to enforce existing rules across the board. I have heard rumors of that. I hope it's true. I'm sure everyone by now saw the post that was posted by a Mod earlier this week concerning the Mods thinking, that the Code of Honor was a joke.
I do not beleive that. I do not beleive MOST mods think that. I say give them time and see if there aren't "more" changes forth coming shortly.
Cranky Franky:Have you written to any of the Global Mods? They are listed below. I have been pleased with their response in general concerning any complaint I have ever had. Global moderators:
Walter Montego:Yes, please, gravy on those potatoes.
I just fell into the trap of not considering what others were saying and being so dang sure I was correct. It will be a while before I make that mistake again. The one thing I have learned on BK is, there are a lot of intelligent people on here that deserve and need to be listened to.
I have just never considered cheating and assumed that no one else would either. I love learning the games and improving and developing new skills. What you, Jules and Pedro said makes a lot of sense. I was JUST thinking of the DICE ODDS. My Bad.
Andre Faria: Andre Faria:You are exactly right. I was speaking when I should have been listening. I started playing in August and thought I had it all figured out.
I just went on Google and found several programs. I honestly didn't think they would help. You guys need to copy and paste this confession in a private file for later use.
件名: Re:a REAL good backgammon program can help a lot, especially not so experienced players.
Pedro Martínez: Not since I told them the odds. It is an odds game! That same computer would also tell an inexperienced person how to roll craps. The trick is to learn the odds and learn the game. The guy with the computer will never learn, "IF" he indeed has one.
Lamby: If they are using something to aide them in any dice game, I know where they can get some Snake Oil that cures every disease known to man. Send me $50.00 and I will send it to you.
philip:If he has one, it's because he failed 9th grade Math. You dont need one. Your better players dont use them. They know the odds from books, the internet, or just common knowledge. They use the odds in making their moves. Copy what I just sent you and use it. That isn't cheating. it's knowing the odds of an opponent landing on you if you move your piece in any location on the board.
