Subiectul: PAWNS
I believe they will still have thier own rating still ,which they can see ....but just not on a table ? . if thats the case all pawns can still see what position they have on a table ..just that they wont be visible on the table , this is a good idea (in my opinion ) there are alot of pawns that will never upgrade no matter ,but as soon as any pawn upgrades they would appear on the list .

As I said, it's just a proposal, not a definitive conclusion. Otherwise I wouldn't waste my time with a discussion.

*nod* i was a pawn not too long ago (oh time flies! ;)) ... i love rankings .. not just the points but the position compared to other players .. i am not sure if i would like a game site without a ranking

but i also love a fast database :) .. and the fee isnt that high ...

There is one thing I'm not sure I got: pawns already don't have access to charts. When you say remove us from the charts you mean remove us our rating position with relation to others. We just get to keep a ranking, not a rating, is that it?

Pawns will also loose some competitiveness. Comparing yourself to others is a very big incentive to try to play better. So you'll risk diminishing the number of pawns on this site that are here just for the competition and that usually make good opponents.
Also, I bet some paying members would prefer to compare their position in a universe of 10000 players rather than in one of 1000.

Another thing: what will happen when a paying member stops paying? disappear from the charts? Or when a pawn that has already an established ranking finally decides to become a paying member? Suddenly show up?
Ratings might become a bit more unstable then what they are already today...

Of course, it would also diminish the time I spend on the rating listings, comparing myself to others ;)

Fencer:

yes: as a negative consequence, a lot of high rated pawns getting disgusted with the site too early ( = before making the decision to go "paid") and going elsewhere. the internet is big.

Subiectul: Rating charts
There was an idea of removing all non-paying members from the charts. They will be allowed to have BKRs but they won't be calculated for chart positions.

Positive consequences:
  • Significantly decreased number of position cheaters.
  • Another reason why to pay :-)
  • Decreasing the database server overload.
  • Significant improving of chart positions of paying members :-D


Negative consequences:
  • My message box flooded by complaints from pawns.
  • Shorter charts.


Did I forget something?

Subiectul: Bug?
looking at my Friends online profiles, it appears that none of them have finished 10 games.

looking at the "last finished 10 games" one of them only has one game showing and another of them only has 6 games showing, but looking at my own profile 10 games are showing as being finished...can anyone understand that LOLOL

Subiectul: Thanks!
A huge 'THANK YOU' to everyone that sent their good wishes to panda, myself and our new baby girls.
As you can appreciate, I don't have enough time to reply to everyone individually at the moment - so I hope this reaches everyone.
Thanks, guys, it means a lot and I'll convey all your sentiments to Krista and the girls - Cristyn, Bethan and Siân. All are doing extremely well and will be home, hopefully, around the middle of January.
Necessity, they say, is the mother of invention so I'm going to drape saddlebags over the computer monitor and deposit 1 girl in each bag and have the other in one arm - leaving one free hand for the mouse.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
