JerNYC:  wow if you feel that way I cannot understand why you even play here!!!

I do not find paying members here to feel above non paying members at all.  In fact you will find most paying members are friendly and help non paying members.
  As for membership declining here I think it is people have moved on to different types of games, this site has not had upgrades in several years.  Fencer has said himself he doesn't have the time or interest, neither paying or non paying members can do anything about that.  That is a completely different issue

Fencer: thanks very much fencer
if you could also delete all the tournaments they have created and have not started yet that would be fair too

speachless:  fencer said about a month ago he was going to fix the problem,  I know it still isn't fixed because several pawns are still taking advantage of being able to create lots of tournaments before they become a pawn play unlimited amounts of games.

Fencer said he would fix the problem as it wasn't fair to us paying members, but so far nothing has been changed  I agree its not fair

Hmmm, it's really sad (but not too surprising) to see that some people will always try to exploit the system. Very well, it can be fixed this way:

1) A user cannot have more than, say, 100 tournaments in the "open" section of the Tournaments page. Do you want to create more? OK but wait until some of your tournaments start.

2) If a user membership expires, tournaments created by them (in the "open" status) will be automatically deleted, except the prize ones with prizes already provided.

3) Regarding the single eliminations tourneys, that might be a bug because pawns should not be allowed to sign up for another tournament if they are already playing (or signed up) another one. But the code is really old (8 years?) so I am not sure about that. I'll look at it.

Anything else? Sorry, I am totally consumed by other projects so I could easily miss other issues mentioned in this conversation.

re is what fencer posted

Emerald00671:

that's the same thing that AlterMann did before he became a pawn he created 365 tournaments !! Now the tourney section is a joke,  you cannot find any tournaments and they stay on the list for 30 days after they start.  This way they never have to buy a membership don't really think its fair to those that do

Bernice:  I hope she gets well soon she is a great lady

Walter Montego:  I agree I enjoy the site, and play often
