POINTS DUMPING

[Craig25]

Some players, when they decide to leave CC, trash their own Ranking by setting up loads of speed games which they have no intention of playing. It is called 'POINTS DUMPING'.

What most people don't know, is that players who try to make a few easy ranking points by joining the games are being BANNED from CC.

I can understand why CC want to stop players from joining these games but to BAN A PLAYER entirely for what is a misdemeanor is a punishment that is not suitable for the Crime.

I suggest that for Players who KNOWINGLY join games where the opponent is POINTS DUMPING, they automatically have their Ranking reduced by 30 Points per game which will wipe out any benefit.

But to see what the wider CC community think........

Question: What should happen to Players who knowingly join Games where a Player is Points Dumping?

A: They are BANNED from CC.
B: They have their Ranking reduced by 30 Points per game.

I don't think anyone is being banned for joining game from a player that is point dumping.
Are you sure of what you're saying here ?

Strange folks out there!

But curious here, on The Ram his points dumping show there was this comment:

"yorkie pudding is usimg advantage of the ram point dumping by joining numerous games despite I warned him by wall message that the ram is point dumping."

So that would be doing it KNOWINGLY right?

But yorkie pudding is not banned right?

Uuuh, not sure where you're getting that info from. From KA:

The ram has been given a website ban so he could give more time on himself. Players who took advantage of this had their numerous games with him deleted and have been warned.

Note that taking advantage is not just a single game (see numerous), but abusing the fact that he's dumping for some quick and easy points.

No player was banned for joining the games in question. Only the person intentionally point dumping was banned.

He has an active site ban for 72 hrs that should end 1/18 at 9pm. He was warned about using the ram game and point dumping but decided to ignore the warning.

Hey Mad thanks for the clarification. I knew he was warned, didn't know he'd ignored it and subsequently been given a short time out. For those who are not aware, it wasn't just a couple of games, he joined over 40 of rams point dumping games.

[Craig25]

99.9% Sure, see yorkie pudding in 'Cheating & Abuse Reports'.

It strikes me as a bit NUCLEAR to ban him from the site.

I am trying to invite him to games in the Super League and get the following message:

"Error: Invite Failure: yorkie pudding is banned"

I don't think anyone is being banned for joining game from a player that is point dumping.

Cheers Mad, the post from CC was not clear.

Fair Enough if it's a short term ban.

Often times in a rapidly developing situation mods may opt to issue 24-72 hr bans to hit “pause” on a situation and evaluate what’s going on especially if said user ignores warnings. That makes it deliberate vs accidental.

Ultimately only admin can outright ban someone, only thing mods can do is short term “bans” and escalate to be reviewed further.

My post was about answering Craig question and a X member banned for joining the ram games.

So I learned a new foolish behavior, "Points Dumping," and how people take advantage of it and get time-outs.

[Dukasaur]

Not to be confused with "Plum Dumplings" which my grandmother loved to make.

[Hooch]

This poll, that lead post or Craig25, which is the most vapid?

-----------Now I am thinking of ,"The Apple Dumpling Gang", you can see The Ram looking out the stagecoach window.....yelling..."I Gotta Go ",...The stagecoach stops....The Ram runs behind the bushes.... ... ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)...
