As far as swaying people...do you seriously gauge peoples opinion, by the handful of posts in a thread? Anyways, Ive only responded to each of your concerns, and since you were essentially accused of a kind of cheating....again...not real cheating...I felt you deserved responses. The fact that its the most farming since the rule was made is the other reason.
Oh, and sorry about those delay tactics that you foed me for. Its obvious you are out to play the most fair games out there possible now.

After a discussion with other mods I have decided to issue Krapt with a warning.
The high % of new recruits is a worry, but mostly the fact that Krapht admits that he knows these games attract new recruits and he contiuues to create the games. We consider this a grose abuse of the game as it creates annoying and unwelcoming gaming atmospheres for the New Recruits involved.
Lack is in the process of adding Feudal to the mpas that new recruits can't play. When that happens I dont know, but he has been again made aware that it is a map used for farming. So he is 'on it'.

I checked if owenator is a multi with any new recruit and he is cleared. He also has a mixture of opponents.
For a newbie farming case possibility, I think it is no longer surprising that Feudal map is one of those maps that certain people have loved to use and create games from it, which coincidentally, many new recruits actually join. One question to ponder for one's intention is, would you love the map this much if you were not playing with new recruits most of the time?
I will be less strict from now on regarding this newbie farming rule as I do not want to dictate how a player wishes to enjoy the game on this site.
If the accused is the one joining the games and/or we see evidence that he/she is inviting new recruits, then we probably have a case to look at.
Still, if a player has mostly new recruits as his opponents in his collection of games with a specific setting, we might suggest to change your preferred settings from time to time in respect of the newbie farming rule.
If we get reports or comments about certain maps that have been 'abused' because they lure too many new recruits often, who knows, there could be some adjustments to further balance the games out there.

Some players have been farming extensively - even sending hundreds of PMs to the latest members to get them into their games.
This is a gross abuse of the game. It gives the New Recruit "victims" a poor first experience and reduces the chances of them sticking around. As farmers move up the scoreboard it also harms the competitive nature of Conquer Club - the scoreboard is meant to measure skill in the game, not "harvesting" techniques.

So now the truth comes out. Fitz is pissed off because he is on someones foe.... Hypocrite, not like you fitz. Shame on you.

If that's all the logic that's needed, why the hell is KLOBBER still running free? Sure, he doesn't target explicit noobs, but he sure as hell is violating the intent of the policy, and everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) knows it. There isn't even any question about it, unlike in this case. Yes, yes...the "magical" five games played...a weak excuse if I've ever heard one.

i want to play games where i have a tactical advantage...
my best map is feudal...
...
and then i'd love to hear the "no that's against the rules also" post from the dipshit mods...
the same mods that completely dismiss johnnyrocket24, demonfork, and king_herpes joining thousands of games with horribly ranked players in order to pad their stats...

"Newbie Farming" is the technique of setting up as many games as possible (either by starting or joining them) with New Recruits to gain easy points by taking advantage of difficult game options and the fact the New Recruits are more likely to deadbeat.

If i see something quacking i call it a duck...
And the rules are hardly "posted"
You have to dig through pages of forum threads to find them...
I do think that the way things change here is a positive thing, like the american justice system... when a mod (judge) makes a ruling it becomes a precedent to which future rulings will be refered...
But these rulings need to be posted in the rules section...
Just food for thought...
...now back to farming
