Guess what, when I am getting my butt kicked in a speed game, I dead beat. Oh boo hoo it is against the rules.
Better that and end the game then both of us sit there and drag out a decided game.
if games decided just drop ...whats stupid is how bad db has become ..but some problems i guess we just cant fix ...how it got here is sad but its only going to get worse i fear ....over 50 percent of speed games have one or more db ...the members warned in the past well some continue to db most un winnable games ....one of the main draws to premium membership is speed games ..if we lose renewals what then less speeders then currently play now. some of the premium members are avoiding speed games for this reason .the way we got here is lack of enforcement of the rule i feel if members were to receive a short ban the message would be clear ..
Why would they punish DB? They've expanded resign so its easier then ever to quit games, they dont even have to deadbeat in some of them anymore.
If anything, they should remove the punishment for DB'ing because they've allowed people to resign, which is essentially the same thing. Its so common and now "accepted" practice to quit games that aren't over, so who really cares anymore?
Now, unless you are intentionally dumping points I really dont see the point in warning / punishing anyone who deadbeats speed games (or any really, since I'm sure they'll keep expanding the resign button until everyone can quit whenever they feel like it).
currently its a violation to db with a one month ban attached ..your opinion is scary as u were a mod dealing with the issue .the rules on site are simple join a game play a game . its the lack of enforcement buy mods such as yourself in the past that has gotten us to a high rate of db ..ppl do care.. in multi player speed games of 3 mins if 3 db that game it adds close to 30 mins added to that game .is that fair to the 3 who didnt db ..plus the regions the member is in and dbs are easy territories to take creating another advantage ..so to you its just not an issue clearly but as the rule still stands why should the current mods not enforce it ..
I know its currently a violation. I was mainly assisting as a MH, but my personal opinion doesn't override rules enforcement. You can separate the two. Enforce one while disagreeing. Shocking I know.
I also argued against the resign button because we continue to punish DB'ers. Im my mind, they're the same thing so if you punish one, you shouldn't implement a fast lane for people to quit games. If you do, then stop punishing others for DB. Again, personal opinion. Not saying thats the way the rules currently read. I didn't say it wasn't an issue. You have a severe reading comprehension problem mate.
no reading issues here ..the resign feature helps save time .the fact the site implemented this option was a good thing but seldom used as the i db is too common place ..u asked why would they punish the db s i answered ...dbs like speeding most do it now as no real past enforcement took place ..50 percent of speed games may be a bit high but its close to were the site db percentage sits .to isolate you for this is not fair its just a on going problem that needs attention ...the member last warned wasted 3 hours18mins in 34 games this simply is just not fair to our members ...
