Clinch Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Of course all of us sometimes do things that we later regret, but few of us are sexual predators, racists, or people who threaten other members with violence. Unfortunately we do have some members who fit into these categories and I don't see any point in trying to think of nice words to describe them. Sorry, I misread the context. I definitely agree that the "abuse" channel is needed for that type of extremity. The only thing I would say is that a lot of the rights and wrongs of less clear instances can be very subjective. For instance, I played a while back in some random individual tournament, and my mayfly partner said "well you sure know how to floor a cold contract" (or something similar). Now, to me, that seems harmless, and he had a good point on the hand in question. I could imagine, however, that others may take offence and complain at abusive behavior etc etc. They might even think this person is a jerk. I tend to agree with candybar - in some senses it makes sense to boot rather than to get into lengthy, fruitless discussions about whether the opponents are of the right standard, or whether you like the quality of their connection, or whatever. Or to bail if you just need to go, for whatever reason. There seems to be something of an underlying assumption that people who "boot or bail" do so randomly or with some kind of malicious intent. I would guess that these happen mostly on the emotional spur of the moment, and are unaccompanied by pathological tendency. Peter.New York, NY.

1eyedjack Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 To those with influence who are listening, may I please add a plea that when the software is tweaked (as it must surely be) to stop the clocking of Dummy bailing before hand end, there is an announcement to that effect?

EarlPurple Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 - I toss out duplicates; A can boot B several times w/o it counting more than once So I can boot "GIB" 100 times and it counts as only one boot? Good. And all the GIBs count as the same (not 3 different players?). Good. So I'm safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't sound like you are having much fun playing with GIB ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
