Old York Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 There's hardly ever a technical solution for social problems. But the tourney problem could be solved, just by storing the number of tourneys a player begins and the number of tourneys a player finishes. Once a player has started in lets say 20 tourneys and he has finished 19 he would have a finishing quotient of 95%. Lets say if that goes below 80% a player can no longer list himself into tourneys, until he has finished enough tourneys as a sub, to get his ratio better than 80% again. As to the MBC, perhaps one could calculate the average numbers of boards before leaving the table. Leaving without playing a board or before finishing the second averaging several 0 and 1 will pull down your average. Perhaps hosts could ask for an average better than 2 boards/taking a seat. One of the problems is that BBO is now available to Internet Cafe users through the web/flash version. To kill half an hour they log-in and enter tournaments, either they get bored and go to another tournament or their money runs out.They normally log-in with different identities every time, so Fred's suggestion of blocking new members may help a lot. I have always been suspicious of identities like XyZ123 often with blank profiles etc. It is easy to see that 2 such players at adjacent machines can see each other's cards, and communicate easily Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spwdo Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 having to pay for a better environment is rubbish . When i held my Tr`s many said "he run a tight ship" I try to catch cheaters, i would give a runner 2 chances, then no entry anymore. Rudiness=bye bye. While others would spend their time in subbing the whole tourney long that didnt happen to me. All bbo has to do is enforce the policies already there. invest more time in bad behaviour , it will result is less work after a while . i told a yellow couple days ago" star xxx was playing as my partner and was sucked into a team match without informing table nor numerous kibs he had signed up for a team match", please let him now its no good ethics and stars must be an example. if a star does it and gets away with it, why would us lesser individuals not do the same?yellow responded: sorry Marc, i know. but its the way to do things these days. imo bbo is big enough these days and can afford to lose a few hundred bad apples and set an example for the whole community. inform people there will be a period of slightly tougher sentence for the bad guys/girls . None will be disapointed with the results afterwards. When gibs came into place on the site, one of my kids played around with one of my usernames. they cant play bridge, bid 7nt as a standard and as a result all my usernames were barred for several years.... At that time i used spwdo1 and spwdo2 to create TR since you couldn't list more then 1 TR with one user name. i felt my punishment was hard but since i was seen as an example said the person barring me it was a normal " sentence" marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shintaro Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 ;) Tony There is already A.N.other site where you pay to join They still have the same problems (rudeness, leaving during play etc) On that basis I do not think your suggestion would work (it doesn't on there) M ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spwdo Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 and try and get someone to behave that is paying for certain things is even harder. numerous times i heard tds say that hold paid tourneys that people paying 1 $ think they bought the persons running those events..
