Please go back to a limited feedback system for the sake of honest players....
BUT....!
... since MANY player obviously abuse the feedback system to the point that it is disruptive to site administrators who often have to referee such careless uses, limit every player to ONE (1) negative per 30 day cycle and as many positives as one wishes to leave.
In support of my suggestion:
I. If players were permitted to leave ONE negative then the weight of said negative would help self police obvious abuses.
II. As much as we all want every player to play with ethics, we all know there are players that find a way to cheat and to an honest player, this is a huge turn-off.
III. Limiting players to ONE negative per 30 day cycle would avoid abuse of the feedback system while promoting fair play.
IV. I am currently involved in a game with Chris Columbus who has blatantly cheated and as such found a flaw and is exploiting it and his history shows he is a repeat offender. I will not proffer how he/she is cheating for fear of teaching other potential cheaters to use the same method. I have no recourse and no way to warn other honest players....
V. My experience so far has been that the majority of mal intended abuses usually come from NON PAYING members leaving a vary UNFAIR result against PAYING customers who respect the site (and many non-payers who do as well)... that being said, it also leaves paying customers (and all who respect ethics) with an unfair duty of having to take extra care in watching the games they enter and who might enter after them...
VI. The new rating system does little to deter malicious players from abusing this site and its standards.
