Keef, you're ranked significantly higher than the OP. And you're premium, and a mod.
What does any of that have to do with sitting for someone?
A lot, I'd say.
A player that the site ranks significantly better in terms of skill and experience taking over a lower ranked player's games for weeks?
That seems off to me.
Bypassing freemium restrictions? Hell, if I could do this, I'd be a general- "Sorry, I started a bunch of games, and I need my premium friend to finish them..."
That seems off to me.
A mod doing all of the above? Asking other accounts for their passwords in the forums in order to allow people to avoid CC rules on skipping turns?
That seems off to me.
Hmm, let's see.
1. "A player that the site ranks significantly better in terms of skill and experience taking over a lower ranked player's games for weeks?"
- Happens all the time around here. Inherent problem with sitting in general, not specific to one case. One of the major arguments as to why sitting should not be allowed at all, however, that is a different conversation and would require its own thread. This is one guy asking the community for help, not a policy thread. There are no rank gap restrictions on the site when it comes to sitters. What the OP has done is completely within the current site rules.
2. "Bypassing freemium restrictions? Hell, if I could do this, I'd be a general- 'Sorry, I started a bunch of games, and I need my premium friend to finish them...'"
- Huh? Wait what? Doesn't even make any sense. There is no "bypassing freemium restrictions." The account sitting for another has no effect on premium status or lack thereof.
3. "A mod doing all of the above? Asking other accounts for their passwords in the forums in order to allow people to avoid CC rules on skipping turns?"
- Again, what? Keefie didn't start this, he did not go out and solicit passwords to other accounts. The OP requested a sitter for a specified period of time and Keefie was kind enough to volunteer. No rules were broken here.
Ohhh, I got it, if you really have such an issue with this situation. You, Sym, are low rank, freemium, and not a mod. Sounds like a great fit to me! Right, you didn't volunteer, just came in to criticize the guy who did.
