been thinking if its possible to try and stop the dead beating in speed games , i purpose if a member dead beats in a speeder they cant play for 24 hours.. looking in to the last 200 games its just common place to see i db..i feel this would help get message across that to dead beat is against the rules ..it would be a clear message to all i feel ..its very easy to see in finished game history but would be time consuming for mods but i feel its needed ..if after the 24 hr suspension it continues increase time that member cant play for ect ..we can see warnings really are not working and feel a more drastic approach is needed ...not all play this way but its spreading like a cancer..if this was to run for one month on site i think it would help greatly ..as i am off work for 6 weeks i could and would help by posting the dead beat games for the mods to determine if the missed 3 turns warrant the 24 hour suspension. if we join a game we should play it out ..it s easy to find these games i just dont know how easy it is to guest the offender s for the 24 hours ect ...clearly its out of hand ..

your not alone ..its costing renewals as well ppl like minded see that and realize this ...speed games are a big draw to premium membership !!!

This is unrealistic. This would cause them to miss turns in other games. Please coherently think about your ideas before posting them.

i did think and this would help curb the issue big time if they miss turns in 24 hour games is a deterrent to dead beating speed games ..rules to date just are not working ex there is a member currently warned 2 x and still to this day has a page one 0f 30 plus games were i db is written in chat .. also new members may not know its a violation to db as its so common place...lets make april stop the dead beat month ..it is a realistic approach to curb this mega problem ..or instead of this solution what do you propose??? ..take a few mins go into game finder click on baltic crusade map speed games finished....its not uncommon for 3 out of 6 to db ...whats unrealistic is allowing this to continue...

Your solution to missing turns in speed games is forcing people to miss turns in casual games. I thought you didn’t want people to miss turns?

goal is to stop deadbeating ...maybe 12 to 18 hour suspension at first .. u do realize the rule currently after ist warning is 30 days suspension ..unless this listed below information is wrong ..im willing to devote the time needed to post the dead beat games for the month and let mods decide the outcome....

Well, after warning, the next step is a 1 month ban. And it happened before.
I am not sure what's the step after 1 month ban, I hope most people stop after getting the 1 month ban

thats real hard to do i suspect and life does step in and turns /games will be missed ..to deny that member opportunity to play is quite simply not fair ...

So if Player X starts a Speed game, plays it with intention of playing the entire thing, suddenly has to leave due to an emergency, they get punished by having to miss turns in standard games? Or if their internet goes out? This will never pass.

To the victor go the spoils... and the task of keeping an eye out to make sure the deadbeater doesnt sneak back and take a turn.
I don't see it as a problem in 1v1 games. I used to do it all the time and it doesn't bother me when someone else does it. Most of the time if I have played them before I just take their word for it.
Sometimes (also if I have played them before ) I make sure I hang around.
I do think its rude just to close the window without saying anything. Or scumbag to just say something ambiguous like gg, then miss two turns and come back and take a turn. I foe people that do that.
Since the resign button came in I dont do it nearly as much.

And it is poor form in a multi player game > 1v1
something the OP is apparently not above doing according to a few choice posts on his wall... .

its against the rules to db ....i posted yesterday the first 10speed games on finished speed games page were 5 out of the ten games resulted in db ....
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.
