The server taking points away.

I just recenlty lost 12 points back to back to someone, they sat their & did not move so I aborted the game, back to back and I lost 6 points both times? The server talks about "Fair Play" well he or she needs a reality check~(: In person I would beat them in a game of Chess & their a--!~(:

Well, isn't that interesting.  Zero moves (an abort before the first move in each game, I gather) and it's treated as a loss for you.

I wonder, maybe that's a new way the site has to penalize those who abort excessively?  Since, so far as I know and certainly for myself, infrequent aborters are not encountering this behaviour by the site.

ps.  Now, if you'd exercised some slight patience and waited them out (15-20 seconds I believe) I'm pretty sure the way things work now, the server would have aborted the games for you, they'd of lost brownie points in the Fair Play system (which could lead to their account being crippled), and you'd remain untainted.   [This has happened perhaps a dozen times in the past couple of days with my games and opponents who did not move.]

that's only because you have a really high abort/disconnect score. we're working on finding the right consequences for those who abort/disconnect frequently. thanks for your input.
