Not intentional, but upon reflection I can see how you could get there.

@kenpo: depends on the context in which they ask for my attention :)
okay, how's this for context?
Context: player x is whining because five for fighting isn't accepting his challenge. player x wishes five for fighting would do so, but has no means to force them to do so. player x decides to open a thread to encourage a boycott of five for fighting until his challenge is accepted.
there are two possible outcomes.
1. an admin from five for fighting says "wow, this player x is a jerk. no challenge for him!"
2. no admin from five for fighting ever sees this thread.
"playing the system" is not corruption. besides, if teams thought they were being taken advantage of, they just...wouldn't play? and where'd the "psychopathy" idea come from?
You're missing the point.
It's called 'hypocrisy'. Many groups that I'm in seem to receive several challenges daily from Five for Fighting, some of which I accept, others I decline (I prefer not to start too many TM's in a group at once). However, the challenges that my teams send to Five for Fighting are declined, or else no response is received for weeks; this has happened to me regularly, and I eventually have to withdraw the challenges.
A friend of mine sent the group five or six challenges, set to specific rating categories, and in doing so, our group was unable to send any further challenges until they were accepted or withdrawn (due to limits in number of pending challenges at once). The result? For weeks, our group couldn't start new matches, since the challenges were simply left to sit.
My point of all this is, why not stop sending tens of challenges to other groups, and start accepting the waiting challenges?
It seems like a little bit of a double standard to me...
Hmmm!
Ok here we may have a case of the surgery was a success but the patient died!
Ok they change their method and boycott playing team that kgwkyle is the Admin. And they are not the only team on this site to play. If you do not like the conditions just do not accept. I have did it several times with out a second thought.
Is this recent?...... I never had a problem with them accepting my challenges and in a large bulk. By that i challenge them with several teams at the same time.
boycott them...

they're under no obligation to play anyone. If this happened with, say, a person instead of a team, would you say the same thing? "This person won't accept my challenges, but they're sending out challenges, so I'm going to ask everyone not to play them!" do you realize how stupid this sounds?
I'd say it's something more like "This person sends me and 25 other people a challenge every day, why doesn't he just make everyone's life easier and accept the challenges that we've already sent him?"
I am Admin of several teams and have seen none of this action!
So in other words they think your team is an EASY MARK .... Beat them and they move on. Or send them a counter challenge which they will refuse according to your line of thinking you presented here. In which case makes them chicken. Problem solved. Then post in the group notes you sent them a challenge and they refused. In which case it will raise the spirits of your team that a top team on the Team Match leader has refused to play your team.
Take the LEMONS AND MAKE LEMONADE! LOL
Boycott is the Only answer...

No offense intended, but you make no sense whatsoever. For one thing, our teams have beaten them several times, and they've beaten us several times also. The problem isn't the refusal of challenges, instead we have no response. They neither accept nor refuse.
And no, it won't 'Raise the spirits' of a team to hear that you sent a challenge and it got refused.
Beat them on the board is the only anwser as a Player!
Create Team Matches in your favor is the only way as an Admin!
I had this problem when i first became an Admin and it works. Sooner or later the players will want to play or leave. The SA of the group will to keep the group active. They will have to take your challenges later, trust me it will be later when they take them on your terms as they will not to appear weak to other teams that can beat them in Team Matches. Else those teams will come for them when they need a WIN in Team Matches and create them in bulk! Nothing worse than the team you try to punk(your team) reverses the situation and word gets out.
The key then is to beat them ...... dominate them on the board. RESPECT! Then thank them for the game! By this they will know they were wrong.
Boycott Them Now !
before it is too late !
Well if they have not responded ....... NO PROBLEM!
Well in the case on Five for Fighting ..... have to agree. Not much of a real challenge. And you beaten them several times...... Not trying to be funny but move on. After beating them a couple times as an Admin i had to move my team to real challenge or fresh face. Playing them too many times will make your team look bad...... hope that not the only team your group can beat consistantly.
NO RESPONSE..... simple contact the SA of the group. Refusal yes they did in a passive way by not responding. And if a few players on your team do not get excited when a team dodges your team after being sent a couple of challenges then you have a bigger problem. I have to calm my members down before they might start to take trash talking too far.
boycott..
After further review am starting to get your point. I went to the teams home page.............. and when i tried to contact the SA Black_Knight. A player has to be his friend to conact him. Also now way of leaving a note on their home page. Same for forums.
boycott the little girlish group...
you're a creepy human being. I'm reporting you for harassment.
