LegoPirateSenior I don't know I like the idea of the site being so friendly to players with MASSIVE numbers of games.
I once had 100+ games; I played moves at least once or twice a day. It became a chore, but thankfully it ended (reduced to <50 games) pretty quickly.
okay, Kacper, in the last many days ... :-) I had been impressed when I saw that during the last couple of days, you managed to finish about 50 games per day or so :-)
You mean the highest? Around 1300, but I don't know exactly because it was changing too quickly, too many people resigning and timting out...

He's a deadbeat and has nothing better to do besides imitate Paul Keres. ;-)
Great idea!

Why don't you like the idea? Too easy to get addicted?

I don't like the idea because I think that the site should be spending time on adding features useful for everybody, not features which are only useful for a small subset of users.

Good reason. I see your point.

I imagine this proposed change will benefit virtually EVERYONE on the site:
1. the small group of members who get worked up about it
2. the slightly larger group who are not that bothered - but who nevertheless appreciate when childish behaviour (stalling) is curtailed
3. the even larger group who find 'vacation abuse' discussions/whining distasteful
4. the tiny group who either deliberately stall - or have an unsupportable number of games

It would be nice if group #3 ended up happy, but I suspect the amount of whining will not decrease but instead just shift focus. Whiners can't help it-- if they don't whine about something their heads eventually explode and then someone has to clean up all that whine goo.

Some people like to whine about whining. 
In a hands-across-the-water gesture, I whine about whinging.

For the most part I get a real kick out of reading the childish tantrums of the people who get so wrung out because others don't behave exactly as they demand. If I didn't, I wouldn't read that type of thread!
What's your target value?
