New Fair Play Restrictions

I don't need to do research. I need you to tell me what you could possibly be doing that is both not unsportsmanlike and involves either a high percentage of aborted games, a high percentage of disconnected games, or frequent occurance of letting your clock time out while you don't move. Please. Enlighten me. What could you possibly be doing that results in any of the above and can have any possible explanation other than blatant unsportsmanlike conduct?

That would be true if the fair play policy was applied...fairly. 

Many of the concerns I see expressed in this thread have nothing to do with fair play, only the implementation.


There's no way it cannot be applied fairly. If you are letting time run off your clock for any reason other than thinking to make your move, then you are clearly in violation of both the spirit and letter of any 'fair play' policy. If you are not letting time run off your clock for reasons other than thinking about your move, you will not be in violation of the spirit or letter of said policy.


No doubt I got flagged several times last week in live chess. 

In two different pairings, my opponent refused to make their first move for several minutes so I aborted. 

You don't get flagged as you weren't the one who stalled.

Since I didn't receive any sort of pop up notification from the server that I'd been reported to the chess police it remains to be seen if I was actually penalized but if I was, that'd be just plain garbage.

Your account hasn't been flagged at all


Sorry IMDeviate, I thought I was doing a quote and edited Frown

You can do the research and learn, or you can remain ignorant.

Your choice.

I'm not going to do it for you. That would be cheating (read the rules-no outside assistance).


You're repeatedly yelling and screaming as loud as you possibly can how unfair these rules are and how you've been flagged for being the most perfect person ever, while refusing to give details or explanations.

I've asked you numerous times to explain your specific situation, since the rules are as explicit and cut-and-dry as they can possibly be.

I wonder which one of us is truly being ignorant here.

SensFan, that was my fault sorry (post 54). He did give details. I was trying to quote his post, i thought my browser was messing up as the quote in the text area didn't look right. It wasn't till i submitted my response i realised i'd edited his post Frown
