dont disconnect on purpose warning
Sort:
So I lose quite a few games because net goes off (even tho it seems I still have 3g on mobile). I mean okay it sux that I lose like 10-50% of my games that way.
then today when I start games the app or chess com keeps pestering me with warnings that I may get suspended if I DC on purpose? I mean wtf I get problems then I get freaking scolded by your app or smth??
very annoying.
sorry but I needed to vent. just vent.
a constructive criticism tho. if u count disconnects and it alerts... what about checking what game status they occurred?
sorry I was trying to post this in help section. then I couldn't see it there so I clicked posy again. can u guys move it and delete the extra topic?
If your connection is so bad, why are you still trying to play?
I am playing from phone in the middle of Budapest (capital city). its not supposed to be bad at all. in fact I do seem to have some 3g still. happens when commuting home and sometimes on the same spots. weird thing is lately it just can't get back on regardless... usually 1 min should be more than enough for that? not sure its just on my side...
No need to call him an idiot.
But it doesn't really matter if it's "not supposed to be bad at all". Obviously, it's bad. You're causing a lot of annoyance to players who are able to keep a good connection. I was under the impression that it would count as a loss if you disconnected from a game (and weren't able to reconnect in time), so then it wouldn't matter if someone was doing it intentionally. That must not be the case. Just be a decent human being. Don't play live games if your connection is unstable. Why don't you try some correspondence games?
it does auto forfeit the game and counts it as a loss for me. as for the guy calling me an idiot: chess.com can fix the reconnects issues I guess if nor the disconnects. BTW I play ten minutes games. losing half a minute to net slowdown would be bearable.
correspondance games is the helpful advise we would give you csarmi from budapest.
chess.com has a valid reason to want to discourage people from playing on such shaky connections that most games are abandoned. since all the games would be considered lost, you sir, are surely alot stronger 1695.
1695? and you lose 20-50% of your games.
wow! thats pretty awesome!! Not idiotic, at all.
you should be an expert correspondance player. you'd make a team happy- espacially if you log on regularly (to play your moves)...
please understand, if you play "Online" chess, you have 1-3-or 14 days to make a move. you won't be kicked out of a game...

Someone had to say it
So let someone else say it. I've spent a good portion of my life with that attitude and still struggle with it. You don't really want to always be "that guy" do you, that everyone avoids because he's rude and negative for the sake of "telling it like it is"? Be the best version of yourself. It will blow your mind how much positivity can change your life.
