I appreciate your thoughts. I'm just concerned that if it were an important game to the other player that they understand that I'm not out to get them. That we're all not out to get them. We're simply trying to participate in this community and should feel free to do so. i like to read these forums while waiting for my opponents to make their moves and I don't want to fear the consequences of posting my thoughts; even if the consequences are merely being called a cheater by more respected members of this community. Maybe the forum rules concerning these matters should be more clear.

I don't think many of you actually read the OP of the OT's post. It was clearly not a puzzle from the name of the thread to the question raised in the post.
From the initial post it seemed that this game was still clogging his games in progress section. In the exact same way a post complaining about people not resigning when they should implies that they are currently stuck in such a game.
Of course I understand that not everyone would read the post that way. Infact I doubt most people even read all the words. That doesn't matter. This issue raises a potential gray area in the rules of this site.
The rule that says no giving advice for a game still in progress is a good one.
A rule stating posters having to state whether the game they are talking about is still in progress or not - would also be a good rule.
End of the day none of this really matters. The whole post was a waste of time, if the position is clear then it hardly seems taxing to play it out or set up conditional moves to play the game out for you. If it is too complicated for conditional moves then I would say their is either a flaw in the way conditional moves are done or the position is not clear enough for your opponent to choose to keep playing.
