Punished for Aborting Games with legit reasons

...
Changing your settings should have nothing to do with your own system that pairs a 1400 against a 700 and where the points I'd gain for winning is ZERO. Should be paired against similar rated opponents
I think this may change but the pairing system is looking to find you compatible pairing quickly. So that can include pairings like that. So, the site has a method to allow members to limit that disparity, if they want. So until/unless it gets changed, your best bet is to modify settings.

You are supposed to wait 10 seconds for the auto-abort. Then they won't ban or punish you. I don't know why that is.
If you do that too often you're also restricted and any games that start rated will be rated, regardless.

Oh thanks for that, but generally people only do it out of necessity, like the telephone rings before you moved a piece so you may as well answer it. So it will probably take a quite a lot to attract the ire of the electronic mechanism.


I received this dumb message by this stupid child from India, who then pressed the block button, because that's how children act
Dharshanakarthick I will report you for being rude to a forum
what a silly big baby, go and tell the teacher and in the meantime, pick your dummy up.

^ Sorry but I have reported this because it's antisocial
My report was of a four page long message which consisted solely of the letter M, which has been removed, since I reported it twice ... once for spam and once in the category "other" so I could describe it. I was obviously not reporting the present #32.
don't talk out of your arse, you learn incrementally, you're not going to learn much by being b1tch slapped by a player several hundred points above you, that's the pairings system is there in the first place.

Isn't it good we can use our favourite word in an insult whereas if we're talking about cousins of donkeys, in a legitimate discussion about animals, we're muted. My wife's a professional psychologist and psychotherapist, who often looks at MSN news for laughs. She tells me you can't even mention you're sitting at the bottom of the stairs on MSN. In her professional capacity, she tends towards the opinion that Americans are all crazy. Electing a sane President is beyond them because the sane ones never get through the selection procedures and yet they mute each other for using normal words in the English language, which must meet definitions of insane.
And here you are, still coming back, still arguing,
