I notice that when I sign up for the 2/1 bullet tournament for over 1500 when there are not enough players I get transferred to the open 2/1 bullet tournament.   The problem is I get a zero point bye after I'm transferred.

So now I won't sign up for the over 1500 tournament which I prefer.

Anyone visiting this thread have an answer ?

DrSpudnik

Sure, what's the question?

badenwurtca

Ah yes that is the question. What is the question ? It seems that the question is what is the question. Then again why don't we know what the question is. Yes that is what might be as to what the question is  etc etc.

DrSpudnik

I don't think I'm getting a straight answer here.

One odd thing that I have noticed with V3 is in regards to trying to unfollow locked threads. That is to say if I had been following a thread before it was locked then I must follow that thread forever and a day after it gets locked ( kinda creepy  lol ).

Yes I do hope that they will adjust things in the future as there are several locked threads that I would like to dump. Btw it also the same problem with threads where I'm blocked as well.

We are seeing more and more complaints about the auto-bots running amok and I feel that things could be improved a bit. If a auto-bot flags an account perhaps that action could be brought to the attention of a mod so that things could double-checked ? This might help to reduce the problems with the auto-bots ?  

   ---   Still the same ( RJC just got muted ).

One can assume that these auto-bots were brought in here to allow for faster monitoring but they have no sense of what might be allowed because of the circumstances. A time limit might be set up so that if anyone who has been here longer than say one year would be double-checked by a Mod before a mute occurs. Customer-service should certainly be part of any business that deals with the public. 

   ---   Yup, customer service  lol.

Maybe they'll introduce a survey for muted people. 

"Would you like to take a quick 30 second survey of your experience?"

This new format they've brought in is terrible.  They've dis-improved the site.  For example you can't view the standings after a tournament. 

They should go back to the old format.  There was nothing wrong with it.

Hi, often I have a problem during a game when moving pawn 2 spaces to C4. The move will show correctly on my screen but then when my opponent takes the next move, it is clear that the move only registered as pawn to C3 i.e. single space. I have lost so many games because of this problem. Is there a solution?

Thanks for the posts.

   ---   You might need to open a new thread for that kind of a problem.

That's a checkers move that some people think they can use in chess. The only solution is to ask in a checkers forum. It's a pawn jumping move that only checker players use.

Thanks for the info.
