Just one game ...

Hello,
the most players (which have a higher score) play just one game.

There is no chance for rematch.

Where is the justice?

it would be better that there MUST be a REMATCH. otherwise the user score will be lower.

If all games beforehand had to forcibly allow a rematch, I doubt higher rated people would even agree to play in the first place. There is a chance for rematch, but the user may or may not accept it. Justice has hardly anything to do with the matter.

Max_Bax, I think you are confusing good manners with good site policy.  This is especially odd, considering that your original post title used profanity!  But anyway, consider what you are proposing -- it would often be illegal to only play one game if everyone had to offer a rematch.  There's nothing unfair about the current policy, because you are equally free to log off the site (or play someone else) after winning (or losing) the first game too.  I understand that there are "hit-and-run" artists with crazy/unorthodox openings who win a bullet game and won't accept (or make)rematch offers (thereby denying you the opportunity to switch colors and make them face your openings), but I don't see how requiring a second game between players creates any more justice.  If I have 10 minutes to spare before leaving for work, I can play a blitz game at G/5'+0" each.  If I happen to be higher-rated and I also win the game, should I be forced to play another game?  The same goes for longer time controls:  if I have 1 hour to spare, why can't I just play a single game at G/30'+0"?  If all you are saying is that it would be better sportsmanship or better manners for ALL players to allow a rematch, then I would agree with you.  But the site rules should apply to enforcement of minimum acceptable behavior standards; it seems this rematch requirement goes beyond a minimum degree of sportsmanship.

In the last 7 days i have played very mutch games. if i played against players with a higher rating and i won the first game, there was NO rematch. if i lost the fist game, there was a rematch. the same procedure with EVERY user which have a higher rating!!!!
if i played against users with a lower rating, there was ALWAYS a rematch!
--> Only the high-rating-users have this fucking behavour!!!!

fyi: i have been playing only 1-minute-games!

Max_Bax, you are just repeating yourself now.  I understand what is happening to you, and I would even agree that this habit demonstrated by your opponents falls short of the best standards of sportsmanship.  But I still disagree with your solution, i.e. to require a rematch.  You haven't answered why it's unreasonable for someone to just want to play a single game.  Why should they be required to offer a rematch?  Sometimes requiring one (good) thing means making things much worse in another area, in this case the rematch requirement.
