proposal for a rule change

I suggest that the rule for aborting games be modified so that that's allowed ONLY when players take an inordinant time to tart play.

What that time length might be I suggest may be open for debate however I think that should be the only reason allowed.

There's really no legitimate reason otherwise for games to be aborted.

All the other reasons I can think of have alternative controls.

[1] Think the player to whom you're matched is too good ?

Control that with the selection of the rating range.

[2] Think the player to whom you're matched is too poor ?

Similarly the rating range is controlable...although here the point is not so legitimate, since...

(a) ...if they're so bad, you can pick up an easy win, right ?

(b)...the very way players improve is in contests with better players, so you're acting as an impediment by refusing to play "lesser" opponents.

I can't think of other reasons for aborting games but perhaps that will come up as a response.

In any case, I find that he time spent waiting for someone to decide whether to play, combined with the annoyance of someone arbitrarily cancelling a game is something that GHOSTMIRROR nor anyone else really should have "up to  which put" [].

BALLS IN YER COURT, JUSTICES !
