Moderators: Multi Hunters, Cheating/Abuse Team
the problem is, if you address this issue, than you have to address all the players using the same IP playing team games.yorkiepeter wrote:how long is this gonna be pending for? it devalues the entire ranking system
Get rid of freestyle for at least the team games and you're half way there.JOHNNYROCKET24 wrote:the problem is, if you address this issue, than you have to address all the players using the same IP playing team games.yorkiepeter wrote:how long is this gonna be pending for? it devalues the entire ranking system
you know all those players claming to be "family members" using the same computer or dormates.
so if you would block all these members from playing with each other, than they get pissed off and leave the site which is bad for business.
so you have to determine which is better overall. Players being permitted to play together with the same IP or players being forced to play against them. Either way, 1 side is not satisfied. And I use the word force because they always join as the 2nd team.
Im sure if a 2nd account was set up on my IP it would be blocked immediately.
Sorry, I didn't realize this was still floating around as pending.yorkiepeter wrote:how long is this gonna be pending for? it devalues the entire ranking system

yes it would, it is ok to account-sit, but not when it is not neccessary. although if you are playing sequential doubles it is not being abused in the way that these guys were abusing it in freestyle triples.dcc1220 wrote:Wow. I have never really read threads like this before, but have a question.
Is this only an issue because they play freestyle games. My wife and I play sequential doubles games together now and then and to speed the game up I will take her turn for her some evenings after she has gone to bed even though she could take the turn herself the next morning. Would this be frowned upon?
