unpause please
fun game-3 got paused due to the banning of a member, and now 1 player who only has 1 SC left has still not unpaused, several days later. The player who was banned has already been eliminated from our game, so there is no rational reason for the pause, so can something be done about this?

Cfoss game threat
Just received this message from a Icthys who is playing Turkey in two games("The last patrol" and "Five Dollar Milkshake") I'm in. I asked why he moved against me in one and he replied:
"It is a waste. This is bargaining chip. Back-off me in the other game or I'll eliminate you from this one."
What do I do to get him removed?

Now the user in question will go CD, waste everyone's time, and create a new account. You can't really punish people online unless you ban their IP. Banning usernames is vanity.

agreed Chrisp. then please stop threatening us with bans

ag7433: You can't ban IPs either. Shared IPs at corporations and public networks are the norm. You could wind up banning a public library or an entire school.

alamothe, the threat alone is quite effective. Surely as a Diplomacy player you know this better than most. =)

ag7433, you would think so, and I was afraid of that, but we've really only had one recurring offender so far, and hopefully he won't tarnish this site with his presence any further after I posted his most relevant personal information to prove that anonymity is no excuse for being a douche.

In fairness, we've had some more who're just as bad but they all reformed (some took longer than others!)
Hmm, the user is question has gone into CD in his games, but he wasn't banned, correct?
alamothe (3367 D(B))
18 Mar 09 UTC
metagaming cannot be a reason for a ban Crisp. i think mods should pay more attention to multiaccounting, which happens here everyday and you frequently do nothing about it instead of coming up with new offenses
alamothe (3367 D(B))
18 Mar 09 UTC
...when a multiaccounting post comes along, mods usually reply with "please don't make accusations on the forum". but when a user complains about a situation he views as metagaming in a running game, you consider it a ground for banning! how ironic
alamothe (3367 D(B))
18 Mar 09 UTC
@DJ it appears he was banned
Mods don't say 'dont make accusations in the forum'. THey say 'don't make it in the first post'. This prevents the 'guilty until proven innocent' problems when people just skim messages.

You really are prickish at times alamothe.
The Mods do the best they can with the tools they have. Apparently you are pissed because they banned the wrong people and didn't ban the right people. There's no formula that will satisfy everyone. If you don't like it, there are dozens of other Diplomacy sites, and surely one of them must deal with these issues in a way you see fit.

alamothe - "multiaccounting, which happens here everyday and you frequently do nothing about it"

really? any evidence/threads you can point out to prove this?
i think they do a pretty good job of weeding out multis providing players who are suspects are pointed out by others(in the thread reply not in the thread title or 1st post as correctly pointed out by dingle)

still its good to see you have branched out from your "ban multiaccounters" mantra

Game can be found at http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=9013
England's got 6 SC's, and could have had 7 or 8 if he hadn't cd'd this autumn. He has 5 armies right now because the poor chap cd'd right through the building phase as well :D
It's spring 1904 in this wonderful game, please come and fill in.

A bit frustrating...
It seems I always do worse in games where I make an attempt to have actual communication and send messages with some meat in them. It's starting to look like other players only really respond to sound bites, and one or two sentence messages. Any thoughts?
