Topic: New system against quitting + higher maximum number of games
Posted: 2016-Feb-07 18:45
Dear all,

One of the biggest frustrations for most of you, are quitters and the resulting spoiled games, possibly even being aborted. We have heard the call to do something about this and realized the reporting system just doesn’t work well enough for this. It is relatively slow, people could still get several kicks before getting into real trouble and gave us a lot of work. Also, because people could directly join 20 games a new player could directly spoil 20 games.

For these reasons we are introducing a new system:
-  Every player starts with a maximum of 10 joinable games.
-  For each game you finish, you can join one for a maximum of 35 (15 higher than currently).
-  For each kick you lose 5 joinable games (with a minimum of two games)

Also, if you get kicked now you will directly get an automated sanction:
-  1st kick: removing join rights for 12 hours
-  2nd kick: removal of join rights for 2 days
-  3rd kick: removing of join rights for 1 week
-  4th kick: removing of join rights for 2 weeks
-  5th kick or later: removal of join rights for 4 weeks

We realized introducing this directly would give a lot of players instant sanctions due to current kicks, or give them the highest sanction on first kick. Because of this, it only counts new kicks you get starting today. Your profile will still show the total amount of kicks.

Note: due to this system, we also do not take in reports for quitting anymore. This system automatically deals with these. Only very grave quits can still be reported. Use the spoiling category for that.

You can lower your kickrate as described in this newspost:

In the spirit of transparency, you can track your user rights here:

We hope this helps improve the community further and reduce the amount of spoiled and aborted games. If you have any questions, feel free to post and ask.

Kind regards,
The THRONEMASTER.NET Staff

Really good improvement. Of course time will eventually tell if it has the desired effect, but as far as I see this should have a major impact and these are making this site better for the players.

Sometims it is really easy. Was a luck baratheon in this 6-player game that I managed to win by winning just one (!) card:

Sorry, system messed up: thought I was in the Baratheon thread

That is indeed one of the risks and issues with the system. We could not come up with a good way to handle that yet (besides that you can recover) but if you or someone else has a suggestion, please do comment.

I think the system in place is good.

And i would think the odd internet outage or true personal emergency will come up (i.e. the angry folks, relatives or screaming gf or crying baby). Although we now usually equate that to excuses which happens.

e.g. I had a game or two where i made a poor judgement to start an AGOT game on my tablet while in the bed then just passed out then i had to go apologize to everyone for a ruined game. Fortunately, mercy was granted and i did not get a kick on my record. Or really had an internet outage.

I"m guessing it appears case-by-case right now. Get on your knees and beg for mercy to the moderators so that your good name be restored

Previously, we almost never removed kicks but it was possible. You can now report a game for a kick you wish removed. This should somewhat help us track the requests.

abuse will always end up in banned accounts.

As all systems (with the exception of nature), is not perfect, but seems very pratical and fair enough. Never easy to handle this situations, we never know what happens on the other side of the screen So.. good work, congrats! Keep it up, thanks for everything guys

Just to add on to what JM said, you can report an unjustified kick under a specific category. If people abuse the system, they will all be sanctioned. Also you need to be afk from a game to be able to get kicked *and* it has to get a majority to get you out. So abuse actually is not that easy.
