Board Game Arena

Even searching the forums was hard because words like arena time and others are too common and some searches get rejected because of that :? Then if it’s just matching with anything with the word arena it’s hard to get it to throw up something similar. Thanks for linking the suggestion. Someone else...

I know on a per game basis, by clicking the setting button on a game on the play page, you can change settings for what time control you’re happy to match with. I’m never okay with this, reluctant with this, etc Is there a way to change that default for all games at once? Like I only want to match f...

you'd think it should just discount the game. Isn't it obvious to you how this can be easily exploited (as pointed out by Vandaley, just prolong the games you don't win)?
