I disagree. When a player quits a tournament they lose 4 karma. In order to restore the karma, they have to play 4 games without a time penalty. For real-time games, they lose 10 karma for the first quit and 20 for each additional, meaning they have to play 10 or 20 games without a time penalty to r...

This statement was unnecessarily insulting. They indicated they didn't understand your play/move and you replied that they're acting like they know everything. You could've made your point without saying this.

Fletcheese is right - you're ultimately responsible for being able to play in real time. However, stuff like this happens to all of us and no one thinks twice about a player with a karma rating in the 90% range. Just play a few quick games and you'll be back up to 100.

That definitely sounds unsportsmanlike, frustrating, and like a violation of the ToS. However, it doesn't sounds like something that can be reported. If you try to report a player for issues related to time, you receive a note telling you to red-thumb the player. You could trick them. Log off for a ...

The only way I know to tell if someone has given you a red thumb is to either invite them to play a game with you or send them a suggestion to play a game with you; you'll get a message that the person has given a red thumb to someone at the table. If Player A RTs Player B, Player B won't see the G...

It was my understanding that ‘red thumbing’ was anonymous. However, a player noticed that I’d thumbed them (they were annoying to me with constant chatter) so i wanted to avoid them) and now they are harassing me across multiple table chats. I also thought that red thumbing block their chats. Is th...

[/quote] I really like the part about not allowing ejecting if they took an action in the last 5-10 seconds. Literally just played a trade heavy game of CATAN where I suspect the last place player tried to skip someone who was leading midgame. He was never afk or slow on his turn... just the trade c...

I only play Decrypto in real time, but it has become so common that players openly chat about it amongst their team. I've had teammates copy and paste directly from a dictionary into the team chat, or write "Google says ..." I agree - a player would never do that when playing on a tabletop.

Since none of us can review the conversation between your opponents, I thought it may be helpful for you to see the penalty grid that is used by the moderators. https://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/Moderationpolicy Section 1.4 shows the consequences for behaviors. If their conversation warrants moderat...

I thought that all games on BGA had to follow the same rules as the board games, per the licensing agreements. Does Space Base have that variation on tabletop? If not, then it won't happen here on BGA.
