Board Game Arena

A few things that might hopefully be useful to others: - I did locate the "rules" in the Terms of Service, subsection Terms of Use - I also located the FAQ just above in the forum header - Both indicate to me that this behavior is against the spirit of the site - Given the response I recei...

I'm pretty sure RobertBr meant "abusive" as in insulting or threatening in the chat, not as in using the option when it's not "fair". That's possible. I see no apparently necessary "about it" qualification in that case, though, as insults and threats are issues unto th...

As with many other posters you came here wishing to have your own incorrect position validated. No, I didn't. It was a sincere question regarding a subject about which I was uncertain of correctness.

It's hidden trackable information. Players can re/gain the information by plowing through the game log, so the only apparent function of "hiding" it seems to be the inconveniencing of both players. If someone doesn't for the sake of play speed politeness, an opponent who does is at an adva...

I thought the only restrictions for non-premium members was that they couldn't open a table. They can join ANY table, just not be the creator of the table. Am I wrong? That's my understanding too. But the thing is, I'm currently the only one that plays games with anyone *other* than family members....
