Skip Turn Button in Tournaments

[TANGO 13]

I think it is time that BGA did away with the Skip Turn Button in tournaments, this button causes nothing but problems.

When a player runs out of time the game should end.

I am playing in this tournament and received the following message from player **** via Chat with the participants
"Warning the Admin kicked me in His Game against me because i Had 7 Minuten Overtime! This strategy of kicking IS also a way to win".

I think it is absolutely disgusting that player **** was trying publicly to shame the player that kicked him out, when player **** was at fault.
****

Furthermore, when I responded to what had been written, player **** gave me a RED THUMB.

You're right: IT IS your right to kick me when my time Runs out. So i have the right to say that i dont want to Play With Players Like you WHO use this kick option to win in step-by-step tournaments, Especially people WHO Kicks without speaking With the Gamers. Sorry, playing should make fun for everyone !

I am glad that the tournament creator Skipped your turn ****, you had only played 15% of the game and your CLOCK was in the RED.

There are players on here that have other things to do than sit and wait for you to play when you feel like it.

Furthermore, I prefer to play with players that get on with a game, rather than have to wait for hours before each turn, so you will be of no significant loss.

Obviously everyone is responsible to see the rules and follow them, but 6 hours for a correspondence game is a joke.

[TANGO 13]

Everything is in black and white.

If you haven't the time to play, then don't join a tournament. It is NOT MANDATORY.

[Tulivuori]

I didn't say otherwise. But it's so easy to forget to check it or just missthink how short it actually is. 6 hours for correspondence is simply for nolifers to get easy wins by time.

[TANGO 13]

The majority of players who play 6 hour tournaments do not have an issue with time.

I don't see how a 6 hour tournament is an easy win and I should know as I play in 4 different ones everyday.
