Unfair expulsion after service outage

Post by mmunbar065 »

During a game I was expelled by my opponent while the platform was experiencing a service breakdown. The outage caused me to lose time on my clock. When the game resumed, I was already out of time and my opponent expelled me immediately.

What makes this worse is that before the outage, my opponent had already run out of time. I had plenty of time left and chose not to expel him, waiting patiently instead. After the service breakdown, the situation reversed due to the clock issue, and he expelled me without hesitation.

I did not abandon the game. The timeout was caused by the platform issue, not by inactivity or stalling. Expelling a player under these circumstances feels unfair and contrary to good sportsmanship.
I already reported that user but i want to know if BGA will cancel those results caused by the issue.

It looks like they adjusted your elo and cancel your penalty
