I would vote, but I can´t!

BGA blocked all ../bugs to all that use custom CSS. Maybe we should solve this first...

Why not? We, for the human being, have tried to reach pinnacle. The suggested one totally makes sense to me and seems that many players agree :)

Just disable it, upvote and turn it on again.

I am aware of that... thanks!

But:

cut -> save -> vote -> paste -> save

Is not as simple as 1 click!

I made a video about this topic, maybe it'll be clearer to make a point like that:

I am really against this idea. There is a big problem with players being able to use their peak rating in that it enables shenanigans for those high rated players in trying to take down other high rated players. This is obviously not an issue for 2 player games, but for 4 player games such as Terra Mystica, it is possible for one player to spend their game essentially taking down someone else. This could lead to the current arena leader being happy with their peak rating and just keep queuing and starting to bomb games when playing against other top opponents to slow them down and try to cause them to take 3rd and 4th places to lower their rating. Sure the player bombing the game will suffer a lot too, but if their peak rating is higher and they're okay just parking it, it just gets too weird.

To be fair, part of the point of arena is that the ratings reset every 3 months anyhow....if someone is parking, it's not like they haven't been playing fairly recently.

This feels like imaginary problem. You can just red thumb them and never play against them again. I also really fail to see how people can keep all the other good players from advancing by bombing them in the game.
