Recently Ive put my input into what I think would help this site both players and BGA Administrators. Im not trying to offend anybody period.I just believe we could make it easier on all if we started all over .I don't like ELO and i don't like Reputation it is all subject to opinions
If we don't like playing with a player don't play with him.ELO NO MATTER HOW ITS CONFIGURED SOME WILL NOT BE HAPPY. get rid of it. .Please keep it simple WINS VERSUS lOSSES. Please don't erase this id like others to read and get there opinions .Again I appreciate all of BGA hard work.

It's a bit hard to get what you mean, but let's try.
I don't like ELO and i don't like Reputation it is all subject to opinions
So you can play and set tables without these restrictions, without checking peoples elo or reputation.
If we don't like playing with a player don't play with him.
Well, yes. Anyone forces others to play with people they don't want to play?
ELO NO MATTER HOW ITS CONFIGURED SOME WILL NOT BE HAPPY. get rid of it.
And some will be unhappy about not having it.
"wow, despite number of games played, this guy is total beginner, and I just started long game with him... what a waste of time" etc
keep it simple WINS VERSUS lOSSES
Keep it simple in this case means make it unfair. Win over a master means better skills than winning over a beginner. Not to mention games which win vs losses are uneasy to understand. How you count win vs losses in Hanabi - coop game? By points? But again, having 30 with a masters is easier than 30 with beginners, and ELO shows that factor (including also number of players, as it influences the game heavily). And - not like in number of games that is included in win vs losses - tells a bit about skills.
