Board Game Arena

I have 2 complaints with the new player rankings.

1. When the server freezes me out, I get nailed. This is the only time I have ever left a game early


2. I hafd over 2k green thumbs and am a very active and conscientious player. To be at 43℅ because of the server is a cardinal sin imho.

What say you?

Yes, I'm really surprised to see that your karma is so low. I've played with you several times before and you've always been a polite, fast player.

There's been many ongoing discussions on this forum about karma. The biggest problem I see is that it's becoming hard to distinguish between players who truly deserve bad karma and those who have it because of factors that they can't control.

opinions////opinions/opinions/opinions/opinions/opinions/opinions/opinions/opinions/oponions/ipinions, are why karma is out of control.there are no/none zero guidelines. simple if you name call/swear/or cuss leave the game or or slow then and only then will you have rules.if a player is getting a lot of red thumbs let the moderators determine if was and not a opinion.right now its automatic with a robot so many thumbs automatic deduct because of a opinion/opinion/opinion/opinion/opinion.pipe dream

The green thumb lack of inclusion is the most glaring issue in the current karma formulation - please see other posts in forums on the need for same.

we all no bga cheerleaders for a negative driven site would be disappointed if we put more importance on the positive ONLY.BGA WOULDNT BE ABLE TO BEAT PLAYERS DOWN THEN.OR DISGRIMINATE THOSE PLAYERS THAT IN BGA OPINION IS AGGRESSIVE OR INSULTING.IM NOT TRYING TO BE INSULTING I JUST STATING CURRENT FACTS ABOUT BGA KARMA SYSTEM.GREEN/////GREENER THUMB TO THOSE WHOM WANT POSITIVE CHANGES

Yeah, there's been plenty of complaints about that. I would suggest contacting Sourisdudesert privately (just go to the Official Announcements, top forum, and several of his posts are right at the top) and explain the situation. If it is felt that you are correct and you don't deserve that karma, those penalties might be taken away.

This was his explanation in another thread, how this could be taken care of, and yet everyone still just posts and complains about it. So to my mind that isn't a good solution to the problem because too many people aren't trying to contact him privately to try to deal with the situation. It's still an issue.

broken for over 2 years now ,they try to have formula that will try and I mean try to keep all happy.instead of just facts wins//losses games played and winning percentage.or what I know is the simple truth.once that is done the players can decide whom is good and whom we play against.right now its got negative /disgrimitory groups.
