Ah yes, red thumbing everyone. That does the trick I suppose.

But does this work even in Arena?

Why do you think I would care to post the previous reply, if it didn't?

Red Thumbs are ignored in Tournanents, only.

No need to get angry about this. I don't know you. You may think that you have found a trick but it does not work because BGA has thought about it and removed the possibility in Arena. I have always read that you cannot choose your opponents in Arena, so it would not be shocking if you ban list was ignored in that context.

But thanks for the info. That's useful.

This happens on any game site, unfortunately. When I reported another obvious case a while ago, I was reprimanded by the moderators for using the screen names of the offenders. Don't expect much in the way of results here...

How do you report this accounts?
I get the informaton from the faq:
"The best way to prevent so-called "kingmaking" is to give out red thumbs. There is no point in reporting a player in this case: please just give the player who was involved in the unfair game a red thumbs down."
So i got noo way to react

I can't unnderstand, why BGA is ignoring this.
In the moment Arena-Mode is dead and useless.

True, is doesn't incentivise honest players, it's a race to get on top early in the first days against weak opponents and then not defend one's position.
But our appeal last season against Safita and Lexy54 worked, so let's hope it will work this time too!

Sepasch.

To report a player, go to their profile and click on "Report this player" on the left of "Message". Everyone, please feel free to do it on your end. I have only reported one player (I don't remember which one) but named the 5 of them. There may actually be more. I am not sure.

Roitelet:
Thanks for information!
I used the posibility:
"uses multiple user accounts to earn Elo points"
This was a change to the last season.

I dont understand, that these users are playing along with this account
when there where banned last time.
I think BGA has to be active on defeating those accounts.
