Board Game Arena

anyone interested into making a group where only low reputation players can join? so there will be no more frustration of people declining to start the game, not being able to speak, etc. including the benefit of quitting the games whenever we want

Wouldnt it be easier and more pleasant for everyone to just play friendly games, which are designed for that pretty much?

Otherwise, sounds like a group where mods just could go through and permaban everyone, for the good of the whole community.

Sounds like a smoking room in the airport

So a player that refuses to finishes games is outwardly trying to find similar players in order to start games together....

It's like a group of demolition experts all trying to build a house.

You're going to have to explain the logic. Is it simply trying to waste your own time in elaborate, structured and boring ways?

Honestly, it makes sense that people who want to play like that should play together.

I'd be curious to see if it holds up, or if these sorts of players don't actually want to play with people like themselves.

I think we are all being trolled.. if they make one of those groups. Should have a red dot next to name to let others know. Highly avoid.

This account has been doing this for some time now

This thread is actually funny. It’s amazing that this person can openly admit to creating a toxic environment on bga and nothing happens.

I've played boardgames with a guy who liked to 'call' the result when he wasn't doing well,and someone else was clearly winning. You definitely lose something by not finishing games - they're just not as much fun anymore. I don't generally block/filter players with low reputation when hosting games,to give them a chance to repair it. I won't skip players' turns.
