Board Game Arena

Hi,

I am looking for the right way of contacting a moderator. I was in a game which had some serious anomalies not described in the multiple-choice section *how to contact us* or *reporting players*. For reasons of privacy, I cannot discuss them openly in a forum.

Best regards,

“Anomalies” is a curious choice of term. That’s a word I would usually use to describe glitches or bugs, and would recommend acting accordingly. I am curious if you can say more as to why a moderator is the way you want to go. That, to me, suggests invective or verbal abuse… which again, are not exactly anomalies.

If you can provide any more details without … violating privacy? On a site where anybody can spectate any game? Anyway, if you can say more it would probably be useful to helping you.

Hi,

I am not a native English speaker, so maybe anomalies is not fully correct. I am looking for a general word to describe issues without going into details. I would of course, go into details when I speak to a moderator. The issues are not bug related.

If you have a moderating position, let me know and I will PM you. If you are just a happy player on the site, like I am, we may have the pleasure of meeting in a game.

merci

Hey mods , 7Wd keeps starting without me. I can't talk to people now and I'm paying for what ?? Fix this please or I will cancel my member ship. If I start a game and get a call or my kid falls and I have to get them , that's on me but you keep letting people start games when I'm out and when I come back now I have bad rep.

Did you forget we can actually see your games? You’ve had plenty of abandoned tables in the last two weeks, but not a single one fits the pattern you describe here. Instead what I see are a bunch of instances where you apparently wander away mid-game. I don’t see any indications of you timing out at the start, like you would expect from your description. So, like you say, it’s on you.

Oh yeah, and I don’t know why you think moderators, whose job is to moderate, are of any use here. The other players aren’t doing anything wrong; there’s nothing to moderate.
