Quitting a team
When a player quits a team, it can be quite worrisome. That player may have many team games left and may not have the proper motivation to properly finish those games. It might be important for a team captain to know if a player has a propensity to quit teams. Does anyone know what is the record number of teams a player has quit?

I have reported a number of players to gk admin for deliberately timing out in team games and for resigning in equal or winning positions and thus far they have refuse to do anything - I conclude then that apparently it is ok to behave this way, even though the rules state otherwise.

GK's standard is very high. They must be 100% sure. I think this means they must see the person doing it for many games before they convict.

Yes, that's what he did to me. It's also why I don't report, after what you just mentioned chilliman because if you make a report and GK doesn't view as serious, action would be taken against you.

'GK's standard is very high. They must be 100% sure. I think this means they must see the person doing it for many games before they convict.'

I had a list of over fifty simultaneous games resigned by player which they rebutted. I think the percentage for being sure is more like 10000000000000000% give or take a few zeroes...

I agree. I only managed to secure 1 conviction out of so many reports.

Inteeresting what you say about glennobrien
Just checked him out and he has set out 4 standards to be achieved regarding t/os including playersa must have less than 23% t/os - I am guessing that was set as twice his own average for his safety? LOL
