Time out rule
Thank you for accepting me into the club.

I want to expressed concern about the timeout rule. There are people on gameknot who have accepted there will always be circumstances where they Timeout but still want to play for the fun of the game. But for most people the fun of the game is in winning.

This may often result in excluding people with chronic illness and also excludes people with chronic illness who have intermittent periods of wellness where they may not Timeout, but their time out history results in automatic refusal of application to join a team for a short period,

Really appreciate being able to join your club.

That rule I think you are talking about is the somewhat recently added rule Gameknot implemented to limit cheating. If someone loses too many games in a short time, you’re banned from certain games for a time, including team games. This of course is still a problem for those who aren’t cheating, but simply timing out too much.

Welcome to the club
