Finally, some good suggestions. I like everything you have proposed plus having a clan only rating.🙂

i'm in favor of a 'clan rating' as well, i think we need to add it to the list

yes I am all for it. I expect your rating to rise from 1700 to 1900

Nice to see we are on the same page.
Except for the cheap shot. 😀

You missed my point.
My question was ....
Why switch to ELO rating system when we already have a formula ?

I fully support decouple of clan rating from tournament rating.

I think we're saying the same thing. I don't like ELO and agree that the existing formula for just clan games solves the problem.

Sandbaggers use multiple games to resign on to lower their rating
If my proposal was taken up they could no longer do this to reduce their rating
Doing away with the need for different ratings
If it keeps ratings a little higher so what
I am sure most people would like to keep a respectable rating

I am tempted to make a sheep joke but that will be off topic
Still have to close the collusion loophole no system will do that only points removal and clan suspensions will cure the site cancer

Again in my proposal you cannot play the same clan for 90 days this would have cut Robbies points total by almost 450
But I agree there should be some sort of redress for what went on last year

No. He means where you resign a game before you can checkmate your opponent on the next move. 😲

Show me

When does the talking stop, and the changes start to happen. I think everything that can be said, has been said now. Time for action.

No I am on about the one where he had a Bishop 2 pawns and a King against a King and he resigned
