And precisely what is that? I cannot see a corresponding punishment specified in the rules. 

As I wrote earlier, I wouldn't be the one deciding and implementing a course of action. user1 can correct rating points. He can also implement other courses of action, as necessary. It depends on whether the user chooses to comply with the rules or requires an escalation in moderation response. That's up to cronelius. or whichever Ramirez brother controls all the duplicate accounts that have allegedly been involved in ratings abuses.

It's not "my" rules. The rules were debated and carefully chosen many years before I was even active with Wildfire Games. And, there are many good and logical reasons for the rules. It's "our" rules, and it's a good thing that we have them. Otherwise it would be chaos and many good users would be driven away.

@user1 Hi, I dont want to report player, because I want to believe this is not intentational. Nevertheless there is two different ratings. I was expecting low level newbie and tried to be nice, and faced regular. Furthermore seems like obvious smurf.

@StockfishPlease attach the replay file (commands.txt) from the game to your post.

You did redact the player's name, but there seems to be enough information combined with screenshots that I've taken in the past to determine the player's name. Don't worry, he's not reported for purposes of any rating adjustment. But, it's still useful to inform the player base about the player's behavior.

It looks like the player is tonyfurg. He is probably using the customRating mod to make his rating appear to be 1176, as I see in past screenshots. But, his official rating is 1397 after that rated match was completed. Of course, a player's true skill level is rather subjective, and it depends on the skill level of the opponent. If you post the replay then players can get more of an accurate gauge of the player's skill.

Also, unless your opponent is familiar to you, I advise that you always ask your opponent to tell you an actual skill level. Don't assume that your opponent's rating is accurate. That way, if they lie then you can call them on it. If you don't ask then they can just say, "Oh, you shouldn't have assumed that my rating was accurate. It's your fault for not asking."

Yes. I had a keyboard issue and rejoined just a few seconds after the beginning. That was probably the issue with the recording. Anyway after that the game proceeded normally until I destroyed his CC, he said something like 'Incredible how did I @#$%ed up this game' and seconds later he shut down the server.

Is the chat saved anywhere?

Hello!

I never played online (only on our home network), so am very likely not entitled to suggest something here, but maybe you allow me nevertheless.

How about offering players to star well-behaving other players? Those with a good reputation would be preferred gaming partners and others could be simply ignored.

Again, please accept my sincere apologies if I wrote nonsense here.

It's some kind of complex, or ego I guess. 

We as community should, for begin, talk about importance of well behaving. I hope people understand that it's common sense but also will attract new players which is good for all of us. We should be friendly and help people to improve. I suggested also to open Academy sub-forum. But....  

You can start Topic somewhere in Forum, anyways. THis is off topic here.

P.S.

Come and play us online! There are players that you can play with.

Offender: Raffut1969.

Reason: Lost everything and leaved rated match without resign. 

I hate him - this was first game I won in 2 days. 

(Alaric Pularic said he did same to him btw)

@BeTeThis is the wrong thread for posting reports of ratings offences. This thread is where completed requests and off-topic discussions are moved.

You should delete the post from this thread and instead post it in the correct thread for reporting offences.

Edit: corrected the link.

Huh, sorry.

You linked wrong thread but I found on my own: https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/67875-ratings-disputes-and-offence-reporting/page/8/#comments

(I don't find option to remove the previous message)

@BeTeSorry I linked to the wrong thread at first. Good job finding the correct one. I've corrected the link in my post as well.

The reason that it's important to post these reports in the right thread is so that user1 can find them and process them. This Discussion thread is basically the graveyard for already-processed reports.

Only admins can delete posts apparently, so nevermind.
