@contenchess saidYou know on second thought, you're starting to sound like robbie carrobie, he was always crying about the clan feature as you're doing now. Any relation there, like I mean a really close one? 🙂
Nope ðŸ¤
LOL....So would you say if you were him? 🙂 😛

@beezore saidI agree. 😉
Has there been any discussion of using something comparable to TER but for clans specifically?
To me a feature like this with some substantial rating look-back period would clean things up at least some without creating a bunch of different ratings, that most have no desire to track.
@contenchess saidIt doesn't really matter as no one will ever be happy. Do you think everyone will jump on the same page on this? It isn't going to happen.
I agree. 😉

I don't see much mileage in having another "ratings" debate.
I'm sure the admins put a lot of thought into devising the system and though it can never be perfect I think it works pretty well.
Personally,I don't take much notice of my rating although I do look at it sometimes more out of curiosity than anything else.I expect most of the players on here are similarly inclined.
It's only real relevance is a guide for clan leaders when mounting challenges

People will always find a way if they want to be dishonest. Thankfully we only have a few.

I also believe that the "imperfections" in the clan feature, which runs a lot on goodwill, brings into play some skills of the clan leaders.
Ratings for players will vary. And a good clan clan leader will do his/her homework to spot the trends of players and make the appropriate matchups.
The changes that Russ brought in a few years back was to address the collusion of several clan leaders, which amounted to abuse of the system, which was designed on goodwill.
There will always be malcontents who want changes to the feature for the wrong reasons.
Russ has made, and will make in future, the appropriate decisions regarding this feature based on valid suggestions for improvements.
Not the whining of the few.
And at the end of the day, the $$$ will determine his decisions.

@Very-Rusty Rusty, Fred, Mike, I wouldnt get too worked up over this Conchess character. He seems to have a lot of insider opinions for a guy thats only been here 3 1/2 months. This is obviously the latest carrobbie alter ego, the guy always had a fetish for this kind of thing
@bobla45 saidThis character has had at least half a dozen aliases in the last couple of years.

He's been around a while.
But Carrobie ?? I highly doubt it.
Carrobie was a far left ideologue.
This guy is a right wing hee haw.
From Canada. 😣😣ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
@bobla45 saidI have no idea who he is obviously a member from the past who has issues with lots of people. Where he is from is questionable anyone can put any flag up they want to throw everyone off. I thought he might have been robbie but believe I was wrong on that now. You may very well be correct on that also bobla45, I've been wrong before. 🙂

Are we sure about this?
This character seems to know quite a bit about chess from what I've seen on the chess forum.
Did any of the "usual suspects" from the past?
Why cant we just ask:-
Contenchess are you a returnee ?

Do you think this poster is going to actually tell us?
We have many gone that were quite knowledgeable about chess.
