I've said it before and I'll say it again... it is extremely laughable and disgusting for known clan sandbaggers to go on about someone else when they themselves have been shown to be on extremely tenuous moral ground...
Actions speak louder than words and I'm sorry, but their actions leave no doubt that you can take anything they say with a very large grain of salt.
And while I acknowledge that sandbagging is not cheating, it's so close as to be exactly the same, morally. It is deliberately taking advantage, and isn't that what cheating is? It is not currently technically cheating here only because it is so hard to prove, no matter how obvious it is. All you people who sandbag getting inflated blood pressure over an increase of a few hundred points in a few months? Try getting screwed by someone who increases their rating by 300 or more points in one game, and tell me who is guilty of the bigger sin.

Someone has some humor maybe? ๐ฒ
I definately concur too.
ps:I do not know why though, I havent been followin' the thread carefully. But concuring always good.

What is sandbagging?
.....but actually if you open the trusty English dictionary you will quickly find;
a sandbagger: An assaulter whose weapon is a sand bag.
So I am guessing he meant a man who attacks another without enough power, evidence or something. My English goes this far. And Actually it makes good sense. It is a nice word to use in the forums ๐
But it might be too intellectual for some๐, I am not excluding myself here๐

Originally posted by bbarrAlso could be true, but I don't think he/she meant it that way. He/she used the word with precision. She said ''sandbaggers'' not sandbagging referring a group of people who attacks others without enough evidence.
An essential element of flood control.
I might be totally wrong here. We'll ask her as she knows the best I assume.

Originally posted by NicotineManAccording to my dictionary, "to sandbag" can also mean "to coerce" in American English. But neither meaning seems to fit in Suzianne's post.
