And the entire history of the games is within a 6 hour period. Is is possible that CheckOneDo was pulling your leg due to some misunderstandings between the two of you when you were doing the "Tells"? Was your rating actually dropped or was this just something CheckOneDo said that he would do (like I said before, I am too much of a chess server neophyte to check this out for myself). Note: Mr. Boehm may have been given a slightly distorted version of the events by CheckOneDo if in fact CheckOneDo was toying with you. You must realize that messages (such as the one I am sending you now) can be misinterpreted and people who are normally rational can get annoyed. Possibly CheckOneDo was bothered by one or more of your Tells. As Dann said, it would behoove you to go back to that server and play some more. First off, I doubt that a business would go out of it's way to antagonize you a second time. Secondly, it would show good faith on your part and you might, in fact, actually enjoy yourself. Don't let one bad incident force you to not get your money's worth on that server (like the people who get a posting yanked or a bad Email from a moderator and turn around and leave or threaten to leave the group over it; this concept of "they don't play fair, so I'm taking my ball and going home" leaves a bad taste in your mouth, doesn't it?). I, for one, am more interested in how they treat you in the future (with regard to considering whether I would every want to ever join that server) than the fact that you had a problem in the past. I would think that this is more important to the rest of the less emotional members of this forum as well. I think you would do more of a service to this forum if you went back and let us know if they corrected their customer service so that the rest of us know whether they are worth the effort or not. KarinsDad :) PS. If you do go back (highly recommended), make sure they give you a new password since everyone now knows it.
