KGS Issue - Escapers

    Keywords: Software

KGS already has features to deal with escapers, and they will be improved in the next release. See escaping for tips how you can deal with escapers.


For the next release, 2.6.7, wms has the following plan to deal with escapers:

Change escaper system a bit. Right now, chronic escapers get forfeits after too many escapes. This works, but people are upset because they don't like waiting for their win, and also sometimes they don't know they'll get it and complain. So, it will stay as-is, but once somebody gets a lot of forfeits this way, their escapes will become instant forfeits. Not only that, but to make their opponents happy, when they leave the game their opponent will be told simply, "xxx has resigned", as if they pressed the resign button just before leaving. Note that this will only happen for users who escape enough to build up a lot of forfeits - but there are a few of these users out there who cause 90%+ of the escapes, so since they treat leaving the game as a resign, the server may as well treat it that way too.
