Lmao!

We do know when someone has reset there stats... you just got to know where to look!!!

If you take a look at the "Events" tab on their profile (if they have reset), it clearly states it on there! "Game score reset by self" You dont have to thank me, it's alright.

how about instead of banning newbies, chris on pool mentioned an idea (can only be applied for tournaments not normal ranked) that if you play a newbie your rank freezes so you don't gain or lose rank (unless your a newbie yourself then normal rank applies) but they still gain or lose rank normally.

so for example if Seb played a newbie at Original at 29/30 normally he would lose around 12 maybe more depending on the rank but the idea above freezes Seb's rank at say 950 for example and the newbie would gain 12 like normal.

i feel this is the best way to do it, and a few less tournaments too

"So you saying that every person we are playing we need to look at their events before playing them !!!!!! dont talk wet man, if we do that then we would never play a game, cos by time you have checked out your opponent, he/she has left the game"

Simple "If a player has reset their stats, just simply add 'R' to their nick, easier simpler."

why does that even matter?? you get them in a tourni you still have to play them lol.
we win games and we lose games. i dont see a problem with they things are now

No need to get in a hissy fit... "don't talk wet" that made me laugh. You really need to type what you mean clearly next time.

"How, when we play them do we know that they have reset their stats"

I think i answered that question...

i can agree with both sides really, i don't think it can do any harm having a symbol on profile, i know people can check events but you only have 30 seconds to press play and if users reset many months ago (like me) then its near impossible in 30 seconds (or just press watch and not play newbies)

If its in tournaments then nothing you can do either way.

This player was a newbie - why have I lost so much rank?

Ridiculous if you as me, get them out!!!
