The erase command
Erase a user's account, removing them from the system. This command can only be used by privileged users. From Andreas Schneider: "I'm very sorry that this is necessary, but I can't wait any longer: There have been problems with users of the backgammon server complaining about other players. Complaints were about cheating and about insulting other users. It's not possible for me to verify if those incidents did really happen, because I'm not logged in all the time, because people tend to behave well as soon as I'm logged in and because listening to all players involved (which I tried) uses up a lot of the time I can use for maintaining and improving the server. Therefore I have asked a couple of players to report those incidents. Those players are users of this server for several months and I know that I can rely on what they tell me. If those players keep telling me that someone is misusing the server I will erase the account in question without discussing about it. I know this may not always be the ideal way to solve the problems, but I don't see any other way to deal with them. "Don't complain if it happens to you - it's not my decision. No, I won't tell who the players are whom I asked to keep their eyes open. I won't answer the insulting emails I'll get. I won't listen to complaints about other players by other players than the ones I asked to complain." |
