Re: [pbmserv-dev] ratings and "stale" players

[Douglas Zander <darthdoug_1999@yahoo.com>]

I think maybe have a separate list for players in "reject" mode like Lyman
said.  But then what rating do you give them when they remove the "reject"
listing from their name?   Do you automatically bump them to the top of the
"non-reject" list where they were before?  

I think maybe a better list would be to have a list called "unable-to-reject";
this list would be designed so that the players cannot "limit" nor "reject"
their names.   This list would be a type of super achievement list where we
know that each player was forced to accept any challenge given to them.  Being
at the top of this list would signal a real achievement!  Of course, this list
would be voluntary, you do not have to accept a game in this list only if it is
your first time.  (the game challenge command would have to be altered to
signal that this is a "non-rejectable-list" game)  Once you accept a game to
this special list then you are committed to accept *every* game challenge to
this list.  This list would be a real challenge to be in as it would be
cut-throat and everyone would be out to get you.  (ha ha ha!)  

What do you all think?
