Respect your opponent

[Shaggyng]

For ITST administrators:
Hello. I'ma relatively new user. Since I started playing the ITST, I knew I would be very difficult to find times in common with all my opponents.
And I know that's impossible to avoid. However, there are other things that can be avoided. Sometimes my opponent agreed to play at a time and date, and then not deliver.
I know there are many young people, with plenty of time. And I know that some people play just for fun ITST without giving it much importance. But I am a person with a job, a wife, and many occupations. A person living in Argentina, very difficult times trying to play a game time. Despite that, I accommodate the circumstances.
I ask permission to leave work. I put my alarm for 3 am, and so on. And the result is: stay hours in front of my XBOX, waiting for someone who never appears. Sending this message, to suggest that these behaviors are punished with the removal of the tournament.
When times are hard to match, is acceptable. But it seems wrong that people promise hours without measuring the damage you cause to your opponents, and this is not punished.
I do not mean disrespect to the organizers of ITST. On the contrary, I think that this page is a wonderful thing, and all that we owe the excellent work they do every day. I just want to share the frustration I feel when I do the impossible to play a game because my opponent does not care. Thank you very much.

Para los administradores de ITST:

Hola. Soy un usuario relativamente nuevo.
Desde que empecé a jugar el ITST, supe que sería muy dificil encontrar horarios en común con todos mis oponentes.
Y sé que eso es imposible de evitar.
Sin embargo, hay cosas que sí se pueden evitar.
En algunas ocasiones, mi oponente aceptó jugar en un horario y fecha, y luego no cumplió.
Sé que hay mucha gente joven, con mucho tiempo disponible.
Y también sé que hay gente juega ITST sólo para divertirse, sin darle mucha importancia.
Pero yo soy una persona con un trabajo, una mujer, y muchas ocupaciones. Una persona que vive en Argentina, con horarios muy difíciles para tratar de cumplir una hora de partido. A pesar de eso, me acomodo a las circunstancias. Pido permiso para salir del trabajo. Pongo mi despertador a las 3 de la mañana, etcétera.
Y el resultado es: quedarme horas frente a mi XBOX, esperando una persona que nunca aparece.
Mando este mensaje, para sugerir que se castiguen estas conductas con la eliminación del torneo.
Cuando los horarios son difíciles de concordar, es totalmente aceptable.
Pero me parece mal que las personas prometan horarios sin medir el daño que le causan a sus oponentes, y que esto no sea castigado.
No es mi intención ser irrespetuoso con los organizadores de ITST. Todo lo contrario, me parece que esta página es algo maravilloso, y que todo eso se lo debemos al excelente trabajo que hacen día a día.
Sólo quiero compartir la frustación que siento cuando hago lo imposible para jugar un partido, y a mi rival no le importa.
Muchas gracias.

If you're opponent doesn't show up for a time you agreed on, do two things:

1. Notify the host.
2. Send you opponent a message while you are waiting. Something like "Hey, I'm online but you are not here".

If you have a host on your friendslist, and you see them online while you are waiting, you can send them a message as well. For instance, if you are playing in a tournament that Djarvik is hosting, and you see me online, send me a message telling me what it going on. I will check to see if your opponent is on, and I will let Djarvik know that you were online and your opponent wasn't. That may not always be possible, but it provides pretty good proof.

You can also check to see if any hosts are on the forums by looking at the bottom of the main forum page. Any of them should be able to help you.

""1. Notify the host." i did
2. Send you opponent a message while you are waiting. Something like "Hey, I'm online but you are not here". "" i did

Why can not eliminate the rival? If administrators can view private messages, so they can see that there was infringement.
