the purpose of my last thread

[fij and chibz]

The purpose of my previous hread is to make cheesy players realise that they need to stop ruining this site.

Hopefully by recording these players perform outrageously cheesy they will soon realise that they will have to stop.

Unfortunately it seems like they get away with it every time. So I will continue to make threads until management begin to realise that the website they work so hard on is in jeopardy of becoming a place that only cheesy players want to come.

You have a lot of players who enjoy coming to this site and play fairly. However if players continue to become frustrated by these cheesy players and no action is ever taken then they're bound to stop playing (which a lot of people have)..

I think ITST would have a lot more active players if stricter rules were in place when it comes to people playing cheesy

You are totally right. But you should give example. Because during our second match, you played as the guys you're criticizing : playing like a twit, just to get a victory.

About that match by the way, I really don't care to have lost it (it was just a 250 and there are a lot of 250 to play...), but I won't ever say you played fair during the second set.

And as I said, in 2011 I never saw that kind of practices.

C4ill, I'm talking about cheesy play that affects every player on the tour, not just you (serve and volley)

I'm on about people who serve near the tramlines doing slow, outwide serves.. People who constantly run around the court before you serve to put you off.. People who purposely glitch to enter matches pre-patched, those types.

Your issue is about being lobbed, which isn't really relevant as lobs in my view against a serve and volley player is the obvious shot choice.. Even though I still disagree that I over used them in the second set, but that's the past now.

There's a lot of people who will go to any length to win without playing a fair match with their opponent. A lot of people are aware of this but I feel as if nothing is ever done about it, so its constantly the same continuous cycle of people getting frustrated and leaving ITST

Each second is still the past, it's too easy to say that... Your opinion about lobs is what it is, but at the end, we have the same feeling : we have the feeling to get screwed by unfair people.

For me, the lobs are cheesy because way to easy to execute and almost impossible to counter (even when anticipated) ; for you it's dropshots or whatever.

At the end, the consequence is the same : we leave the tour because some people are ready to everything to get a victory.
They use things that allow them easy victories, they don't respect fairplay rules and in fact, they show no respect to us. They make the tour boring, and not fun to play at all.

What I don't understand is the goal of that : there is no money to earn, just respect at least.

But you can't win respect by playing unfair... So I don't understand why people play cheesy. They perhaps have psychological issues, they want to dominate their opponents even if it require unfair things to do. That's ridiculous and tragedy...

These players according to the management And hosts don't do anything wrong.it might be allowed but respecting your opponent should come first.
and if it's not classed as cheesy play why should they stop.theres no reason for them to stop they are playing within the rules.

What I can say is theres always going to be t***s around so we need to accept it and try and enjoy the good parts of itst and forget about the crap parts

[Moralspain]

understood

BTW we care about keeping cheesy players away from ITST, we do, and we make decisions about this issue, (new rules, replaying mathes, give wins, suspending members etc), but we use to keep all that info in private, and don't make a thread every time we act.
