Subject: Deleted players???

Message:Today I happened to notice that in 10x1, the rank 100 number of games played had *decreased* from 1582 to 1569!! "1582" has moved up to rank 99, implying that a player above rank 99 has been deleted???
Here are the 10x1 statistics (sorted by number of games played) ranks 99-100:
_99. abinge ___ 0 __ 11 __ 0 __ 1582 __ 61.76% __ 1:30 __ 3015d
100. raws ._____ 1 __ 11 __ 0 __ 1569 __ 57.43% __ 3:20 __ 2601d
I'm very curious to know 1) if I have made a mistake, and 2) if a player (nic) has indeed been deleted, what are the criteria used to delete a player (nic) from the statistics pages??

Message:I would be really surprised if "PussyGrabber" was in the top 100 of 10x1 games played!!

Message:Tony, I didn't mean that that particular nick had been deleted - just that perhaps *one* player had been deleted, possibly for a similar infraction. Strictly just a guess.

Message:And I also didn't mean "that particular nic", but any similar recent nic!! I suppose that players in the top 100 of games played have usually (but maybe not always) been around for awhile, and therefore wouldn't suddenly qualify as an "offending nic".
Anyway, I also suppose that only Denny can delete nics!? Maybe he will enlighten us regarding his criteria for deleting nics??? Maybe he will even tell us who was deleted in this specific instance, and why?? I hope so!

Message:This topic has appeared numerous times over the years, and there is no clear, absolute set of prohibited guidelines. Denny's judgement, and to my knowledge, yes, only he can do such deletions.

I would be happy to see a "not clear", "not absolute" set of guidelines! Denny???

Message:Here's just a few examples; there have been others. I'm purposely making them (a tiny bit) harder to get to, as to avoid them getting started again.

I think common sense, with a liberal dose of leeway, is his motto, but of course I'm not speaking for him.

Message:I only looked at the first one of the above mentioned threads.
I think it would help things a lot if every nic cost $5 (and no refunds), and the cost of premium membership would be increased to $20!! That would prevent objectionable nics from even getting started, and might (slightly) decrease the vast number of multiple nics!!!!
I would also be in favor of deleting all nics with an idle time > 3650 days (10 years), unless they had been paid for!

Message:Speaking of "Pussy.Grabber", I see that he (?) ranks top of the list for w13x0 "Streak of the Day":

1. _____ Pussy.Grabber ___ 102 ____ 102 ____ 45 _____ 102 ___ 100.00% __ 3:17 __ 1:27
