  How do I get this blackmark against me removed ? I have terrible connection problems playing from my job. I do not quit and you ask a majority of the people on my friends list that I do not quit .I play out my alt games and was trying my best to become a better player.I have spent money on equipment and now cant get a decent game going. The only matches I get now are with perv's that this site should do a better job removing
  
  Thank you to anyone that can help

  1)--maybe get a better connection 
  2)-- shouldn't you be working and not playing WGT
  3)--maybe a better job with better connection

  Did it ever work in your experience?

  Mine is opposite. Trying to help a friend left both of us with nothing but five counts against us :(

  @Gina: AFAIS, you aren't branded a quitter but as so. who doesn't finish games. The badge is rightly and neutrally named "Completion %".  Alas, apart from the moral POV, it's the same for your co-players: Games will fail to a certain extent, which is no fun as you will know well.

  If memory serves it did....

  Back when it was in actual % terms, there was a rash of 'unexpected errors' happening across the board ( probably after an update ;/ ) and I dropped below 90%, pretty sure I played blitz to get it up to 92% again.

  Though it only took 4 or 5 games as the system was new.

  If Gina has had the problem for ages then it may take many more games to raise that %% ( like our stats ). I remember They did lower the percentage when the 'tick' system came in though,wasn't it around 60% completion gets you green ?

  I don't know any numbers, old or new.

  Sad story, apart from the friendly effort.

  At some time in 2017, Yancy wanted to raise his status, so I agreed to play a few Blitz with him. Then, Alanti joined us, seeing us green. But we never came to finish a single game in two or three - discons over and over. After five efforts, I called it a day - we were only losing %% :(

  #1 Stop playing from your job . You know the connection is terrible , so why keep shooting yourself in the foot . Save the game play until you get home and can play with better connection .

  # 2 Change your profile pic . For some reason when guys see a female pic they act like this is a dating site . Even if its a fake picture they start looking for a hook up . So change your pic to something that isnt you or doesnt reflect a female at all . That should stop the pervs from hitting on you . Start with a male avatar and use its profile pic and see how that works .

  Props sent, for the courage

  How can the obvious go unnoticed here?

  Take the gerbil out of ur can

  Maybe the unaccounted twitch clicking causality, will stop  ("-")

   

  Just a thought

  Well, I guess that's one way, but the best way to avoid pervs, imho and based on loooong experience, is to join a well-established Country Club whose members are filtered for reasonable friendliness and for playing of golf in the genteel spirit of the game. Invitation sent.
