  In the Multiplayer games, What is the 'Reputation Option'  there which is turned off, when you are setting up a game.

  Cheers

  it's likely some future feature which we may or may not implement.

  Seems to me it could be what players have been asking for. Maybe its got something to do with your opponents rep, like does he quit often (bad rep)? Then you can decide if you want to go ahead with the game before it starts.

  I hear ya but let's not speculate. We all know where that would lead. If/when I have something to announce, I shall do so asap

  Ahhh, now I understand....  thx for the replies guys.

  Something like... very good..good..bad.. any reputation,  in multiplay games

  Interesting, This could be good in a way, but could open up a can of worms at the same time and could be hard to manage.

  Cheers

  I think that's left over from the original attempt by WGT at reputation tracking a while ago. They tried to implement something that turned into a fiasco but apparently is still in the works.

   

  *edit- Interesting comments when it was in place here....

  I would liken it to buyer reviews of sellers on Ebay - 1 to 5 stars maybe.  Subjective by the rater of course, but the average over many reviews would probably be pretty accurate.  The number of reviews would be important as well, so if someone only had a few reviews, you would take it with a grain of salt.  I think this would have a dramatic effect on player conduct.  A great rating would be very desirable.

  Yup, it didn't really work then. Not sure what/if something will happen. But, I guess the more I deny knowing anything about it the more steam this will get :)

  ... an utter and complete disaster.

  One of the biggest mistakes that WGT ~tried~ to implement.

  And one that should never be attempted again!
