    Default Poor Face-offs

    Why is it people want faceoffs with someone they KNOW they can beat????

    I was just in a Judged Faceoff,based on website, which I could give a flying Fuck about, by a person with 10 pages and I have 2. How about a new rule in Judged Face offs, if someone is DELIBERATELY challenging someone that you can see is completed one-sided, just to get a win. The person who started the challange gets THEIR challenge privages taken away.Maybe that will stop all of these one-sided judged and non-judged face offs, which merely waste bandwith, people's time, and just don't make it fun for what these should be.

    Well, I the judges should agree to vote for the other person when this happens, And maybe this will teach them a hard lesson

    That is my 1st feeling but if you only have 1 or 2 pic's turn your face offs off. judges should judge the better car to win.

    The problem with voting for the weaker car to teach them a lesson is you hurt all the GS Members that are voting on the judged face-off. That's unfair to them since they didn't have anything to do with the challenge.

    VP 96cobra has been challenging in areas where he's got a better than average chance to get some easy points and those pony wins (like Nay was doing) on his site. He's on his third best site judged face-off that he will more than likely get easily. The only option puts more pressure on J to issue warnings for it or a third button for the judges "a Void Button". If two of the three judges select this button the face-off is voided.

    i think the judges should have some pull with canceling these obvious attempts to attack weaker prey (many of whom shouldn't have been classified in the first place - but we won't go there).

    we've ony had a couple of people pulling these ridiculous face offs and we all know who they are.

    repeat offenders should be punished.

    first offense is a warning.
    second offense is a loss of the challenge and the points they challenged for.
    third offense is a loss of the ability to challenge.

    when two hearts race... both win.

    I love the idea of the void button. Seems like the judges could finally take control of the face offs the way they should have from the begginning.
    THANKS TO CRIMSON BLACK FOR THE AWESOME SIG.

    I'm in one now with VP 96Cobra for best website, which I think seems pretty fair as far as number of pages, pics and amount of verbiage... no?

    I like the void button also.
    At least I can say that my latest face-off was to a compable/better car and site (even tho I did his site), and I will take my loss

    Someone will have to find out from J if it can be done or not with his software.
