i agree, theres definte cheats in the toplist its obvious, also what annoys me is there aint any true crowns in snooker anymore, every time someone gets it, they either make a new nick or just dont play and nowadays they just keep getting wins off there friends to stay up. Dont think its gonna change either.

yeah totally agreed...sites slowly dropping badly when sumat gets done bout it maybe the ppl on here should wake up and realise its an online game play for fun stop with the abuse etc.. cant we all just get along?   too many kids..hope the mods can do sumat bout it cos it is getting extremly dull!!!

I totally agree with jas! it really is that bad now, the players that in question even hav the same intro for there different nicks! lol, so funny! im only supportin jas as he asked me to read the post. But in fairness to others, getting the crown is very difficult now, i do offer my sadness to anyone tryin to get the crown, as fair play seems to be lacking in this particular game. Anyway i dont really care because i play the best in here and its more of a challenge 4 me. I know the best players and i know the cartoon crowners, believe u me! pit ur wits against the good players an forget the multi nick losers! respect hopscottie! beem me up lads!

what can we do to stop the kids they dont stay for long but other ones join always remeber what you going to do put a 18+ on the site? have to give card details to prove your age??

Yes, it's pathetic these days, every time someone genuine (ie Scotty, Damien, BK-2) gets a high rating by playing well the crown's rating just ends up going higher because of cheating. I'm not naming names either but we all know who I'm on about. Even as recently as a year ago, it was exciting being high rated because there were hardly any cheaters going about... how times change!

Points well made Jason. I guess I really haven't been here that long compared to some, only 2 years. However, things have changed, theres no credibility in the game anymore, as you say, the crown means nothing now. 

Quality has without doubt dropped too. I remember being a vulnerable red baller in the long cold winter of 2005, new to a place which seemingly had such potential, yet nothing has improved since my being here. 

Customer Service is beyond poor, the forum bears certain similarities to the Third Reich with the approval system, players are cheating more, crown means nothing, the fun of the game is gone and pretty much the only update has been FODball, forgive me for not getting too excited there.


As much as I agree ith this sort of topic and the responses they generate, the bottom line is, people still pay to play and there in lies the reason behind its failure as a site to progress.



Dave.

well said jas !!!! and everybody else who has agreed !!!! the same happens with the tourneys ... you get a good player come in under a false nick and he gats max points coz he's red and ppl want to play him then when someone ties with him or gets close he then gets a m8 to give him a win and there isnt no time left to beat him ... i dont bother anymore with them , had it happen to many times ... you have a valid point ppl but i dont know how fod are going to stop these kids or even childish grown ups from wrecking the game ... i think its only a matter of time before all the really good and honest competetive players dissapear ... VERY SAD !!!!!!
