Lol yeah i know what you mean but the thinking behind the action is that its like a "push out", like in 9-ball.
As in, u leave the cue ball in a neutral position so that the opponent can decide to pass or not without it being too risky if he/she chooses to play it. Its not cheating as such, but this is where the "foul and a miss" rule comes in, WHY CANT THERE BE A FOUL AND A MISS RULE?? If a player makes no real attempt then put them back, if so accept it...........

Maybe they could program it in a way that if the cue ball doesn't pass within a certain distance of the object ball then a miss is called, and also when played directly towards the wrong ball. It's hard, because a computer game can't really work out if a person is making a genuine attempt or not.

maybe if they started demeriting people who constantly do it. Because it takes the fun out of the game. At least this will make them learn

I personally think a better idea would be to have a point in the game where you automatically lose. I am not sure what would be a good formula, but as an example - if the difference in points is greater than twice the number of points remaining, then the game is lost. It might be good to add limits, say a minimum of 15 points more than the remaining value and maximum of 40.

I know that some people will claim to have made up these differences, but usually it's not going to happen. If you are that far behind, then either you are not good enough to do it often or else the other player is good enough to get out of them most of the time.

thats a good idea beppe m8 but will fod listen to the ideas from the members of the site? i always concede when i go at least 20 behind and not enough on the table maybe other people should do the same as it is only a game

its sad and pathetic and u should not play these ideots just mute em 

Martin, I don't think we deliberately play someone because we know they are a bad loser.

did i say u did ? i just said dont play em again

beppe hes talking about people delibratly not trying to hit off a snooker lol thats what im relating too

Yeah, sorry - went a little OT there. I agree, don't play those you don't like.

more commonly known as --- pro foul :|

Thanks for the response lads, I'm glad I'm not the only one that has a gripe about players doing this and until something is done I'll just avoid playing these type of players.

I've tagged those type of players as "cowards"

This craze is still going strong, Bobotwo and Zedys are at it now, it's spreading, is there aanything that Flyordie can do about this, it's ruining the game and before long everyone will be doing it.

Doubt FoD can do anything to stop it though. Would be too hard for the server to judge what's deliberate and what isn't.
