user does not exist?

by **black elk speaks** on Sun Aug 17, 2008 1:05 pm

how is it possible that I am playing a user that does not exist?

CHUY1989's user profile says that he does not exist. wtf?

i was actually thinking of asking that same question...

It could mean one of two things:

1) They were forum banned (temporarily or permanently)
2) They were caught as a multi and therefore their account was banned

they're banned for some reason.

im in a quadruples match in which 2 of my partners have "user does not exist"

and we're going to win.

how are their points calculated?
the point system might benefit me for a change

Their points are calculated the same way as everybody else's.

how do you know how many pts they have?
you cant view their profile

You can't see them, unfortunately (although maybe the Map Rank plugin would still show it...I'm not sure if that would work or not). The reason you can't see their profile is because the Profile is based off the same software as the forums. Therefore if they are banned from the forums that includes their profile page. Their account is still active (or "there"), and points are still calculated (since the site doesn't use their profile page for it's calculations, but rather links the calculation to the profile page). You could try searching on the scoreboard (I'm not sure if that works), or you can make a guess by the rank icon you see by their name (it would obviously be between a certain amount of points based on the rank).

I hope that makes sense, it seems like a lot of rambling

You can still search them on the scoreboard (as long as they have completed a game in the last 30 days) to find their score.

I thought scoreboard was if they had taken their turn in 30 days, not finished a game. (you probably know more than me, but that is what I read)

He's a corporal- has at least 1100 points and has less than 1200.

Well, a new recruit who has not completed a game yet would not be listed on the Scoreboard.
