the same thing can go wrong:
for one: who will appoint the host if the host is absent? If you say same thing along the lines of "there should be a button that says Be the host" and is avaliable to all in the room. then that would be even worse from jerks abusing it.
second: if the way to appoint a new host is different maybe there is some considering.

The host doesn't need to be appointed, the next person in line to become host will become host. What I was thinking is if, after a period of inactivity by the host, (say five minutes) a message will appear to all other playing members in the room "The host has been inactive for five minutes, would you like to change the host?" Then if a majority of the active cubers vote yes then the next person in line to become host will become host.

third: if a person is disliked it is for a reason and they can definitively be kicked for it if the majority rules.

Although I agree that a person could be disliked for a reason, I feel the power to kick could abused. Take for example the live competition that was held last Saturday. If for some reason a group of people were upset or had a grudge against someone trying to participate within the contest, they could just kick them out of the room and that person would be unable to participate.
 
A few lines to let you know (again :D ) that I read this thread on a daily basis. I'm presently working in one of the most anticipated features, thinking about all you say here,... and trying to do my best. :p

Don't forget twisting the web at least once a day!!!!

yeah, but if people are allowed to be kicked, then someone could be kicked just because some people in the room don't like them. If you can just change the host then the worst that can happen is that one person isn't able to be host.

Well, if the majority of the room doesn't like someone in their room, they should be able to get rid of him. If anyone wants to go join the room of the person who got kicked, go ahead.
If I throw a party at my house, I'm the host. If someone comes to the party, and the majority of people dislike him, especially if he's being annoying, I can kick him out of my house.

Well, like I've said before, the power to start a "kick" should only be given to the host. Then, everyone votes on the host's "kick," if it should happen or not. It's not like a random competitor can start a "kick" just because he doesn't like a person being faster.

It'd be a lot faster for everyone to change rooms than waiting for 5mins, and plus sometimes the users take a 5 min break of an Ao100, (I've done so twice in a private room and elsewhere).
 
Ok. I just released one of the most demanded and anticipated features:



I also wrote a section in the help file. Please refer to it for further details.

Apart from the statistics, the new features solve the following problems:
  • Blank times (due to kibitzing) aren't included in your averages inside the statistics (still have effect in the competition).
  • You have access to the details of your averages by simply clicking the time. Scrambles are included.

You should also notice a slight improvement in the speed of the chat.

"I cube my best at twisttheweb"

...going for the next release!!! :D :D :D
 
Luis, this is really, really awesome.

The only thing that I would like to see changed atm would be the placement of "send time" and "leave."
I accidentally double click "send time" sometimes and end up leaving by mistake. Maybe you could move them around a bit so that that is less likely to happen?

Thanks.

Giving only the host the power to kick doesn't solve the problem though. If the host is the one that is idle there would be no way to remove him as host since he would be the only one able to kick anyone; consequently, everyone would have to have the power to kick or everyone would have to have the power to remove the host from his position. I would prefer the latter.

The time doesn't necessarily need to be 5 minutes. The entire point is that there be a way to remove the host from being host so that the rest of the room can continue. Obviously if the entire room is taking a 5 minute break then the host would not need to be removed.

And Luis thanks for the upgrades.
 
What about adding a "Nationality" field to a player's profile? Player would choose a nationality from the select field, and there will be a little flag at his profile to indicate where he's from

I thought about just putting " .dk " i my name ( probably " .pl " for you)
 
I think that would be nice but it's not necessary now. Maybe in the future. For now i reckon sorting players in columns by their results is the most needed thing.
 
How odd. I was on there earlier, but now I can't log in. I've PMed Luis; awaiting response.

EDIT: After 30 minutes, I can now get on. ?Still confused?
