Bad behavior seen when playing anonymously

@TheLionIsBack_21 The whiner probably is someone that loses so he uses options from # 2,3,5,6,7 :) - whiner i think means that he's sad (crying) and "whines" like Whinny the Pooh

The list is maybe missing a variant misser/stalker - if you create a variant game in some time control and someone randomly choses it and he doesnt know how to play it or loses and later stalks all your games that you created so you have to choose some other time control to lose him.

I think there is also an anonymous bot - someone that creates these ghost games automatically

There is cheat detection in anonymous games and IP bans too.

One more thing, let's say you are 1500 rated on your account. In anonymous, you can get paired with an absolute beginner or a grandmaster. Honestly, I think unrated games on your account rather than anonymous is best. With rating range, you will get paired with someone more or less your level

I thought the Whiner was the person who created this discussion.

He repeatedly does what he doesn't enjoy, and then rather than ask for advice about what he could do differently, complains about it.

No, a ‘whiner’ is a bit like a ‘weaner’, but less elongated.

I’ve often thought that playing anonymously is akin to going to the wrong part of town after sundown.
