Rematch logic is very flawed

@lake-bay If someone were to cheat they don't need to go to the washroom unless it was at an OTB tournament. This is simply about not wanting to lose the game on time simply because of unexpected diarrhea. The diarrhea is a joke but is actually a serious point lol
Jeez guys really.... I'm talking about correspondence games. When there are multiple days allowed per move, sometimes I make a move from the computer, then next time from phone, the next time from ipad.

It's a perfectly normal usecase to be jumping devices for long games... and the rematch logic is horribly flawed in that case.
OTB you are not allowed to set up the board position on your phone, and then go with it to the toilet.

I recommend not to allow multiple devices unless it is correspondance games.
Yes, it would be nice to take the board position to the toilet, but OTB you cant, too.
The cheat-prevention-issue outweighs by far the convinence-issue.

p-wnattack has meanwhile a red banner "this player uses divine intellect", so you see he is a hypocrite with his arguements.

look here at his profile:
@p-wnattack

Maybe it wasnt his "own" intellect? Maybe it was artificial intelligence?
#14 Some players think they are clever when they add images to their profile pages.
#17 PMs like this : "how do you put a profile picture in?" proves your point definitely. Though I rather value the fun aspect of it ;)
So for those us that play correspondence... will the rematch from multi-device issue be fixed? Is it even on the roadmap? Just looking for some general acknowledgment by those in charge that they recognize this is an issue and will address at some point...? thx.
