I think the current rule which sets a limit of 4 hours to report a win is far too long. This current rule gives way to people abusing the rule, for example, Resoud is always reporting games late and out of order. We all have decent computers by now, and Starcraft doesn't require a lot to run. So, the excuse that your computer freezes, or you have to close SC is absurd. Resoud has on so many occasions said he can't report unless he closes sc, but after you bitch at him to report his games he does it without exiting battle net. He is a liar.
I'm sure there are other people who abuse this rule, not only Resoud. People think they might gain more points if they wait and see if someone ranks up, which is unfair because whatever point difference it may be, could change the outcome of a season.
Sword has to deal with countless complaints about games being out of order, or losses being reported as a mistake. It's time to change this rule.
Recently, Resoud reported a game he lost vs xS.3g almost 4 hours later, after having played gangster]stev 5 games in between. He didn't win 1 game vs 3g, so there's no excuse as to why he had to upload that game. You can also compare the file name when uploading a game to your replays on the game to make sure it's the right replay. Resoud has done this so many times, that it has made me wonder if he does it on purpose in hopes that a person might not complain or realise he did this to gain more points. When Rally complained that he uploaded a loss, it also came to light that he did it to Viper. Then shortly after he did it to xS.3g. I can understand a mistake once or twice, even maybe 3x because I like to believe in people's honesty, but these games are all just from one season. Resoud has done this in multiple seasons, and it's clearly abuse.
I propose changing the current 4 hour limit, to a 15-30 min limit, and that is already pretty generous, in my opinion. There is no excuse as to why you can't report a game right away. If you have to close SC to report a game, then do it. If the person you were playing finds another game, that's your fault. Get a new computer. It's a huge inconvenience to Sword, and it's not Sword's job to continuously have to fix games because of people's incompetence/lies.
Please provide your opinion on changing the limit and to what a good limit might be and why
