Haha awesome -- well welcome anyway we are here to help!

i have a few questions.



how often do they update the rankings?

how long does it take for minus protest points to go away?

how long do you not have to play before your account get's deleted?

opti

HI Opti,
rankings are updated daily (around GMT 0400).
the protest points are for one month, i believe. (it used to be 90 days!)
i think the free account will stay for ever!!

cheers

cool thankyou

so does that mean i won't have to pay for my account?

If you pay, you get some advantages;

Scores and a ranking

Team and match racing

precedence on multi-fleet regattas

You have another 54 days (i think) as a paid user, then you will have to pay.

Sea ya,

T.

ohhhhhh that sucks

how much do we have to pay?

why are they making us pay?

how do you do that weird gybing thing where you gybe without gybing and just sail by the lea heaps?

opti

Go to the shop to have a look, there are a few different options. I worked it out a few weeks ago, for Aussies for a year membership it will cost $45.85.

We need to pay because a revenue will allow us some activities on SailX we can't even dream of today. But u don't NEED to pay, it just provides advantages..


Sailing by the lee, just tap down until past dead downwind and press space.

Sea ya,

T.

cool thanks tash

what sort've advantages?

Scores and a ranking

Team and match racing

precedence on multi-fleet regattas

tash please explain the last one i don't understand

so our ranking's will be taken away if we don't pay?

that sucks

opti

what tash means opti is that in big regatta, for example when you have 2 fields, you will be given a place in field 1 (where the points are etc) over someone who has not paid.

Whiskey.

okay

thanks for explaining that to me.

that won't make a difference to me because i am already on guest rights will it still work for me?

Your being on Guest Rights depends solely of you.
Ask for the restriction to be lifted using the Ask SailX form. Explain why you got Guest Rights and why we (the whole community) should trust you.

A.

yeah okay aestela i just wrote one can you read it and see if you (the whole sailx community) trusts me again?


opti

one question... My ranking was 200ish before, but now all of the sudden it is 800ish, with all of my points gone. What happened?
Also, my account was restricted for 2 weeks or so because of a protest, until date 3/7/10, but now it is still restricted with no end date.

Please Helppp???

can someone please explain about friends and connections and all of that stuff i don't understand.

how do you had friends because i made a group and clicked on invite people and it came up with all your friends have been invited do you want to add a personelle message, but then i thought i don't have any friends on sailx how do i add them because i want a private group but i don't want a private group with just me in it.

how do you make friendis/connections whatever i need to do?


opti

One thing is groups.
You can create a group or you can request to be a member of a created group.
If you create a group you can accept members
And that's all.

Another thing is the friends/connections
You can request to be a friend/to be connected with another user. He can accept or not.

For groups you go to the Groups menu option (under account).
For Friends/connections you go to the profiles (yours or your friends').

A.

ahhhh

thanks aestela

opti

help please??

Hi No-Excuses,

Find out why you had your rights restricted. It looks like you were given Black Flag restricted rights for abusive language.

In order to get your normal rights back you need to show that you can sail by the rules, always be a gentleman sailor and never post an insult at anyone on sailx.

You can request your rights reinstated by putting your mouse over the Account button in the top menu and clicking on "Ask Sailx".

Remember it is up to you to show the Administration of Sailx that you will never repeat what you did to get restricted rights when you ask for your rights back, you have to prove that you can be trusted to behave in the future.

Aloha!

heyy, just wondering why i dont have any point next to my name,
any help on the matter would be greatful.
