How hard would it be to add a little message board to your website? If that's too hard I could set you up a forum on PBW. People could start a new thread whenever they want to join, or start a rating game, or post results. Or maybe Fyron could setup up a special forum for you on his site. His forum works a little better I think. Then you could link to whichever forum from your webpage.

Not sure which is easiest. This board seems to be the "center of the universe"... .

It's easy to insert a board or forum into the site...done it before in a Mechwarrior site I had. The downside, I think, is that each person would have to register (on yet another forum) and check it regularly. Don't want to cause that kind of additional trouble. Also, keeping this forum the "center of the universe" (which it already is as far as SE4 is concerned... ), would seem to serve as an ongoing "advertisement".

I was looking for the easiest way for a person to indicate their desire to have their game be rated. KOTH, one of the most active threads, seems to do well with posting all the requests to take a break from the game as well as wins and losses. Perhaps this thread could serve the same purpose.

What I DON'T want is having to find game Ratings request and reports of wins and losses to be in various other threads...too easy to miss something.

And, wondering if requiring the loser to report is the only way to go...meaning that taking a report of a victory by the victor standing as a "report" unless contested by the loser. But, I'd hate to set up a situation where there might be a controversy. Given the KOTH people, I can pretty much assume good sports all around. But one can't count on that behavior forever.
