Anything is possible. Just requires intent by those in control.
For this you would just change the client so the game does not end immediately. |

no change to the concession logic or implementation changes the fact that actually conceding a match is unsportsmanlike to me. thus i think the effort should clearly be spent on other issues.
and if someone wants to bring it down to the rules, then the current implementation is correct as far as i dare to judge. if conceding is used as means of cherry picking in the box with teams not having any stars in them yet - and if that violates site rules on fumbbl (which i guess) (and not game rules), this will be dealt with already today i expect by admins on a case to case basis. |

Some say that about T16 fouls.
Some say that about CPOMBs
Some say that about Timer Nazis.
In the end they are all in the rules, so they are all allowed and I am sure they all will continue to be.
My suggestion was purely to take out the spite concession (preventing a certain TD) whilst not allowing any further injuries to the conceding team. Yes it is not a big or immediate problem, but I don't see much of a downside to it? |

No problem with conceding but I will only do so specifically when my team has been trashed to the extent where they're being retired anyway and my opponent is a miserable git. At this point the game becomes an utter waste of time for me. |

Who are they then? And why would they make such an arbitrary change? |

I'm sorry, if you are ignorant of the the vernacular here, let me explain.
The term "Nazi" has become common slang used to described people who are overly concerned about details (in an unhealthy way), and like to correct others on every occasion they get. Especially evident on internet forums, blogs, and youtube.
So you could readily be called a Forum Nazi and I doubt you have gassed many Jews.
And someone who is a stickler for rules governing the serving of soup on Seinfeld might be considered a Soup Nazi. |

Timer Nazi is the correct way of saying it in English. Eg. Soup Nazi

It may be grammatically different in other languages. |

Cos Nazis are funny. Are you a (closet?) antisemite, BigBlock?
You know, just asking. Cos Mossad might like to know n' all. |

I think this has got a little out of context here, think its time for everyone to take a step back and breathe. |
