Hey guys it is great to be back , but I do have a problem and hope that with your combined knowledge we can get to the bottom of it.Since I have come back I wanted to see haw bad my rankings had dropped. They did drop ,but now that I am back it does not even register that i am playing anymore. In fact it shows that I have not played since April 9. And I Think that is the day that I became a member.Is it possible that some of the files is blocking me from the stats server.It does not seem to be affecting any else.If you have any suggestions or can offer any help in this area I would be extremely appreciative. Thank you.
Sir Shootsalot ;D

The ranking tracks you by your name. Your name is Sir_Shootsalot, but for the last few days you have been using Sir Shootsalot. As far as the ranking goes, that's two completely different players. Make sure you log in with the "_", and it will start tracking you again.

Hey lamron thanks for the advice but I tried that and I tried using a deferent name and that did not work,I also tried using a difererent server ,Ok just forget I said that, but still it is like I don't exist.I know I do, and it still am have a great time playing but I always want every thing to work right.Or to know why if I can.If it never works again its no real big loss just wandered if any one heard of this happening.

OK, first of all, be patient, Shootsy. The rankings are dependent upon when the CSports site samples the different servers; if it does it while you're not there, you don't get any updated data. Also, there is a lag in their reporting, I think, because I have played some each day since 4/29 (4/30, 5/1) and they report my last activity was 4/29; Lost_Child was off and on, too, but they say his last was 4/28. Second, this is a commercial website, and they want your dollars--I think they have some sort of preferential tracking system if you cough up more than indignation at your score--think about it if it's that important--and they could also be having internet or server trouble and haven't sampled in a while or haven't updated their data (?going out of business soon?). So, give it a few days and play off and on some every day, and then see if you show up. Third, Lamron is right, too, keep the same name, using the underscore (the key to the right of the 0 key in the number row), and don't vary whether you have caps on or off: use only Sir_Shootsalot. Don't do Sir_ShootsALot, for example, because I think it will track you as a different person (when I searched for me, there was a redrocker and a Redrocker). And finally, some of us have been playing around during games lately with name variants (RedRock Elder, Jr.; RedRock the bold; RedRock the usual), and guess what, it tracks those as separate people, too, not giving me credit for those accomplishments/detriments at the time I was running around with a different name, and all those names were within the same hour or 2 of play.
So, don't fret just yet, you'll soon move up from the rank of 53,039 to your usual 110.
And Lost_Child, I'm now 304 to your 285!!!! Wow, you must be really tired with all that super elite killing! Maybe a vacation is what you need--I hear the Phillipines are real purty this time of year, and your ranking will be quite intact when you get back, right? What do you think? ;D
