Hello, I'm trying to clean the slate.
Is there an easy way to keep all my vouches and drop all the complaints?
Thanks - and yes I'm a newbie, but not to fibs - just the board!!!
Appreciate the help!

I believe you are asking about Rebot vouches and complaints which has nothing to do with Fibsboard except as a conversation to be had about Rebot which is bot residing on FIBS. Nothing can be removed by you. Complaints can only be removed by the complainer. You can find your complainers and vouchers by commanding "tell repbot list". For other commands, "tell repbot help". This section has extensive conversation (forum/Repbot) re: everything to do about Repbot.
Using Repbot to ask about a player before you accept a match will give you an idea if the player is a dropper or not until you learn who is and who isn't. Generally speaking, those who play the tourneys can be trusted. Pay attention to how many complainers a person has with rebot and you won't usually go wrong.
If you have as many as 5 saved games, you are unable to invite a new match. Saved games expire in 7-10 days unless they completed.
Welcome to FIBS. Be patient, you will learn everything eventually.

QuoteRebot, which is a FIBS bot.
Actually RepBot and it isn't a Fibs bot, as Patti will tell you if asked. Asking is not recommended!
QuoteNothing can be removed by you
Yes it can. You can remove your own complaints and vouches, but obviously not those made about you by others. I believe the command is t repbot withdraw username.
QuoteComplaints expire in 7-10 days unless they are removed by the maker.
No they don't.

Thank you, dorbel, for always pointing out my faux pas so diligently not only in shouts, but now also here. :)
Perhaps I should have said, Repbot functions on FIBS and has nothing to do with Fibsboard. To find out the owner of any bot and their email addy, the command is "whois <bot name>".
Perhaps I should have said, you cannot remove complaints made by others against you, which is what I think the newbie referred to.
Perhaps I should have said, saved games (sometimes resulting in a complaint) that prevent you from playing, numbering 5, cannot be removed by you but will expire in 7 to 10 days.
Please hang me from the highest tree for misspeaking. :thumbsup2:

the command is: tell RepBot withdraw [username]
But what's an ell among friends?
No ell. Can't be that time of year already.
At the risk of turning this into a thread for pedants, the tell command can be abbreviated to just t (without the 'kin 'ell).
And for the time being, RepBotNG can be abbreviated to just rep: t rep

I did a t rep list on myself and it listed a complainant that I last played Dec. 22. I thought they dropped off after 7-10 days?

paulie, you are confusing complaints with saved games.
Saved games disappear after 7 to 10 days.
But complaints made by others against you never go away UNLESS the person who made the complaint withdraws it.

Read the quote from Socksey. I guess she just made a boo-boo.
Yes, I often make mistakes as everyone does. ;) My original post has been corrected. To my credit, when I do make a mistake, I am always willing to admit it and correct it. :thumbsup2:

Thanks to all. I knew I could remove a complaint, but I believe only if the other player was online @ fibs?
I will try a few and see if I can clean some up with them being absent.
Either way, thank you all for the help!

My fault for the confusion......a complaint can only be removed by the complainer. The way to get around the complaints is to ask everyone you play to vouch for you and before you know it, you'll have a great reputation and you won't need to worry about the complaints. You might even ask the persons who complained about you as to why and if you can do anything to change their mind so that they may remove the complaint. A complaint can be removed by the complainer at any time.
A saved game, on the other hand, :thumbsup: does expire in a matter of days and the saved games are the ones that prevent you from inviting new matches if you reach 5 saved games.

So clarify, if I complained about you and I wish to now VOUCH I will need to do two things
1) WITHDRAW my complaint
2) VOUCH for you
But I am not sure you really have a problem, I just checked
