| Post subject: | IGS automatic greetings |
When playing on IGS, my Japanese opponents often greet me with "Let's begin and enjoy a great game." It seems that whatever client they are using has an automatic greeting button. I rather like the idea as it's implemented in Tygem (with a number of automatically translatable sentences to choose from) and I was wondering what IGS client the Japanese are using that has this function. |

I mainly use Tetsuki and that client does the automatic greeting at the beginning of the game. |

I admit I've assigned a macro to my greeting before, but the generic automatic one seems so impersonal to me. |

Your standard greeting would automatically be entered when you hit, for example, ctrl+1 or something. You could also copy your greeting and paste it, which is basically a temporary version of assigning a shortcut/hotkey. |

If it's automatic, is it still a greeting ? If my oppponent doesn't want to type a simple "hello", I'd rather get no greeting at all than some automatic message. I have no problem with people who only come online to play Go and who don't want to interact, but come on ... a macro to say "hi" ? I find this way more offensive than someone who doesn't say a word. This whole "Let's begin and enjoy a great game" thing always makes me want to answer something rude. I think it's by far the most annoying thing on IGS. |

Are you aware that your opponent may well not speak a word of English? He uses the automatic translation in order to be polite. No reason to want to respond rudely. |

That's why I don't respond at all. But if they think it is polite to set an automatic greeting macro, then it's a big FAIL. I find it highly irritating, if not offensive. |

I'm really tempted to feel offended. |
