Well, this is definitely not a place for gossip. That was obviously not sarcasm but a respond to an unsportsmanlike behavior. A civilized person would rethink his bad behavior instead of continuing it by posting a comment from the game chat in the public forum, where it does not belong to.

Dear all
Mr. Yiannakos, Mr. Katouzian, Mr. Ahmed and others;

As my team mate "mohamadr" reported above, he received kind of a strange and unsportsmanlike message from his German opponent during NT5 match, which is absolutely unacceptable to each and every player here.
Besides, this player has challenged "mohamadr" to a "NURATED" game !!!! just because of "lower rating"!! wowwwww (This has already been informed to Mr. Yiannakos.)

Our NT community is not deserved to such kind of behaviors. I believe that we're here first of all for further friendship/respect and then for fun, not to be offended by others! This should be stopped someway for the next games and future tournaments.

PLEASE JUDGE FOR YOURSELF !!

with best regards

Mohamadr had informed me of the unrated game last week. Maybe I should have stepped in that time and the rest of this argument could have been avoided.

As Plasmon only hurt himself by the unrated game, I will ask Mohamadr to forgive him.
As I should have stepped in earlier, I will ask Plasmon to forgive both me and Mohamadr - for his public comments.

Finally, as this tournament was started to promote camaraderie within a team and good relations with others, I will ask both Mohamar and Plasmon to "shake hands" and carry on in this competition, in the spirit of camaraderie and good relations.

Finally, I will ask that everyone avoids unrated games as some may take them as an insult.

plasmon if it matters then let me tell u i had an active game against mohamadr also at the same time.. and there was only 1 move left and he had won the game but he had gone offline at that time... I don't think that was intentional because this happen to me and i hv seen it with many other players also...
I wanted to clear it yesterday as i was online when mohamadr posted his comment but i let it go that it may not be responded but as others has stepped in, i thought i should share that it was not intentional...

Thanks yiannakos for handling it well.. guys pz remember we are here for fun so enjoy.

upon the time of challenge there is a box above cube section which says "unrated game" click that and the result of that game will not effect ur rankings

If you have any issue with your opponent, please report to your team captain, Yiannakos and/or one of tournament committees, not the public forum as the first step.

Great job, Yiannakos for taking care of it.

Keep rolling and good luck to all for the rest of the tournament!

I suppose plasmon wrote some comment.
I believe mohamadar feels not comfortable.
but.... Friends! This is only game - enjoy it.
I think we need to revise rules next time - i mean short, clear rules.
Yiannakos knows what i mean  
I agree fully with Captain Steelerhead.

Best regards & luck to all,
Rossi
