I’ve been searching around the forum, but I could not find the answer. It might not be important to the grand scheme of things, but I’m just so curious!
The “?” next to your rank are provisional rank or member, correct? What are those with “T” next to your rank?
More fleshed out - to get rid of the T, you must complete a correspondence game that does not end in timeout and lasts longer than 24 hours. This can be one that had already started when you got your T.
You’re correct about ? meaning provisional as well.
To the extent of my understanding (based on what I’ve heard from devs and mods), no, it does not. I suppose the logic there is that the T indicates you may not be there to actually play, and the fact that someone else times out doesn’t necessarily indicate that you’re back to playing.
