Why is the ladder not an official part of the Wesnoth community?
• The ladder is not official because the concept of it, rating players, is controversial and/or not wanted among some Wesnoth developers. Their exact reasons may vary, but most of them probably believe that using ratings is a bad or for other reasons an unwanted thing which should be opposed. • We didn’t ask for permission to start the ladder, nor did we see it as something that was needed. Hence, from it’s birth, the project has been unofficial. • Upon requesting a dedicated section on the Wesnoth forum we got denied, because the ladder is not official.
