Adeli is correct, we\'re not complaining \"because we didn\'t get in\". If you check the selection threads, you\'ll notice that I have had plenty of time to put my name in the US timezone one. However, I didn\'t, because I knew that I wouldn\'t be of any use due to my sub-standard system.
No, as Adeli has pointed out, it\'s that if you sign up for the test, you promise to be available. You just don\'t forget about PS after signing in the thread!
So if you don\'t have a good reason for not testing (and no, getting bored does not count, as you should know what testing is about if you sign in!), you obviously only wanted to steal someone elses place.
I know that the testers are in different timezones and I\'m not complaining about that. If anything, the server logs will show how active each tester has been, so that\'s what\'s important IMNSHO.
