Automatic red thumb for players with bad karma

[Hagardunor]

when you create a game, you have the possibility to prevent players with bad karma to join it.

The reverse situation is impossible (or I missed something) : you cannot set a limit karma that prevents YOU to enter a game if a player with very bad karma has already joined. You have to check first the karma of all players that have already joined. By the way, it does not preserve you from seeing a bad karma player join after you have entered the game.

Could it be possible to have a preference setting that says for instance "i do not want to play with players with karma under such value". This way you would never enter a game in which bad karma players are already enrolled, or you would be ejected for one game you are already enrolled in if a bad karma player enters.

Thanks

I think that what you are looking for already exists but you have to do it for each game you play.
You enter the parameters of the game then advanced paramters and you have choices on the reputation of players you want to play with.

I know how to do it for games I create only

This exists. And if it is not working, it is a bug.

Go here for instance. https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=sevenwonders When you click on the icon right to the player number, the green door with green people), there you can set Karma restrictions.

You have to do it from the "Play" ("Jouer" in french) page not from the game page (what they call the new lobby, I don't know how to do it from there).
Then you have the list og games and you can choose the parameters from the one you want (the gear icon) and from here the advanced parameters.

EDIT : just saw the comment below, so yes it is another way to do it

I know this feature.

As said above, you can deter players with bad Karma from entering a game YOU are the adminstrator. But there is no automatic no show option if a bad karma is registered in a game you want to enter (the red thumb works like this : you dont have to check players before registering to look for your red thumbs, the system simply does not make games in which they are not appear in the list of games you can enter).

Well the new lobby is supposed to be an automatic lobby, so once you set your restrictions, you either have people join your table or you get joined to a table that fits your restrictions. I don't think many people go through the tables manually anymore.
But in fact you are right that tables which do not fit all your restriction should not even displayed. I suggest you write a bug report / suggestion for this.

I doubt that. Would be interesting to see a poll on this as well as on the "new lobby".
Personally I always use manual when possible. This way I can see where there are tables already. Overall it gives me a greater control.

Internet polls are usually pretty bad, they can be tremendously biased. Be assured that the site owners have tons of data and analytics on which lobby is used, if people get quicker into games, things like that. Of course the data they collect doesn't tell the whole story but a much more realistic one than a poll could do.

thanks for the recommendation
