Option to not play against players from certain countries

[Paddles]

There are many legitimate reasons to filter by country.

Really? Name three.

I'll give your response more credence if you can list them, and acknowledge that:

• It would be valid and reasonable for other BGA members to apply those to your home country.
• You would not disagree or complain if a significant proportion of BGA members decided to block players from your home country, for those reasons (or others).

I'd like an option to be able to exclude players that request filtering by country.

You can. Go to their profile and red thumb them.
