Not sure I like this. I will occasionally go back and play a red thumb player to see if I changed my mind. I have taken back a red thumb twice and noticed someone took one back on me as well.

Sounds like a bad idea.

When I have given a red thumb, I then receive one back. Should it be that way?

Sometimes, a player will figure out that you gave him or her a red thumb and will give you one back. An eye for an eye, basically.

Anyway, thank you for this change. I have no problem with people I've red thumbed knowing I gave them one, and I'm glad that they can't join my tables anymore.

So if I give red - I lose chance to become more kind and try to return his thumb to green.
Very important thing: you let us change thumbs only for players with whom we played recently.

BETTER TO MAKE POSSIBILITY TO CHANGE RED TO GREEN A-N-Y-T-I-M-E!

In fact we make possible to change from red to neutral anytime :)

I think this is a very bad idea for anything other than 2-player games. I try very hard to be a friendly player who doesn't get thumbed that often, but every once in a blue moon, my internet connection drops or somebody doesn't like that I made a move than hurt their position. I receive a red thumb. Now all they have to do is squat in a game and I cannot join? Two of the players in a four player game might think I am a great guy, but one sourpuss can block me from joining?

I like the current system where I can just choose to leave a game if someone I don't like sits down. And hopefully there are not too many people like this, but if somebody doesn't like me, they can simply choose to leave if they don't want to play with me.

Not exactly a red thumb item but would it be possible that, when you don't want to play a game with someone at a particular time it doesn't remove the game from your favourites list?

Very Good change.

One comment: The player to whom we have a given a red thumb should not be allowed to view the games of each other as a spectator because they may write unnecessary comments in the presence of other players and cause a disrespectful environment.Appreciate if you could take care of this in your next red thumb changes.

Appreciate your response on this matter.thanks

I think it's a good idea really.

Yes, this system could get some problems with "give me a red thumb, so I will back you". But I think reputation system needed a re-work, and it could be a good step!

Thanks BGA.
