please create an option to exclude players from Russia from the game. I believe that citizens of this country should be excluded from the platform due to their attack on Ukraine.

You are correct into calling them citizens, but in war, it's not the citizens who should be punished.

Sadly, BGA has no interest whatsoever in taking even the most basic actions on this topic, despite numerous requests.

They do moderate anyone who denounces them for it, however.

Still we should remind it all the time. Russian flag should banned on arena.
We should take any possible actions to show russians how bad their country is at the moment.
Allowing so mnay things ( eg playing here) is telling: we condemn it but only in words.. sad …

####### player insulted BGA and got banned #########

Remove both flags and replace with a peace sign.

EDIT: I have appealed this unjustified moderation. There were no insults whatsoever in this post.

*Player Moderated: please remember that we do not tolerate insults on BGA.

I don't know if this article is true or not, but I thought it was hilarious. Thought I'd share. See below.

right. Only resistance can lead to action.
I agree that it is not the inhabitants that are responsible for the murder of Ukrainians, but they gave power to a sociopath.
If BGA cares about a player from the international community and is tolerant, he should make it possible not to play with Russia
