When BGA made changes to the reputation system, the mods told us that we would no longer play with people who gave us a red thumb or people who we red thumbed.

At a Secret Moon game, the table host reserved a spot for someone who I gave a red thumb to, and he was allowed to join the table even though he shouldn't have been. Also, this same player (who is very annoying and rude, which is why I gave him a red thumb in the first place), kept reserving a spot for me at one of his tables even though I kept hitting the "refuse invitation" link. He did this to be annoying and confrontational. Why was he allowed to do this when I blacklisted him? I also gave him a public red thumb because he is not someone who I ever want to play with and I think others should be warned about his behavior.

Please change this. If I blacklist someone, or they blacklist me, I do not want to play with them. Do not allow them to reserve a spot at a table I'm in. Perhaps this is a bug; if so, please fix it.

Yes, he is allowed to join because the table host invited him; this overrules you redthumbing him.
When you are the table host he can't join (unless you invite him!).

I think it's not a bug. It's the same thing: An invite from table host can overrule his own or others redthumbing.

But in this case very annoying; should be changed indeed.

This is of course not intended and mostly a bug.

The explanation previously given is correct : when you are invited at a table, it overrules everything, because this would be stupid to be invited to a table you cannot join for any reason.

However, we will make sure that no one can invite an opponent with a red thumb given/received, and that no one can join a table if an invited player on his blacklist.

Thank you for addressing this!

hi,
how if a game admin wants to invite his friend, but there is an unknown player in the table who gives his friend a red thumb?
