Ability to ‘block’ players that have never played.

Post by jimshorts72 »

Presumably for issues of ranking there are players that will always decline a game. Is there a way for me to block or mute these players so that I’m never matched with them? Feels like this would save wasting both of our time

Hi,

To exclude beginners, you can go to the option of the table you have been created: "restrict table access" (or something like that).
It is on top-right, on the same row of "Players at this table".
In this menu, you can toggle checkbox to restrict players by level (including beginners or not) and/or karma.

Hope this helps :)

Take care,
Woodruff

Unfortunately I don’t think that will work. The individual player rejects all my games so this never never results in poor karma. Sadly I think I’m asking if there is a mechanism for me to ‘blacklist’ an individual so that I’m never matched to them again.

How do I give a red thumb to someone that I’ve never played as they never accept a game?

Hi!

Is it possible to see the list of players that I've given a red thumb to?
