Block a Player

Folks -
There is a player whom I do not want in my two person games because of how they have acted previously. However, they continue to join a game whenever I start it, even I after I have expelled them several times. Is there anyway to block that individual from joining my games?
Thanks.

More specifically, use a private red thumb.

A public red thumb indicates that the person violates BGA policies, and should be avoided by all players. Accumulating too many affects one's karma.

A private red thumb indicates to the system that you don't get along with that player, and want to avoid them. It doesn't affect their karma, but prevents them from joining tables you are at. (Mostly -- it still allows it in tournaments, I believe, but I could be wrong on that.)

Please explain how or where you create a public vs a private red thumb.
Thank you.

When you click the red thumb on their profile you have the option for what type!

Or in the aftermath of a game you played with them.
