Can some please explain how I block a specific player please? I have read that people say ‘private’ red thumbs up but what do they mean by ‘private’? Do they mean private message I send a red thumbs up? Also, where will I find the Red Thumb? Any advice would be great thank you

In his profile, you find a red and green thumb icon. If you click the red one, you are asked whether you want to give a public or private red thumb. The former needs no reason and has the only affect that you can‘t play / msg with him anymore. The later needs a serious reason, and if he gets too many, his karma will drop. You only can give 1 public red thumb for every 5 green thumbs you give.

Thank you so much for that, much appreciated

Do you happen to know if the player I have blocked can still participate in tournaments I arrange?
