Hi,

A player has sent to me dozens and dozens of invitations to play with him (such as team match) in a second. The goal was to prevent me to play at a table. I have to close dozens of the same window. Possible to avoid this phenomena ?
For example : blacklist a player (so he cannot send anything to me) or get only 1 window but not dozens and dozens ?

Thank you

Report the player to abuse at bridgebase

Trumpace has some neat software that may solve your problem if you use the windows client.

Tell me who the player was ( not publicly, but via email to uday@bridgebase or Instant Message here on forums ) and we'll take a look.

Great! This has been one of the simplest/most obviously needed software changes for quite some time.

The player (I guess he's the same one) has sent again lot of invitations.

I will be interested in a change into the software (no possibility to send a lot of invitations) because it's really annoying.

Using the windows version I can play (or invite a player for a tournament) with only one login/password by machine at the same time .....
The "flash version" allows to open as many logins/password as you want at the same time.....
That means that, with the web version, your "enemy" can open a new login at any time and send many invitations under a "neutral" login .....
