Thanks for your input. I also agree that the report does not really help. The only thing you can do is to watch your black list growing fast. I would prefer that every IDs get a "politeness" rating which is visible for all. Each valid report of abuse will decrease that rating. However, this would be an exhausting work for admins.

Thanks for sharing this idea, but i would not stop communication with possible new partner and other nice players just because of some random rude IDs. That would be a penalty for me and a victory of those rats.

well actually you can ignore the player to stop receiving their private messages. But you can see how fast your black list grows :)

In my card on BBO i wrote "NO NEED LESSONS FROM RANDOMS". Here i really mean any kind of lessons, it can be how to bid / how to play of bridge, it also can be some "ethic" suggestion. No need lessons, thanks!

I totally agree that. But a new account would need time to get that many good players. I forgot my old account and don't have that much time as before.. :(

I know it is nothing new. But what I have been experiencing again on BBO was really more terrible than about 10 years ago. It is of course possible because of the pandemic, either people might have stress, depression, or I am having it and have been more sensitive :(

Thanks, but to be honest I don't really think this could help. The frequency to meet uncomfortable players is terribly high than before.

Hi all, Having been back to BBO for a while, I just want to share my recent experience playing with random strangers on BBO. The probability to meet either a teacher or rude player ( or both) is clearly much higher than 10 years ago. If you have a group of friends who are often online, would be great. But I don't see BBO as a comfortable platform for playing with strangers any more. [removed links with usernames] Cheers, Ying
