Chick Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 I have found that some people in the reject.txt list get rejected, but some do not. Can you think of anything that might cause this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpace Posted May 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 I have found that some people in the reject.txt list get rejected, but some do not. Can you think of anything that might cause this? Can you pm me the names (from the reject_log.txt) and the names from the reject.txt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 I had a case today where someone was rejected correctly, then they clicked again and the permission showed. Not sure if this might have been the case in the past or not. I don't want to post names here, but if you email me at yodercm@earthlink.net, I'll send you the files.

Thanks, that is a useful information, I will see if I can reproduce it myself. One more question, did you have the tool read the allowed.txt or reject.txt when that happened? What kind of reject was it? Team invite/Tourney/Request to join table/...? Also, sorry I should have been clearer and not used abbreviations. You can personal message me, not post it here. This forum supports personal messages, which is practically like email between two BBO forums members. No one else can see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackthelad Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Hi, The rejector is a fine tool and does exactly what it says on the label, however there are two new idiot offenders on BBO. 1) the idiot that has a program to generate invites 10000 at a time and 2) a few idiots that have discovered that you can keep hitting the invitation key and generate numerous invitations. Both these groups are currently active and will bombard you if you reject their inviation to sit at your table. The Invite rejector handles both, but it does stop one from setting up a table in the lobby and filtering applications to join, which is the only way to get a reasonable game. One cannot just make the offenders an enemy, nor can you have a reject list as these idiots use many many different nicks. Would it be possible to add a filter, so that players can be accepted at a table, but team and tourney invitations are rejected ? I am an ex assembler systems and O/S programmer and can write in C+, given an outline of the program I could write a routine to do this, but I currently havn't got a clue as to the windows comms interfaces, or I would do it myself. Any chance of some help ? Regards Ian Cowper ( jackthelad ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance of some help ? Regards Ian Cowper ( jackthelad ) Hi Ian, Thank you for the feedback. This is an interesting feature which is currently missing from the tool and could potentially be useful. One question, though: Do you know the nicks of people who are going to join your table? If yes, then you can run the toll in the accept mode (README.txt will have details), where you only accept invites from the set of people you list in the accept file. (This file can be edit while you are running the tool, it will read the changes). Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi,I do not know the nicks of people that will join, that would be easy :)...I want to set up an EXPERT table, manually filtering out enemies and poor players using the standard BBO accept/decline, whilst running the invite rejector to block people that flood the "invitations" because they have been rejected. There is at least one person that is currently flooding me, and as far as I can ascertain at least three other players. He is not the Turkish moron that has a program to send 10,000 invites ( that really does hang the PC ) he/she just taps the inviation key on the tourney invitation routine, which just makes it difficult to play. This person uses different nicks/countries every time they perform the flooding, so it is hard to get them banned. Uday does however have the IP address of one of them and imposed a weeks ban. It would be useful to trap the nick of the flooder as this would help in pursuing them and imposing sanctions. Regards Ian Cowper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Ian Cowper Hi Ian, The nicks of the offenders do get recorded in a log file (don't remember the name of the file, but it is a .log file). You might want to check the directory where you installed the tool. About the other feature request, I will see what I can do. I believe I have your email address. I might be able to provide you with a new version of the tool which does what you ask (no ETA as of now though). -Trumpace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
