microcap Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Just had something new happen to me...I was advertising for a TM on the old software. Having trouble finding players, I must have advertised too many times..all of the sudden, the software logged me out, and when I tried to log back in, I was banned for 2 minutes for spamming? What gives? thanks in advance.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jandrew Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 oooo-errr I sometimes ask (by general chat in a Public Club) for volunteers to join a Teams Match, and have to repeat myself to get the required eight players. How near am I to being dumped for "spamming" :( jandrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diana_eva Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Send the invitations less frequently. If same message scrolls on lobby chat continuously, with no other messages in between, it is considered spam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jandrew Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 :) Phew. I feel safe. My reminders are several minutes apart - there are lots of messages in between and I rarely ask more than twice (plus the original request). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FM75 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 :)Lobby!! ROFL - That is sooo old school. Do you realize you for half the BBO world - there is no "Lobby"? Maybe you should be asking for a better way to promote tournaments. I bet BBO would give it to you - if only to get you off the old software. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seldom have trouble finding 8 players, today was unusual.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seldom have trouble finding 8 players, today was unusual....There are some excellent new features related to starting team matches that are coming soon in the web-client. I strongly suggest you give it another try after the new version is released. This aspect of the web-client (among many others) will be far superior to that which exists in the Windows client. Keep an eye on the BBO news. An announcement will appear (likely within a week or so) when the new version of the web-client is made available.
