Betsy35 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Has anyone else notice the latest trend on BBO i.e. to eject your partner when you stuff up yourself? Does anyone else feel that the standard of sportsmanship and general behaviour is deteriorating steadily? Is this a 'Lord of the Flies' scenario? Just sayin'.

Not a new trend, unfortunately :( The worst and nastiest players eject the most :( Perhaps the software should record this and allow you to set an appropriate filter.

barmar Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 We used to keep track of table hosts who do lots of booting, I'm not sure if we still do it any more. Anyway, if you don't like the behavior of other table hosts, you can always start your own table. Then you get to make the rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

661_Pete Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 This hasn't happened to me too often - thankfully! But one point I'd like to note: it's impossible for the other two players at the table (i.e. not the host and not the person booted) to tell, whether a player has been 'booted', or whether they have left of their own accord. Would it be possible for the software to be amended so as to make this information visible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be possible for the software to be amended so as to make this information visible? I agree with this request. I would also like the software to be amended so as to require host to supply a motive for booting a player, to communicate this motive to the player booted and to register this information against both players for future analysis.
