Butchie T Posted June 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 Any idea on how to eliminate being incessantly asked to play in someone's "pipe"dream team game? Thanks Let me be clearer, sorry. When I'm "loitering" and looking to sub around somewhere, I'll receive a barrage of requests to substitute in any of a plethora of "Team" games. When I decline twice, I must then reregister to sub. Rinse. Repeat. Any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 No idea sorry, I would guess that there is no filtering function available to subs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pescetom Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 Let me be clearer, sorry. When I'm "loitering" and looking to sub around somewhere, I'll receive a barrage of requests to substitute in any of a plethora of "Team" games. When I decline twice, I must then reregister to sub. Rinse. Repeat. Any help? It's not a new request and I imagine it has some merit. I never figured out either why a player should wish to substitute unknown dropouts or a Director should prefer random humans as substitute with a robot available, but to each his own medicine.

pilowsky Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 It's incredibly annoying.Multiple requests have been made to fix it and nothing happens.Apparently it's possible to land on the moon with the computing power of an HP125 calculator but not possible to specify the type of game you're available to sub for.Perhaps when the server is upgraded from an abacus it can be implemented. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsLawsd Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 My sympathies as I prefer to open a table with 3 robots, spec VuGraphs deals and compare results to being punished in any sub game :rolleyes: But other players have just put something in their profile asking No team games, no random invites. Best I can think of at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YesHoney Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 Have you tried "invisible" log in? You might be able to still register as a sub and yet remain invisible to the rest of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pulsar17 Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 In the settings, there is a Notifications section. Turn off the one for "Notify me when a team match needs players". This has always been there (for years, at least). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepossum Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 It never happens to me. I must not be a good enough player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has always been there (for years, at least). Thanks but this particular notification has always been turned off. The problem is a function of registering as a sub. There are no filters on this tab. I enjoy sitting in for a hand or two in a random game but "Team Games" border on not being real bridge.

We'd walk 50 miles across broken glass to get home from school where dad would cut off our thumbs.Now I can only count in base 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
