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..

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" :(

At least you were not required to sit in the corner for 2 minutes.

Send the invitations less frequently. If same message scrolls on lobby chat continuously, with no other messages in between, it is considered spam.

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).

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. ;)

It is my impression that organizing and starting team matches is much harder with the client software, which is why I stick with the old one. 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.
