That is fine.

Oh, it says it in the History link window, but not on the main post :P

There's nothing formally spelled out in the rules about taking a pre-game enmity into a game and deliberately sabotaging another player but it clearly constitutes unsportsmanlike behavior.

So, going forward I've blocked you both from joining each other's games. Hopefully that will be an end to the matter.

Tom,

I am good with your decision to double block.

The creation of games with my name and Inflammatory / libelous accusations in the title ("MD is a cheater" is an example) by AD must be stopped. Creating a policy to prevent this would be good for the members and the owners of the site from a legal perspective. While I do not intend to push the issue, others in the future may. If such a policy is implemented by the site, I would recommend a ban for multiple offenses (>1).

Thank you, MD.

Is this still happening? If so let me know.

A possible solution for this kind of problem is to block the enemy list from joining games from the host. That seems fair to me, as the host cannot withdraw himselve from a game he made.

Normally I would have said that in the interest of fairness to the ratings - blocking should not be an alternative. But I believe this logic holds water; it has a reasonable balancing feel to it.

I do believe that one can now withdraw from their own game if they don't like the crowd, or if it's a team game and you want to withdraw to rejoin it to be on a different team.  But, if one were feeling harassed it would hardly be fair to have them being chased from their own games even if withdraw is possible!

are you sure?

in a team game - I think you're right - Certainly, you can pull out of a team in a tournament by leaving the whole thing and then rejoin but in a regular game?

Nope, don't know why he has dug this up again.. your solution worked perfectly.
