Noplay list?

    Does there exist sth like "noplay list" for live chess? I mean a way to permanently avoid playing against specific player (not seeing his seeks and match requests, having my seeks protected from being accepted by him).

    (looking for a way to honor my opponent who, once he recognized his position as lost, decided to wait out 8 minutes of his remaining time instead of resigning or finishing the game)

    Some people wanted to start one, but it's just too easy to abuse.

    The site says that you cant single out people that way.

    I'm sure some members might have some lists that you can look at.

    But this seems to be about correspondence chess, not live chess...

    This really needs to be addressed.  There are players who make a point of being obnoxious, and members should be allowed to make sure that they do not play that person again.

    TadDude is correct about his link. It's the only way to do what you're talking about.

    If somebody is is in a dead lost position and drags a game out weeks on end just to be an ass, I would like the option to noplay them.  So we are not matched up again in any circumstance.

    What do you mean abuse?

    What do you mean, single out? 

    If somebody is obscene or difficult, why should I be obliged to play them?

    Exactly.  All a noplay list would do is make sure that, outside of a tournament, you would never play a game with that person, and you would not see each other's sought games.  Every other site I have played on that has live chess (outside of Yahoo and such) has the ability to do this. 

    The abuse comes in when I have to abort several games in a row because the same person accepts my sought game over and over after they were rude to me, and I do not want to play them again.
