Resolved: Barring specific players from...

Is there a way to bar specific players from accepting one of your open challenges? Open may be the wrong term, since open would imply everyone.

What I mean is that when you issue challenges on the graph in order to get a game, anyone can accept right? Then if the person who accepts is this particular player, you would have to abort the game to avoid them. And aborting games is frowned upon, yes?

So is there some way to bar only one particular player from getting into a game with you when you are seeking a game?

Thanks. I tried to use the search function but nothing came up with my search terms.

you have to block that one player, under Home > Account > Privacy

scroll down for block, enter members call sign,

Thanks for your reply Anna. I went to where  you directed me and did scroll down to blocking where I found this: "Blocked members will be unable to post on your Notes section or send you Messages".

This does not say anything about blocking a member from responding to my games challenges, only notes and messages.

" Blocking someone means that you will not be paired with them in open challenges."

Hi Tad, thanks for adding the rest of the "story". Anna was right, I see, just didn't quite explain it all the way thru.
