We have all used the ignore user facility at some point. I was wondering if there would be a way to stop people entering your game as a watcher. I find it very annoying when they enter your room and constantly talk to the other player.

It would be good if a warning appeared ie ace would like to watch your game- accept/decline.

This gives us the choice of allowing people into the room or not. Also stops people being in the room that you don't want there.

What's your thoughts on this?

tbh, u shud make ur game a private game if u dnt want people watching. or, you click their names and ignore them. or if ur really that bothered.. put scelotape accross ur screen, where the names are, that way, you wont know when someones watching

......then the pop up saying accept or decline will become an issue with others.....as it may distract them
If you are entering someone elses game then it throws the theory out of the window as you wont have control who enters as it will be upto the room creator, If it went ahead......
Good Idea in Theory
Mixed Ideas In Practise

I agree with bandit. It could create more problems than it solves.

But spenny's point is good, and it'd be nice if something could be done, as there are a few players who enter rooms to 'support' friends and distract their opponents. Even worse when a whole bunch of them do it.

I wonder if a room-boot button might not be a bad idea. It could be available to both players in a game, and if a watcher is annoying either player, that player could just boot him out the room with a 15 min block on returning. The room-boot button would have to only work on watchers, not players, obviously.

Having said all that - just as easy to ignore I suppose...

i think it would be a good idea as there are some stalkers out there

Hmmm funny how all the numerous times i've brought this up before everyone just said "use the ignore button"...
