[Rules Update] Inactive Players Drop Waiting Games

[Dukasaur]

The following Suggestion has been implemented:
Subject: Auto-drop waiting games

Make players automatically drop all their waiting games after a defined period of inactivity.

Henceforth inactive players will be dropped from their waiting games. Inactive is defined as "not on the scoreboard." In other words, "has not taken a turn in 30 days."

Many thanks to bigWham for this update, and thanks to Donelladan for pushing through this idea!!!

Not bad, however i have seen some active players being invited to games that have played within the last 30 days, but we cant invite them.

Inclusive of original host of games and those games if no one else has joined get obliterated?

That's the general idea. The system has a limit to how many it will drop in one day, and there are a lot of them, so you may still see some for a while.

There is a way to do it disregarding the 30 days:

Code: Select all

[to]1000000 Password[/to]

This is preventing the player to join a casual game to re-activate the count of 30 days without activity, very helpfull for tournament organizer

Thanks for implementing this

Mad, please explain your first post.

[Dukasaur]

Mad, please explain your first post.

If a player has been inactive 30 days, he is not eligible to be invited to a game through the invite system. However, you can still invite him the old-fashioned way, by sending him a PM with a join link.

Code: Select all

[to]1000000 Password[/to]

Replace the 1000000 with the game number and Password with the game password.

Okay, thanks.
