Cicero? What's the status on the thread merge? I guess this one's going to die like all the others, eh?

Thanks for the suggestion that I help you merge the threads, Cicero. Given your complete lack of responsiveness in PM and here in the thread, I have at least learned not to bother wasting my time by taking such a suggestion again.

This person is on your foed list, join game anyway?

Post by DarthBlood »

i joined a game a few minutes ago with someone i foed a while back, and i didn't KNOW i foed him until i checked his profile and saw "add friend, remove foe". now, i'm stuck playing this guy, who uses cheap tactics like there's no tomorrow...

i'm suggesting that there's a prompt that tells you "_____ is on your foed list, join game anyway?"
how it'll make this site better: you'll know that there's someone you foed that is in the game.

I know this has been suggested before, but I like how you worded the warning and gave a choice to still join the game.

Good idea, makes sense to me. It can appear in a red-highlighted box like what happens if you try and join a speed game when you're not premium.

A very good suggestion which, sadly, has been suggested many times before. In fact, your specific recommendation to the idea (which I do like) has been discussed in at least a couple of those threads. I'm not saying this to come down on you or to say you should have done a search...just mentioning it. I very much wish to see this approved, but despite what seems to me to be significant popularity and very little dissent, it has never been given serious consideration and died every time.

I said something much like this.Possibly much like a note when you add some1 to your foe a sign like red stop sign or yellow caution should be able to be attached also so you know they are on foe.I think its complete unfair that if some1 foe'd you they can still join in your games.Kinda makes no sense but people do it all the time.

I noticed in one of my games there is someone on my ignore list. I know that this list will avoid them joining any of your games, but can it be set so you can't accidently enter a game they are in, period?
I tried it in the "join games" area as well....entered a game on purpose with someone on my ignore list in it, and it let me. (I of course, dropped that game).
Maybe a pop up or something similar saying "This person is on your ignore list. Are you sure you want to join?"
I apologize if this has been brought up before. I checked around briefly, and didn't see it.

So this has seriously been PENDING since 2006? Uh...this would make life SO much easier if it could get implemented someday...

Does that actually seem like an effective, logical fix to you?

I might be wrong, but I believe that is when the thread started, but it has been pending for a few months.

Yes, it is quite logical. Since it resolves what some perceive to be a problem.

It is a highly inefficient and cumbersome fix for something that should actually be quite simple and very easy to implement.

And has been since July of 2006. Is this really that difficult/time consuming of a fix?
