That's very strange. I removed you from the Auto-join list the other day; were you still getting auto-joins? You were still in the regular program sending pm's to your inbox, but those are opt-in games.

Please send me a pm with the details.

The invites are generated by the system. When a player signs up for a guide game the system searches for a guide who is online and sends the message. If there are multiple guides online, it rotates through them. The are two ways to decrease the number of invites you get: #1, fewer new players signing up; or #2, getting more guides in the program and online at the same time.

#3, Implement a way for guides to set a maximum number of games they should be auto-joined to, like I suggested here. And which, incidentally, would also help with #2 because fewer people would drop out of the Super Guide program.

Ooge, you are out of the super guides. But you will still get pm invites. These are not auto-joins, but you have to opt-in to get them. I hope that helps. Thanks for your service.

Move to the pm invites system. You'll get a lot of pm's, but you can opt in as needed when you're available to play games

Could you remove me from the PM invites list. I have never used them as I always join through the global chat. I'll keep doing my bit via this route though :-)

Thanks
