I keep getting personal messages from tournament organizers trying to round up people for their tournament. I have seen this particular TD in action and have absolutely no desire to play in what it is that they set up.

I think spamming users for the purpose of increasing attendance is inappropriate.

I agree, ask to be removed from the list of recipients.

I've received such messages. I simply set them as an enemy (and don't receive chat messages from enemies).

That's what I do too. I think I only have a couple dozen enemies or so, so it works just fine.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.
