A Beginners Wish.......

I think it would be a great help if the Table Details/Description  could be made into a Required field.  When starting a Table the Host would have to enter some detail before the table could be activated.

Last time I logged in there were 111 tables in play

60 had the Permission Required enabled BUT not one of those had bothered to elaborate in any way as to what criteria the host was seeking   -   yet  people complain because it gets awkward trying to sort out who to accept   ! ? !               Maybe  most / some  of the 'visitors' wouldn't ask if they knew they didn't qualify  ?

Only FOUR had used the field and only two of those had actually gone into any detail.    I bet they weren't overly bothered by unwanted 'visitors'

The other 42+% had neither table descriptions or any restrictions   -   which is extremely annoying and makes it virtually impossible for Beginners to find 'friendly' seats.        By the time one has scanned the profiles of those at the tables - zap the seat has gone  !  :'( There is no  point in my sitting at a table where the three resident players are playing a system one knows nothing about  - as 'newbies' we know darn all about the system we're  -  learning !!  ;D   )  

At least with compulsory Table Descriptions one could just scan the Host name.

..........now if it could be compulsory to read the description before being able to sit  - happy Hosts   ...................
