I suggest adding “block all tournament invitations” option, similar to “block all chat” option that you already have. Probably the optimal way to do it is to follow the same pattern and give you an options to block separately invitations from enemies, and lobby, i.e. to let you allow only invitations from friends.

I think this tool would be also useful for a lot of players, those who are very popular/famous so they get too many invitations, or for people who are simply not interested in playing, except maybe with their friends etc. I often see those kind of messages on somebody’s profile (e.g. “please do not send me invitations, I will not accept”), so I am sure many people will be grateful if that feature is added.

Sadly, there is an another angle to it. A player I was playing recently has some guy apparently obsessed with her, if she tries to play with somebody else he found the way to essentially prevent her from playing by constantly sending her tournaments invitations, rapid-fire style, which blocks the view of the table (at least until you refuse invitation, but then comes the next one right away).

So with adding this feature you can also completely isolate yourself from malicious users, unfortunately I am sure this not the only case of this type.

Thx for the info!
Does it have an option for "blanket" reject (except maybe for your friends or whoever you somehow approved to send you invitations) , or you have to specifically name the payers from whom you want to reject invitations? The first option would be much more useful I think.

Thx again,

You have to specify the list of ppl you do not want to reject in a file. If you leave the file empty, it will reject all. So, it matches the first option you state.

On a tangent, I'd like fairly selective invite block:

Block all invites EXCEPT:

Tourneys I've registed in as looking for partner
Any requests from friends any time

In the tool, you can do friends but not Tourneys which you have registered.

Would be an interesting feature to add though, but unfortunately I don't have time to work on that tool.
