I have noticed recently....... Rejects..........While i respect opps rejecting,without declaring,possible line of play. but it alerts declarer a trump may be outstanding.
fair enough.

What my objection is--say contract is suit,or maybe n/t........
around say trick 9 dummy has AKQ10 of a suit unused,,trumps all gone,or if n/t contract.one has cashed winner in opps led suit no more,so one now declares in hand with J x of dummys suit,so one declares--------- still one gets a rejection.when opponents can see all the cards,am i being unreasonable,or should one never declare........sometimes an opponent fed up leaves the table unnanounced and locks the table up with his name in red.as host one cannot remove them-this also happens many times. this wastes a lot of time and spoils
the pleasure of the 3 remaing players.ANY HELP TO THIS SITUATION PROBLEM (A).

Another annoying point----- example. with a profile showing-as opposed to nothing,and to boot "No Information" and Private....WITH OPPS

the bidding proceeds... Opp dealer bids 1cl--you now bid 1diam-before anyone else bids, up comes "Enquiry" to explain i assume what 1 diam is????????????
who has made the enquiry?--is it the 1cl bidder or the 1cl pard????? if the 1cl bidder has made the enquiry "Unethical"------and if its the 1cl responder,thats either cofee housing/or being unethical---in these situations the 1d bidder me should know who asked------- to maintain a level ply field. ANY HELP TO THIS SITUATION
PROBLEM (:(--------- to sum up im a pretty relaxed bidder and player,with no axe to grind,just trying to understand what is going on--------------Regards

I don't know about the web-Client, but with the Windows client my impression is that if you miss "Accept" by a pixel your click is transmitted as "reject".

My impression is that many rejects are due to time-out of the claim request.

Yes they appear as rejected if they time-out, also they are automatically rejected if one of the players has connection problems.
