Hello,
I prefer to play with polite, and preferably friendly players.
In many / most cases players who arrive in the room without a profile and do not say anything (not even a polite hello OR goodbye) appear to be very impolite.
Most of the players I play with regularly have similar objections to seemingly grumpy players, many also are advanced and even some experts, which one could hope to see a better example from.
In most cases - in my experience - these are also the players that sometimes blurt out demands or reprimands to their partners and/or leave suddenly when either they make a mistake or their partner does.
I find this sort of play objectionable, and mark seriously impolite players thus as enemies.
While I understand that we cannot demand players complete their profile - is there a way that players who have been marked as enemies by many or multiple people be made public or visible to other players? E.g. - how many other people have marked them as an enemy?
And, if this becomes generally known in BBO perhaps this would help players understand that being impolite could diminish their playing chances?

And, if there are any general tips to help make BBO a friendlier place - please publish them, I'm all for it.
Keep up the great work - fantastic site!

Thanks
Nic

Offline bridge means topics that are not about online bridge.

lol, another one, at east your suggestion makes sense althou ou have a zero chance of they implementing it, accesing private info for users to make it public to dismish other users is not profitable for any company.
