I am not sure if this feature is there or not - if yes, please let me know
If not, this is desirable - basically, what i want is that for team games - currently all the open positions are locked and I have to click on one and get permission to join - which, if is not the intention of the host, I don't want to bother him/her - what I would like is to have an open position being signified as such so that I can just click and join - without inconveniencing the host
Thanks

The host will always get asked for permission and it probably needs to work this way. For example, a pair may negotiate to play and you don't want only one to get the place.

Most hosts are also choosy :)

If the host does not want random people playing but wants to invite friends not currently online, they can use the +private+ in the description.

Thanks for your reply - That makes sense
A further improvement would be to give host the option - he can either keep it restricted (for his friends/team mates) or keep it open - then, anyone can join by clicking on the 'Open' seat - saving permission reply by host
Thanks again

After hosting two or three games with that set off, they will never do it again, I betcha.
