Is there a way to report abusive players? I just encountered someone who used very ugly language about the bidding, then put the hand in 7NT and left. And it's not the first time I've seen that kind of behavior, but this was the worst. Upsetting. What can be done??

Also, in the web client, there in a "Report abuse" button when you look at any profile.

At least your opp, West had 6 points to open 7NT, because at another table South opened it 7NT on 4 points!
Not sure that I've ever seen the same grand bid in both directions on the same board?!

Why would anyone do this?

Because they are sociopaths?

This particular player played in 19 7NT contracts in the past month. I didn't check every hand but every one I looked at this player immediately bid 7NT at the first opportunity with random hands.

There's one player on BBO who sits in the main bridge club and psychs every single hand. Literally, over a thousand times in the last month (averaging -2 imps/board). Have reported them numerous times, yet nothing happens. I guess they enjoy upsetting every player that is unfortunate to join and BBO doesn't care.

Gosh, joining a bridge site with the sole purpose of upsetting people? I guess the only option is to open the table or match and only allow friends or BBO friends to play.
