    Sometimes someone joins my live game and apparently decides they don't want to play. Most of the time they wait until their turn times out and the game is deleted.

    Is there a difference between doing this and just clicking on 'delete game' in the menu?

    I certainly would prefer if they didn't waste two minutes of my time by sitting if there is no difference!

      @zaph I know that if you delete too many games in too short a time, you get a window saying this. I can set a table but no one can join nor can I join someone else's. ec9c4f8b-0114-4264-816a-8c08e6995338-image.png
      I don't know what the magic numbers of deletes and time are, but the other night I deleted 3 in an hour or so, and was unable to play for 12 hrs.
      This doesn't answer your question; it's more a warning about deleting. 🙂

        Interesting, I forgot about that weird temporary ban.

        Personally I think they should make that trigger a lot higher-- like if you delete more than 1/3 of your games you get a warning, etc.
