I HAVE DELETED MANY GAMES
-
"Game host has recently deleted many games. Cannot start new games for a while."
I have received the above message for the past day when trying to host or join a game. I have indeed recently deleted many games but only because some players here have found a way to join my games without the usual permission granted. How long will this ban last please? Thank you.

Carny, unfortunately app/phone users can just sit at a table without permission. I type "no thanks" and wait for them to leave. It can be quite annoying but better than the result you get when deleting them all.
@MapmakerE That is what I do. I am very apologetic about it but they have the right to know. I guess it hangs them up for a while too and they have to listen to a bunch of ads. I censor them before the game times out too. From what I understand Lex generates these games for them so they don't necessarily choose us. Not sure if that is true or not but definitely a glitch that should be fixed for everyone's sake.

That's probably what I ought to do too! Normally I just delete the game immediately. Haven't received the "deleted too many games" message... yet!

@MapmakerE Greetings. I usually play via my phone and I am unaware of the permission granted. If I want to join a game that is hosted and waiting for a player, I just click accept and then I am in. Occasionally the person will decline the game (as you did once), but I don't recall getting a "no thanks."
Wondering what your criteria is for playing/not playing someone.
Come to think of it, I guess when I play at my computer I get an "accept/decline" option. On the app I think the only criterion is rating. If I set a window, someone outside cannot play, inside, the game starts upon them accepting it. -

@carnybarker To answer your question, this happened to me once. I think it was only for a few hours. Maybe longer, i don't know.

Does the app only use rating as the main factor for starting a game?

@jhon-steve if I don't like the time parameters I won't play. For example a 10-minute game is too long and I think it allows the other person the opportunity to cheat. Not that I'm super paranoid about it but I prefer to avoid it so I play five to seven minute games. Also in the app you can use the slider bar to limit the range of your opponent. I played around 17 to 1800 so I'm not going to accept a game from any of those a-holes that are up in the 2400 range.
