Did anyone notice that some are trying to make public announcements through open invites by creating an open invite only for >2400 or 2500 which can not be accepted by any RHP player (According to player tables only Akizy may accept some of them)?
Is there a way to stop this?

Noticed that too - wish there was a way to stop it, as it is annoying as hell. There are forums for those types of announcements and promotions. Should be a way for moderators to remove games from the open invite list. Does anyone know if this can be done?

Can't believe people haven't used it for advertising yet,

e.g.

RATING......GAME NAME
>2500........Add three inches to your girth, call ****.

Am sure it is only a matter of time. Do people really think that users will react positively to these types of activities?

You can't ban them, there are no rules prohibiting them. But it is annoying, those games need to be deleted.

Ahhh, Xanthos! Always the entrepreneur. Getting the bucks back from the FIDE Championship bet perhaps?

Transferring this to the Site Ideas forum might achieve something so I'm going to do it in just a tick.

Do you have an international number I can dial? Why does spam ALWAYS assume I'm in America?!

What is that, your mobile or something?

PS International dialling, you drop the initial zero.
