Totally irrelevant.
What does it matter if the player makes his moves between 9am and 3pm or 3pm and 10pm or 10pm and 8am?
Lets say they have 20 games and make 1 move per game each day at 5pm. How will this make a difference to the game you are playing with them?

Why does that make it any different?
The player moves, you move. The player may only move once per day. They could say they will play from 6pm but start at 5pm or not come on till 8pm.
Even multiple movers is a misnomer. They may only move once per day in a game but make 500 moves per day. Are they are multiple mover from the pot of view of a player that wants to make 10-15 moves or more in the game each day?

A simple solution may be something along the lines of stressing certain points in open invite game title: 'SEE MY PROFILE before taking game please.' In your profile create your 'ideals'..eg, 'playing from GMT, make many moves after 19:00hrs and if you enjoy likewise than I'm your man'...you can change it according to your game commitments. Nothing works smoothly in open invites if all you have is 6games to play with but you can limit the lottery by being as clear as possible with your game goals...

maybe a better idea would be to ask for non-sub mulitple movers when he's starting a game. or just play he same people over and over again who he knows play often when he's on.

I am looking at it from that POV.
We're playing correspondence chess, not blitz. If it matters, you should change your time-out settings.

Imagine a 3day and a 7day timeout. An opponent can move every other day in both of them without losing any timeout.
What the OP is suggesting is what time of day the moves are most likely to be played- so chances are you can do a few moves with the opponent during that time.

The only way to guarantee multiple moves per game is to play blitz.
