Well,hordes of people named 'Guest HELLO' just kept going onto games,slowing them down because they were not playin' nor pressing the 'End Turn' button,spamming their chatbox with exclamation marks.
Are they some kind of organized group who decided to spam a nice game?I don't think so,I tend to think they are spam bots,since they have ALL the same name.
Also,it is kind of stupid to keep spamming a whole evening.
Your opinion on this?

For now, just kick the Guest Hellos and dont let them in your games.
Maybe Lopdo can make a limit to number of logins there are per ip address.

guests are automatically ready and can't unready themselves and I implemented spam prevention (not best there is but better than nothing

)

yeah. while i was posting something, this poped up:
Teaching that homosexuality is a sin is not hate speach. It rather speaks to a moral compass. Love the sinner, hate the sin. It takes an incredible amount of self-control to choose to not act on feelings that are outside of the natural law. Oh right, never mind...natural law is a foreign concept these days. To tell me what I can and can't teach in the privacy of my home is a bit much. Acting on same sex attraction is a sin, just as sex outside of marriage is also a sin (promiscuity). To protect my childrens' hearts and give them a moral compass is "discriminatory"...really?? My children are quite educated on all aspects of sexuality and reproduction, probably more so than most. We don't just say "don't". We say why.
whats up with that? your system might have a virus...

Just use settings "no guests" when you create a game, then the problem is solved..

This is from last June. They didn't have anything like that back then. They didn't even have ME as a user back then.
