how is the blacklist supposed to work ?
just added a name there but the played could still join my table. ?
Sounds like you're using it right; you just need to add a name there. I just tested it with two accounts on my computer and it seems to work. (I also learned that if you have the game set to "request to join," the blacklisted player is not automatically denied, but even if you accept, they will be auto-booted then.)
My first guess is that you're entering the name incorrectly; Goko player names are case-sensitive, so I left the blacklist case-sensitive as well. The problem with this, of course, is that sometimes it's hard to tell when a username has capital letters...I might be able to add a 'blacklist' button to the little popup that shows the player's record, casual rating, pro rating, and quit percentage (and the 'Kick' button when they're sitting at your table in the lobby) so that it doesn't rely on you typing it just right.
Even though it is pretty unlikely to happen, I ('michaeljb') wouldn't want to be autobooted from someone's game because they didn't want to play with 'Michaeljb,' and I don't want that to happen to other people either, so I'd like to keep it case-sensitive.
I think I'll try to add a button; that way if you do type in the name wrong, you can just click on their avatar in the lobby and blacklist them there.
