The last few months it has been normal, that TDs ask for subs for tourneys 5-10 or more time in the chatroom. Often it is all within a minute or two. Fills up the chatroom, and there is not even a chance to read a message, before the next one turns up.

Maybe the pastefunktion could be turned of.

The reason that happens is the TD has no subs in their list of substitutes when they try to replace a player, and they get a message saying to try again in a minute. Most don't wait that long, they keep trying to obtain a sub for their missing player.

Set the spammer to enemy and you won't have to read any more messages from him.

The message is generated automatically by BBO when a TD tries to sub a player and there are no subs available.
Its generally not a good idea to have TD's on ignore. ;)

I have a number of ACBL directors on my enemy list so that I don't have to read the spam they generate during the first round of a tournament.

Clear chat window, it erases all previous chat in the chat area.
Is the word "pass" not in your vocabulary?
