First one is a question, what's the difference between muting and ignoring a player?
Secondly, why do people insist on asking for undos? If you slip alot, get a better mouse. If you can't afford a better mouse, stop playing games online and get another job or work more hours. If I slip (which I did, on a queen, vs the #3 ranked player), I resign without a complaint. I might say 'oops slip' or 'oops blunder' but I don't complain. And no, people who ask for undos frequently are NOT concerned about your development as a chess player (see a previous post), they are concerned about their win/loss record and/or rating. Trust me on this one

Muting a player via /m PLAYER_NAME affects chat.
No chat from that player will be received during the current playing session
Ignoring a player via /i PLAYER_NAME affects invitations. No invitations from that player will be received during the current playing session
Hmm, how about another command

/b Name - Permanently banning them from joining your table even as a watcher for the duration of the playing session! That would be a very nice one. So many annoying people here.

the proposed /b option makes sense
We'll add it to our job jar. It should appear after the next game ( canasta ) is in place here

I'll be very happy to see this feature implemented. Is there an approximate timetable for the release of Canasta? I know a few friends who would be interested in that game.

CANASTA is a game in progress. Happy to hear you are interested in Canasta as we expect it 'soon'. Prgramming is a bit more complex than some games but you can be sure it will be working great before it is available online here. While we are waiting you can certainly invite your friends to register, play a few other games, get comfortable with the site and the various information available to our players here. When Canasta is up and running smoothly your friends will be familiar with the site already and be ready to play that wonderful old game, Canasta.. wahooo !
Another idea

Why not make 'Ladder' option the default when creating tables? It would surely make for more ladder tables in the lounge and if people don't want them, they can simply turn it off. I don't see why anybody would be against this idea. If you want to play for fun, you can play more than once at a ladder table, it will still count for rating. I think this would revitalize the ladder and get more activity going, as well as people (like myself) to get more ladder games instead of having to sit 15 minutes between games. That's what happens when you are interested only in the ladder, not in rating. What do y'all think?

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
