I suggest that game hosts be allowed to deny entry to a game of persons they wish not to enter.

Isn't that what blacklisting players does?

I've heard complaints about blacklisting not working... I think trolls get round it because although the game is not advertised to those blacklisted, they can easily send themselves a link through an alt then accept. Also, this is a more direct approach.

Does blacklist not prevent this? Never tested it I guess.

Don't use open seats and invite people manually?

Blacklist prevents folk, I know this for a fact.

blacklisting prevents anyone who's in the blacklist of the host to join the game
however if you're not the host and some player who's BLed by you joins,you can't stop him from playing

situation becomes worse when you're playing a team game and you're assigned in the same team with the BLed player
but since the Host didn't BL that player you have no say in whether he/she gets to play or not
i suggest there be a countdown of 10 before the game starts(usually after all seats are filled)so we could decide to play with BLed player or not,and a warning of BLed player joining the game as well

There's already an idea similar to this on the uservoice; it was rejected.

I would like the option of booting players from a lobby (before the game starts)

Poseidonas, I thought that you could remove someone from a game before it starts on the 'Add or Remove Players' tab. Maybe that's only in scenarios.

You can only remove folk if they have not accepted nor declined yet.

In my opinion people need to lighten up its a videogame, the blacklist system is fine the way it is. I blacklisted brettyoke for his racist comments, ive been put in games with him sometimes. As the beatles said "obladi oblada"

blacklist prevents this already.
