I suppose the dummy often thinks they would play a hand differently, but so many seem to think it's all right to put a string of question marks across the chat area when their partner is playing a hand. I want to ask them if they would like to stop the game and confer with their partner, so partner can explain the logic involved. I realize the rude behavior will continue, but it is so annoying. I appreciate the enemy list. :)

dummy must remain silent. call the director to enforce.

plus they are obviously suggesting an alternative line of play, that's just cheating.

There is no director in the MBC, where OP plays all of his BBO bridge :blink:

Alibar: If you start your own table in the MBC, you can give each player one warning about such rudeness, then eject them from the table if they continue.

PTerry has it right (and IMHO applies equally to question marks): "Multiple exclamation marks...are a sure sign of a diseased mind." I'd be tempted to quote that in table chat, "not to anyone in particular".

But I'm not known to be nice.
