This happens all the time, some guy from a lobby shows up in the chat of a different lobby and spams a link to his own. It is extremely annoying, especially when the affected lobby have been waiting for a long time for players to fill up. If players wanted information about other lobbies they'd go to the main lobby list themselves. I think banning this behavior have no downsides.

I loosely enforce this.  In the past, I have gone to that lobby and banned that individual from that lobby.


Hey on another note, possibly block posting of lobby URLs to a lobby's chat.

What would be funny is if it would also kick the person posting out of any slot that they occupy.

Blocking the links completely would be great, but also kicking people from their slots for it would be too much. It'd just punish people who don't yet understand how the site works for being obnoxious.

I would encourage players to tell the player advertising to fill whatever lobby was up first. That way it can be solved in a more friendly matter. But I guess on the other hand, some players want to play a different map and will slowly migrate over...


It's been fun, thanks for the ride.
