UPDATE! Why people are getting barred.
When I seen how many people were getting barred,too many for abuse reports.i knew it was a yahoo glitch! Here is whats going on.Yahoo installed Spam bot trackers in lounges to stop = bar them, from games.It tracks Ids and how many changes they make.EXAMPLE ! Now say you enter a Intermediate lounge with a 1500 ID.
You hop into a table,get booted,try 3 more,booted,now you go to beginners lounge.BARRED! spam bot tagged you! This is how I thing it works! Automatic 24 hrs 1 st time,48 hr the next,72 hrs 3rd time. 4th time account closed! I am already seeing a few people with this problem.This is really bad for tourney directors how need to hop from table to table.Yahoo can not help you! To many reports from Bots and players asking Why! By the time they get to yours times up!Try this when playing.Select a lounge matching your rating.when you get in,spend a few minutes checking table player’s rates.pick a table,join and play a few games before changing tables!IF you join a lounge but do not play,and try another,try and stay there for a few games.Do not bounce from table to table,lounge to lounge.THE SPAM BOT WILL GET YOU!

unfortunately, it's not just you.
ever since they have started supplying ads they have been having a lot of problems.
i really think that with the amount of people saying they have been banned, that they can't access game rooms, that they can't see cards, they can't see texts, etc. that it can't just be a "reporting" "user" or "computer" problem.
it's a "yahoo's changing things around & messing things up right now" thing. hopefully, really soon, it will get better...
and, unfortunately, i don't have a magic remedy for you to feel better, or to make it all better. it's just going to have to do with luck. sometimes i think some get it to work, and sometimes they don't. i hear that some people can turn off the pc, & reboot, and that helps. others turn off pop up blockers. but, the real root of the problems, obviously, comes down to yahoo's programming at this point. it can't be everyone else, right?

Thousands are being barred Yahoo games are screwed up. I have yahoo customer care working on this for us. I will get back to you in a day or two so check back here. Thanks laugh out , for finally giving a good reason. Most are just saying it is all our own fault for getting barred . lol This is what i got back LOL: Hello,
Thank you for contacting Yahoo! Customer Care.
We appreciate you bringing this incident to our attention. Its
important to us that you have a positive experience while using Yahoo!
Games. Well be sure to look into this situation and take the
appropriate action regarding this individual.
There are many different ways you can shield yourself from abuse:
-- Profanity Filter --
If you choose to enable the profanity filter, profane words will be
replaced with an "@" symbol in the chat area. To enable this feature, go
into a game lobby and click "Options. Under the heading "Profanity
Filter, you can choose the strength of the filter -- none, weak, or
strong. "None" means no profanity filter. "Weak" catches common profane
words. "Strong" also catches clever use of dashes and underscores
between letters that would normally be missed by a filter.
-- Ignore --
Still bothered by other players? You can block their chat indefinitely
if youd like. To ignore a player, double-click their name in the list
of players. A new window will open, showing information about this
player. At the bottom of the window is a checkbox labeled "Ignore.
Simply check this box and youll no longer receive chat messages from
that player.
-- Instant Message and Invite Blocking --
You can also block instant messages and invitations. Blocking instant
messages will allow you to only receive instant messages from users on
your friends list. If receiving too many invites is becoming a nuisance,
you have the option to block all invitations from popping up on your
screen. You can choose either of these features by checking the boxes
next to these options in the game room -- where you select a table to
play.
-- Report Profile Abuse --
If youd like to report an abusive profile (either the ID itself or any
pictures in the profile), please visit:
