    Sir @Russ.

    This is weird.

    Hells Caretaker challenged me to a Ladder game and told me his challenge got rejected by a filter I am using. Here's the message:
    - This player is only accepting challenges from players with a rating below 0
    My rating filters are set to "no max" "no min"; I set a 24 game limit but am nowhere near that

    Now, I have recently taken challenges by several people, here is the latest from today, which was done just to test my challenge filters:

    Dear Earl of Trumps,

    You have been challenged to a game of chess by 'Ponderable'

    Game : Challenge to check problem

    Ponderable

    Works fine as always. I think the problem is on HC's end. Thanks in advance.

    Could it be something to do with the ladder?
    I don't think ratings are an issue on ladders and I don't think your "filters" apply.
    I think the message you received is inaccurate but the issue is to do with the number of games you or your opponent are currently playing(you're only allowed one challenge and defence at a time)or the number of positions between the two of you.
    You could ask Hells Caretaker to challenge you to a friendly game and see what happens

    RHP clubs do not offer formal ladders, so it is an informal ladder where we keep track of everything. So our challengers are really all friendly challenges. And we are playing a game because I challenged him. But thank you
