It would be useful to restrict open invites not just by rating but also by subscription status. I find subscribers are genearly keener, less likely to cheat(!), and nicer all in all. For this reason I would like to restrict my open invitations to subscribers.

This is what I do at the moment, but almost 30-40% of my invites are taken by non-subscibers which means a lot of unhappy folk who suddenly find their game deleted.

It's also just a bit annoying to constantly delete the games. It's as if you were unable to 'limit' an open invite by rating and could only name it- lots of people outside of the range would ignore the name or just try their luck.

Why delete a game with someone of equal (or at least similar) rating simply because the opponent doesnt have a star by his name??
Does it really matter THAT much??π
Ok I understand that you have put "Pawn Stars Only" in the title and yes they are stupid for joining the game regardless, but why do you discriminate at all??

Open Invites are regularly taken by provisional players (who I don't want to mess about!) who have provisional ratings - not the most accurate!
