Also, new in the new client is newbie filtering. It blocks chat from (most) players with less than 500 krill.
Lot of people are only playing tournaments, so krill may not be the best way to filter. (Or you could give krill for tournament buy-ins too)
Krill for tournaments may happen. We will find some way to make tourney only players non-noob eventually.
For now I can manually "non-noobify" players so if you are a tourney regular just PM me or email
admin@sealswithlcubs.eu. Also players who changed their color over a week ago are automatically "non-noobified" for a technical reason.
