US / non US passwords option added to profiles

[scrawnybob]

hi all

as promised we have now added an option to all your profiles to reduce the number of password PM's you receive if you are a US player ...

This way IF you edit your profile accordingly you shouldn't recieve PM's with passwords or info for games that are only open to non US players

to edit your profile ...

login then go to your profile http://www.4kingpoker.com/forum/prof...do=editprofile

then select if you are a US player or not

This will mean that members who select the "US Player" option will only receive the league passwords (both US open and non US league info in one PM) + any additional US friendly games but NOT any non league games which are closed to US players

I hope this is a help as I am aware that we have been getting alot more non league tournaments that are not open to US members recently which has meant US players have been getting more password PM's than I would have liked.

I appreciate the site up dates. I get enough junk mail. I don't need to hear about tourneys that I can't even get in because I'm a US Player. Thanks

hi

yep I thought our US members would appreciate the feature - its difficult as I want everyone who can play to know about our events

but also to only send ones to players that can play - this option does of course rely on members using the feature - but it should make things better for those that do

on the thread front - yep in your profile options you can subscribe or unsubscribe from threads I used to get stuck with it myself having somehow ticked subscribe to everything I'd posted in ... which made for a very full inbox

these features are very much down to the individual member setting things up as they want - as a default it shouldnt be sending email notices about threads

as a general rule - all members will get a Password PM on wednesday's with the passwords for both the US Open & the non US League games (for Thursday & Sunday)

then as a follow up on the harder to fill buy-ins I may send out another one on Saturday for Sundays league games - although I would rather not

The weekly PokerHeaven password will go out to Non US Players only as will any other special Non US player games as separate PM's

Any special games that are open to all including US players will go out to the whole list

On the email newsletter front we will only send out a maximum of 2 per month (but realistically we only send max of one per month generally) - I only say possibly two just in case a site suddenly gives me 20 tickets to the WSOP and a freeroll ... and I'm guessing everyone would want to know about that one ;-)

hi

sorry in advance to those US members who have edited their profile to say they are a US player - in order to reduce the number of PM's they receive for non US games which they cant play in

We got the system up and running but unfortunately the way its currently been designed at the backend - I'm not able to select dont sent to US players (who have amended their profiles) - sorry the web programmer didnt fully understand what I needed it to do

it will be sorted - but unfortunately I've had to send out a last reminder for tonights Pacific buy-in game, which I appreciate some of you will end up with who have made the effort not to

sorry and I will have them fix it so it will work as planned

So here i was , just gonna let u know, that i had done the US player in the profile, and still getting non-US stuff. Glad to see u are on top of it. crack the whip over those programmers!

hi

just to update that the system is now running and should be correctly sending

so to re-cap if you are a US player and DONT want to receive passwords for non US games - got to your profile and edit it accordingly

we now have two sets of mass PM settings for passwords

ALL - this will send to everyone (with post count restrictions) ... this will be for the leagues password PM which will contain the passwords to both the US Open & Non US Leagues

NON US - this will send to everyone EXCLUDING members who pick the "US player" option in their profiles ... this will be for non league passwords / events that are closed to US players

hope this makes sense -obviously members who dont amend their account / profile will still receive all the passwords

cheers scrawnybob

ps. so far within new system we have sent out 2 NON US password pm's (for Pokerheaven freeroll & for Virgin Poker mini league)

and one ALL password PM with the league passwords in for this week

cheers scrawnybob

I'm sure they will get the (USA. non USA. PM.) problem fixed. Until then i will just delete non USA. PM. . It is only a quick click of the mouse. Keep up the good work scrawnybob 4Kingpoker wouldn't be as good as it is without all your hard work.

Hopefully the kniks will get worked out. Thanks for giving us the option of selecting the tournaments we receive passwords to.

hi

as far as I know the system should working

so if any US members who have actually updated their profile to "us player" that have recieved either the pokerheaven password for this week or info on the virgin game ... can they give me a shout on PM to let me know

if they have then clearly it isnt working

but if you havent updated your profile correctly then obviously your still going to get them

cheers scrawnybob

ps. dont all PM me BTW ;-)
