Why do idiots turn chat on and off rapidly in msn internet spades?

Answer 1

Because people have chat turned off can still see those messages. So turning off chat does nothing, because the opponents can still spam their chat screen by turning their chat on and off. Likewise, your partner can still try to say something to you.

I have discovered that if you keep the screen from scrolling for about 2 seconds, it will lock like that and stop the annoyance.

Usually it is because you or another player taking too long to make a move.

It is infuriating to fast players, particularly in the expert level, to have others lagging their game. If you ever get spammed with on/off messages (since their chat messages are limited) think to yourself if it is you who is taking too long to play your card, before thinking that they are idiots who are doing it for no reason (which is also possible but less likely).

No, it's because they are idiots. I am one of the fast, expert players.

If they don't like how long another player is taking to play, they should just quit rather then annoying the rest of us.
