Mutual Friendship

Jawaker is a more than just a card gaming website, it's a community. We made an important step towards this vision by introducing the concept of mutual friendship. Whereas previously players could "Star" and "Flag" each other, these actions were one-sided "bookmarks", so to speak. Today we launched a new approach that models a standard social network. Players can add friends directly from the game table or manage their relationships from the "Friends" page on the profile. this management includes accepting and refusing invitations as well as blocking players. Players can also search for their friends by username from this page, in case they missed them on the game table.
Another small change is that we took out the complaint system from the friendship model. This means that complaints now go directly to the Jawaker Team and we use the data to manage our site policies.
