Especially if we're halfway through a game!
If you do want to join, send me a message and I'm generally happy to invite you in, but please don't just join when we're partway through a game! We might be playing with certain weapons or having a showdown and if you join halfway through without knowing what we're doing it could upset the balance.
I know you can set your fire team to invite only, but occasionally I forget. I've also had it a couple of times where I was disconnected from the game and the fireteam settings returned to default.
It's just common courtesy to ask!
Tl;dr Don't just join, ask first.
Edit: Given everyone keeps mentioning it, I [i]have[/i] sent this to people on my friends list. Those that keep doing it on my friends list will be removed. Just wanted to send out a little reminder of common courtesy to everyone else, even if it doesn't apply to most people as they don't join without asking

You're going about this all wrong. If someone joins again after getting the boot, just have everyone switch to one team and beat them down until they leave. Haha.
-
How about sending this message to everyone in your friends list instead of posting it here?

Edited by FlatbushFatih: 9/16/2016 3:50:57 AMThis guy get's it. The worst is someone not taking the hint when he is already kicked once when we have an epic 4v4 clan showdown. Sometimes you just forget to set the privacy settings. [spoiler]also encountered lag in a pm yesterday, that sucked![/spoiler]

There's this thing that you may have heard of......set you privacy to invite only.

*The Chicago Way has joined your private match*

If people join my unannounced I'll have to either kick them or wreck them

-
So when there is a setting specifically to stop people from just joining, the fact that you forgot it was in your power to use that setting makes it the other person's fault? Take responsibility for your actions mate.
-
Trim your friends list. Anyone that randomly joins in should be unfriended. That's what I do, had people randomly join me uninvited on dailies, nightfall and raids. They immediately get booted and deleted, I don't put up with that kind of behaviour.
-
Shouldn't you be sending this to everyone on your friends list?? They are the intended audience after all.
-
dude that's people on your friend lost joining you not us. so man up an tell them that mmk?
-
I'm pretty sure that's good etiquette for any activity in any game
-
I'm sure it's been mentioned but you can change your privacy to Invite Only if you only wants those invited to join.
-
You're not on my friends list.
-
I didn't know you could do that...I though private matches were invite only. I have no interest in doing private matches, but do think nobody should be able to join with out an invite.
-
Close your fireteam
-
Why not set your fireteam to invite only?
-
Appear offline maybe, I know what you mean though.
-
Your fault.
-
I didn't
-
Looks like a friend list issue. I only have clanmates on my friends list and they always ask what's going on before jumping into my fireteam. I purged my friends list a while back. Had a few random people that added me and now and then they'd jump in if I was running a nightfall or something. One of them kicked me from the fireteam with no warning. I guess he was trying to solo it or something but I felt kinda bad so, I've limited my friends list to my clanmates, the people I interact with on a regular basis.
-
Yeah my friends list used to be full of people who'd randomly join me all the time. It's pretty bm.

Atypical Typo
You're true Gaurdian Angle! - old

Had that on my very first Private Match.
