Remove players from game without banning them.

Hello, I would like for there to be a way to remove players from a game without kicking them.  I'm running several recurring pickup games, and would like to be able to clear players out so that they have to re-join if they are available.  Right now, in order to do that, I have to create a whole new game page so I can keep my assets for the games I run.  I was kicking players from the game, but figured out that, by doing so, I was preventing them from using the pickup link to join.  I would like to be able to remove players from the game without banning them from it.  Thanks, Voi
When you kick someone, a new pickuplink is generated. If you could post it somewhere all and only your players can see, they could re-join with the new link.

Currently the only way to remove people from a game is to kick them out. As a workaround, it is sometimes recommended that a person builds a central game hub then post pickup links in that hub's forums. I like your suggestion about removing without kicking.
Danii:  This issue is that for a pickup game, it's hard to manage people this way.  I want to be able to use the capability of Roll20 to manage the number of users who join the game.  If I pass out the join link, then there is no way to ensure I don't exceed my max number of players. Pat S:  I appreciate the workarounds for the problem I have raised.  One issue with these workarounds is that a lot of the players I end up interacting with are new to Roll20.  Especially in a pickup game, there is a lot they have to contend with, especially if I have to move us onto an alternative platform for audio.  I regularly lose people at the beginning of games because the tech situation is too complicated for them already.  Since you like the suggestion, if you could upvote it, I would appreciate it!  :-)
