Hiring stars or new players is sneaky, but not against the rules. And it should not be disallowed. If you challenge a team with a lot of cash, don't be surprised if they want to spend some of it......

For the first one, if you arrange a game vs a team with lots of money, just ask them before the game if they're going to spend that money, and then decide if you still want to play them. Personally I hate it when coaches change something about their team after agreeing to a game, but you can at least see it coming if they have a ton of cash.
For the second, a group leader can already send mass PMs to group members. I'd like to see an option to send PMs to a list of users, but any other group would be a bad idea, especially nationality. If I would be interested in joining a group for people with the same nationality, I'd have done so already. i get enough spam IRL and in my email, so please don't bring the ability to spam advertisements to FUMBBL.
If you want to use direct connect, just tell your opponent so. You can direct people who don't know how to http://fumbbl.com/help:DirectConnectForDummies. And if you're using the wrong version of the JRE, it takes at most one game to find out something is wrong and look for an answer which is easily found on the forum.
