[Dedicated Server] methods with list of logins throws errors

Would it be possible for next version of dedicated api:
* not to throw exception when a player has left server while method is being sent with a list of logins. Instead silently accept that one or more players has left the server and is missing from the list. Just send nicely the manialink to all logins at server, without exception ?

Would be nice that other similar methods do the exactly same, not sure if this affects only SendDisplayManialinkPageToLogin, but there is the main problem at the moment.
SendDisplayManialinkPageToLogin(string, string, int, boolean)
returns: boolean
Display a manialink page on the client with the specified login. The first parameter is the login of the player, the other are identical to 'SendDisplayManialinkPage'. Login can be a single login or a list of comma-separated logins. Only available to Admin.

The real issue is when sending manialinks or chat not to a single player but to a list of players.

Sometimes the controller simply lags, Database lag or other causes. When that happens the list of players in the controller isn't correct. We are using SendDisplayManialinkPageToLogin with multiple logins & with multicall and one user with an error causes us to need to resend everything back to each login one by one which increases the lag even more.
