Concise description:

• Add a "Do Not Show Games I'm In" check box in game finder, so when you are searching for games, you may tick this check box and you only find games that you aren't in them.

Specifics/Details:

• This will filter all games in game finder and only shows games you are not in, it will something like "WITHOUT PLAYER myself" ...

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

• Last night I used game finder to join some Terminator games, I did my search and then started to looking at map and if liked it then join, but interesting thing is after I joined them and I went into my "Awaiting Players" tab, I saw half of the games I were joined or created another day were not there. Then I understand that the game finder has found my own games too and because when joining I didn't looked at players in game and I was joining fast, I wrongly clicked on Drop Game links too as Join and Drop links are both blue and like each other when joining fast you will not notify ...

So I thought it could be so nice to filter games and do not show games you are already in and only show games you are not in.

I agree, I have done this before and it kinda sucks lol

Not sure how to do it or if it can be done, but nice idea.

Why can it not show the games we have already joined.Either that or just have the drop game button in red.

Good point. I've accidentally dropped games from this myself. Either that or make the "DROP GAME" really stand out.

I agree...red or bold. I've done the same dropping of games when I thought I was joining a different one. Maybe block it out like the "fully reserved" games are blocked out of game finder.

Would anyone else like this?

I do hope that simple numbers of those posting don't determine whether something is a good idea or not.

Since you asked so nicely, me.

This idea seems practical and easy enough to implement. I vote yes, as it would be one somewhat cumbersome process gone from CC.

I want this

Agree. Both the filtering, AND the red DROP GAME part. Especially if you have to invite yourself to a tourney game, and you accidentally click drop instead of invite. DOn't know if anyone else had done this, but I sure have haha.

this x2

good idea

I like the original idea and the sub-idea of putting Drop Game in more noticeable lettering.

I like how everyone thinks this is a good idea! More support is needed to get it into submitted, though.

Yes! More improvements of the UX!

Thanks for supports guys, I also added the sub idea of red drop game into first post to get more support.

I'm not convinced the two ideas are logically correlated (most people probably don't make the same mistake that OP did ), but at any rate both of them seem to make sense. This is one of those rare suggestions where there isn't really a conceivable downside other than the amount of time it takes to code in.

I would point out that most people would probably prefer this option by default, so I think it would make the most sense if the checkbox was "checked" by default, with the option for the searching user to uncheck it and see their games as well.

Since they are two seperate suggestions. They SHOULD be in two seperate threads. Could OP make a new thread about ONE of these (you can link them to each other in the first post).

Well I did reset it back, the red link was not my idea so I guess the one who had that idea could make the suggestion ...

pretty please.
