Adding "show as off-line" to profil

Post by hori-hori »

It would be really great if you could had this option : the possibility to switch the profil as off-line to other player.
Sometimes you don't want your friends to stalk you, knowing you're playing BGA on certain hours of the day.

This exist in Steam (invisible mode)

Thanks !

The site suggestion "Better Privacy: Hide Game History, Online Status, and only Mutual Friends" is the most upvoted (currently at 1990) of all active bug & suggestions, with nearly 700 more votes than the #2 suggestion. The request was made almost four years ago. Only the request to make friends mutual has been implemented (it used to be that someone could friend you and then see your site activity without you accepting the request).

I won't say don't hold your breath for hiding online status. I just hope you have a very large lung capacity.

I second this request. Sometimes I just don't want to keep logging off and logging on all day. I'm here, then get called away, then back and get called away again. Its frustrating and makes me not want to bother.

When I'm looking for a friend and they show online but don't answer a communication, is it because they are away from their computer, ignoring you or in turn base? It would be nice to know. Being able to show as AWAY would be helpful, very helpful!

one of the things I really wish this site had. To them, I appear offline and we aren't paired to play together
