Board Game Arena

Hello, here is a suggestion:

Why do you even see tables you cannot join? "Oh, a Libertalia game opening up, no wait, it is only for Matts friends" "But there is a Puerto Rico game, no wait, it is only for players of another level." I suggest hiding unjoinable tables for players, easier to find the games you can join then.

the table owner can always be comm'd to see if they'd relax any restriction.

i limit the number of games i have on my 'want to play' list to avoid getting too big of a pool .. i can always scroll thru the rest of the games below if there is nothing much available in my preferred games.

Hi and thx for the answer.
I would never ever ask someone to pls accept me in when I don't qualify for the rules set by the table admin, be it being in a circle of friends or wrong level. BGA is one of many pastimes and if I dont find a suitable game I play hearthstone or some other computer game. So I think my point is still valid, why show games you are not allowed to join? I create tables restricted to my friends often, when we have decided to have a go at TtA or similar, I will not accept other players, so why show it to other players at all? Give the table creator some credit, (s)he knows what (s)he is doing!

not at all. some players set up a rematch without changing the settings and inherit the previous settings set by the previous table creator. those become the defaults for all future games unless the player changes it again.

Would also be nice to hide dublicate forum discussion within +- 5 threads on same board (or please have a look before you make new thread )
