I've received a number of comments from folks who think the "Forum Games" section is too spammy.
If this applies to you I can set you up with a custom usergroup that hides this section. Post here, PM me, or contact me in some other way to have this section permanently hidden.
It is pretty spammy, but it doesn't bother me since I just don't look at it.
Clearly I am weird, this is the part of the forums I enjoy the most. Though of course the events threads are more important to me. C'est la vie!
Yes, to each their own - nothing is changing about the boards so don't worry.
The changes will only be made to each person's specific user account.
i despise it!
Poof they're gone! Let me know if you want them re-enabled Marfles :-3
Also for a short period of time people in the no games group will have a cool blue name in the "who's online" section so act now! (I forgot to turn off the colour, will do it later)
awesome! thanks! :D
ill try to use the forums more often now!
I'll be sure to post one of these in every thread you post in from now on, marfles ;3

*ear flats*
I'm upholding this idea as long as i'm active.
though its only gonna be one per thread, just to avoid problems. (MY OTHER ONE DOESNT COUNT)

I'm with Felix here. I don't have time to spend on the forum games, so I simply ignore those topics.
I don't see them, they don't get in my way, so they don't bother me.
Edit: they're getting too numerous to ignore now, as they push older messages off the "most recent posts" list,
which is limited to only 100 messages. There are often more than 100 new messages a day now, so sometimes
I miss announcements that I want to see.
The only game thread I pay attention to is my "BANNED!" thread. If I can have everything from the forum games except my thread, then sign me up. If not, then nevermind. =(
I assume it removes all of those threads from most recent posts? If so, please disable that board for me, too - thanks.
I wouldn't mind them except for that they tend to push the threads I'm interested in off the recent posts.
Please add me to this special user group, thank you.
due to a glitch the filter's been disabled i think.
Okay I'll try and figure out why some people can, and some people can't see the threads while in the group.
It's very strange indeed
I imagine this is more of a feature request for the people who wrote SMF, but it'd be awesome if you could just set certain forums that you don't care about to "ignore" or "automatically mark as read" and have them not show the new messages icon or show up in your most recent posts.
Will it stop nine pages of spam showing up in the recent posts listing per day, pushing anything I actually give a damn about off the page? If so, count me in.
...Okay, yeah. The *ENTIRE* recent posts list has been completely scrolled through overnight by inane "forum games" spam. Please, *PLEASE* find some way to filter this crap out of the "recent posts" listing, if one doesn't already exist. If it does exist, please apply it with extreme prejudice.
If the opt out is still available I would like to have it applied to me as well.
I don't really much care about the games section, to be honest, so whether or not they're gone makes no difference to me.
I'd like to opt out as well. <3
Hmm, unfortunately you're in two groups (fursuit + opt-out), and permissions are overlapping. In order to fix it I'll have to go through all 600+ profiles and tick a little box, will have to see if I can automate it.
Maybe we could make the Fursuit group not give access to the Forum Games. Then give the people in the Fursuit group who haven't opted out, access to the Forum Games by another group. Then we would only have to update the people in the Fursuit group at most. Or maybe you're already ahead of me and thinking of something else.
I've got a plan.
Well, either I just fixed it, or I broke things for a lot of people all at once!
I don't know if its working for me yet as I am still seeing some F.G. posts pop up whenever I hit the "show new posts since last visit" thing.
You guys are doing a pretty good job at running the board though, keep it up!
It should take effect immediately. Maaaybe you need to log out and then back in again.
I'd like out of the "forum games" as well, please.
I to as well would also like to opt-out of the Forum Games

Done, you are now opt-out of the games section.
I'd like to be added to the opt-out too. I think maybe I was ages ago, but as it stands now I can see it.
Cheers.

Done
I too had asked for the removal of that particular section of the forum from my viewing experience and I don't believe it was done as I am still seeing the F.G. section at this time.
Masozi, I gave it another try, see if it worked now.
Yes please. Opt-out for me!
To Rainrat - The Forum Games section is no longer showing up and I thank you for that.
Hmm, I can still see it on mine. Is there another group I have that might be causing it to still show up, or something?

Try to log out and log back in. I can't seem see you in any other group but the "op-out games" group.

I didn't log out and in but it seems to be gone now for whatever reason. Cheers.

Sweet that is good to hear.
Can I please get re-added to this list? :3
You were still on, it seems that being in the Vancoufur user group readds you to forum games. Can you confirm that you can't see it now?
Reminder, this is an option to anyone who wants it.
