As someone who had to ask for a re-roll too many times because people hadn't checked if they own the DLC before entering, I know how annoying it can be when your winner already has the game he/she won, so I'm thinking maybe you can change the "enter button", if a giveaway has been hidden manually, to "Hidden" so people don't enter accidentally something they've hidden if, by chance, they have opened it via link.

EDIT: As I had many saying that I could use SG++, I will quote my answer to one such comment:

This is posted before I had SG++, still I've decided not to close the suggestion because, even though SG++ has that ability, I often use site through my phone which can't use scripts and such, so I would like that implemented directly in the site. :)

Good idea, perhaps a wishlist indicator could be useful too.

I don't suppose you know of anything that adds the ability to hide a game from the giveaway page itself...? I often see a game for the first time as an invite-only, and have no way to add it to my hidden list unless it eventually shows up as a public/group/WL GA at some point. I looked at the code behind the button on the GA list page, but the data-game-id it references there that I assume the hide function uses doesn't seem to be in the GA page code anywhere.

Well, don't have SG++. But still, what I've Hidden, does not show to me at all.

So don't know what are you talking about?

a) his post is 2years old
b) if you have a game hidden and enter a train which contains a hidden game it will still be shown to you if you simply follow the train (e.g.)

a) => I know, and in two years it's still a problem...
b) => That is the gist of it. In private GAs you can't tell if a game is hidden, so if you think it is, you still have to check, and tat is even more difficult if you have hidden a game because you don't like it, not because you own it.

true, but apparently not enough people seem to be bothered by it for cg to change it :/

I like your suggestion tho since I encountered it myself already aswell
