suggestion for "hide giveaway" user interface

Open
xeos23

I use the "hide future giveaway's of this game" option quite often as it helps me not enter giveaways for games I doubt I'll ever want to play. For that reason I'd love a faster way to toggle it on than the current system where you have to manually dismiss the "are you sure" message that is currently shown.

Here's what I would suggest. Instead when you tap the icon with the eye and the line through it it would toggle to red from its current black and maybe also get twice as big so as to emphasize that this game is now on your hide giveaway list.

And, if that was somehow a mistake all you have to do is tap on it and again to return to normal. An extra benefit of this modification is that it would be easy to take a game off of the hide list without having to manually browse through the full hide list in the future.

sorry for the typos, but you can't edit a poll after posting (reasonable).

I'm probably confusing the regular site interface with ESGST, but apart from the button turning red, isn't already that way?

on the regular site, the icon disappears, which is a pretty questionable choice.

Oh, I see. Yeah, that's pretty much useless in order to toggle between states.

I’d rather have the prompt show up, because of when I click it by mistake, on my mobile phone.
If you want the feature, you can install ESGST.

That's part of why I suggested the icon should get bigger when you tap it, would make it easier to dismiss.

So far the tally is in favor of a change, but there's a sizable number of "don't care" and "don't like my proposal". I wonder if there's some option that would make the "don't change" people be on board? All I'm suggesting here is that it should be one tap to hide a game. Maybe the same UI as currently, but instead of confirm it's undo?
