Raportin historia
This is also one of the key ways for middle ranked players to advance. You study the games of the masters.
Online status, friends: nobody cares. If game history goes, I'll probably quit this place.
The replay system is excellent for learning from better players and losing this feature would be a big loss to the site.
Mutual friends only was implemented long before 2025-05-27 (earliest comment currently visible). See boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=23290
Hiding online status has other single-topic bug reports, including boardgamearena.com/bug?id=81191. I suggest using that report for online status setting and/or visibility.
Hiding completed games seems of limited use. Completed games do give some past timing history, but they don't allow direct interaction with the players, which appears to be the overall focus of this request. Hiding completed games makes a lot of useful information including game play & strategy learning opportunities, game popularity, and examples for recognizing patterns, diagnosing problems, & supporting bug reports.
Not asked for in this request, but IMO more useful in preventing harassment, would be allowing an individual to hide their list of current active games and/or open tables.
-- Letting people hide their playertables page (boardgamearena.com/playertables?player=[ID]) might be useful, but (especially with the reputation history missing) also means a current or prospective opponent can't gauge whether their opponent is playing more games than they can keep up, or hasn't made any moves at all in an extended period. Being able to look at someone's current tables is also useful when someone has a question about an active game, be it game play, UI, metagame, or bugs.
-- Letting people hide all their open tables seems counter-productive for game matching. Making friends-only or group-only tables visible only to people who can join them would be reasonable, IMO. But there are currently bugs with group tables not always respecting that requirement (possibly related to other issues respecting game options & restrictions), and there are requests (ex: boardgamearena.com/bug?id=23285) for better finding group-restricted games that might combine well with limiting visibility of restricted tables.
Cordialement
I think the simple ask of privacy makes for a very complex solution especially in a space that is looking to be open and connect players. Personally I like the openness of data because I've thought about making a bot that can notify me on other platforms like discord when I have an available move (I'm just not that big at e-mails especially how much spam I get) and the openness of data would allow for others to discover and utilize that bot without having to go through more steps, like friending the bot.
On the other hand I haven't experienced harassment or felt attacked in anyway on BGA, perhaps because I mostly place exclusively with friends. But just wanted to state a form of opposition that others might not have considered.
- you may not be able to watch replays of some top-ranked players for a given game
- you may have issues reporting a bug, if you have that option on
So, it is not only about not being interested into using that feature yourself, it also has some consequences. Having information when exactly the game took place helps other to recognize what replay the have already watched, or may help to find a specific game. Why would you even want to hide it in a first place? Because you feel ashamed about yourself how long you stayed last night? Or you promised someone else you will do something, but eventually you spend that time on BGA? Well, conduct yourself better, then you won't have to hide anything ;)
Better privacy for your status (online/offline), friends, etc. its fine. But game history should remain public.
