My favorite view to use is "Games where it's my turn or have unread chat messages." This gets the clutter off of my screen and allows me to focus on the games that require action from me.

However, I hate that I see chat messages from games that I've declined. Is this intentional? I honestly think it shouldn't even be included in the view, but if it's necessary to include it then I feel we should have a separate view that leaves these out.

Ideally we'd just have a view filter and we could choose the options we want to see with check boxes, but I know that's probably a lot more work.

Am I taking crazy pills here or does this seem like a good idea to anybody else?

I completely agree, I have that problem all the time.

an active refresh button on the "games where its my turn" would be nice
