By this I mean games that have no openings due to being largely filled and with active invites filling up all the remaining spots.

Or as a related option the game starter could allow for a waiting list for non-filled spots if the invitee(s) didn't join, though I think just not showing the de facto full games would be easier and better to implement.

I would also prefer that games that one cannot join as non-paid site members would not show up on the joinable listings. While I get that the site might like to advertise such games in order to attract people to become paid members I think that the same effect could be had with equal or greater influence and with less general annoyance if they were added to the bottom of the listing and were clearly marked as being for paid members only.

One could add games that one can't join because one or more of the players there are on one's foe list - I've already mentioned this, but it's very hard to do.
At best this would need to be an option not to show games one can't join, because people need to be able to see past games and active games, so a blanket "only games I can join" wouldn't be sensible.

Yes adding in to the idea ineligible games due to foe lists would be good too, ideally with the option of also showing showing those games at the bottom of the listings ("show hidden games") with that disqualification highlighted so people could decide if the foe-ing was still worthwhile, or at least should be suspended for the time needed to start a desirable game.
