Locking for games: Find NEW Games Only-Option

I don't know about you guys but I usually am not interested in joining a campaign in the that has been running for months already. If it is an of-the-shelf campaign like Lost mines of Phandlever or Princes of the Apocalypse, I will have missed parts (and I cannot just replay that part later) There is also a social aspect where a group develop their own conventions of inside jokes, plots and background. There is a risk that a new player will feel left-out. So, I  suggest a checkbox for "Only find New games" along with the selections for Free games, Mature games and P2P games This will of course require that people do not post proxy-games to appear as new games. (probably not allowed already, but it needs to be enforced) I am a but uncertain about the definition of a new game, but something like 3-4 sessions (times the frequency of the game). 
Not a bad idea, but as you indicated, requires a honor system by users and an enforcement mechanic by Roll20 staff.  Neither have been strong suits for Roll20 in the past. -Adam
