Trying to wade through the amount of detritus in the LFG tool can be very demotivating when looking for new games to join or new groups to run games for, I've heard this same sentiment parroted by a majority of player's I've encountered on the platform and irl friends that also use Roll20. When I'm aiming to be a player, trying to find a game with openings without having to sort through dozens of irrelevant listings that I can't filter out, and vice versa trying to find a premade group to run a game for, it can be a real pain. Can we please get some more tags, that are enforceable by the moderation team? It would be a real QoL improvement for that part of the site, In my opinion. Off the top of my head (these are pretty self explanatory but I'll detail them anyway); LFDM - Looking for DM/GM - Contrary to what some people do tend to post on here, being able to find a group that only needs a DM is handy, I personally prefer looking for these groups over open recruitment as I find I tend to get much better attendance and commitment out of a group that already has a dynamic together. A tag for that would be great for DM's like me, and would also help filter those games out from search results for people that don't want to see them and maybe stop a lot of the complaining threads on the forums. LW - Living World - Again, some people love living world games, but lots of people have no interest in joining a 2000-5000 person group that is run off-site, these groups also tend to never go down on the LFG tool so they will always be there cluttering up the search results for people that have no interest. A tag for people that want to find these and for people that want to avoid them would be helpful. COM - Community - Similar to living world, I see a lot of posts advertising for off site Discord/Reddit communities for pbp games and the like. While I'm not entirely convinced that these should be permitted in the LFG section, it would be nice to have a filter option to remove them from search results if they are going to be there. NEW - New Game IP - In Progress Both of the above would be very useful to me. I actually like joining games in progress, particularly modules that I've perhaps started with other groups but never got to see through to the finish. On the other side of the coin it's nice to be able to find a game that hasn't yet begun, and I know a lot of players that feel uncomfortable or alienated when joining a game where group dynamics have already started to form. TL:DR - While the LFG is functional and fit for purpose, there's a lot of quality of life that could be added by more tags for games that would help people see/not see the games they are looking for/want to avoid.
