I've suggested the same thing before. Too many GM's are lazy, and not properly de-listing their games from LFG. I would just prefer it automatically de-listing the game from LFG, and popping a message on the screen for the GM telling them so. If they really want more people, they should have listed the proper number of player's needed. I've also suggested auto-sorting the LFG page so that games with the most player's needed come first in the order. This would also let you easily ignore those towards the end of the list which show, "0 players needed" or negative numbers. Roll20 should do a better job of enforcing what gets listed. This should not just be an open classifieds section where they can let anybody post an ad. Qualifications should be met, or they should get de-listed until they are met. It's okay to be a bit strict, to make the LFG experience a good one. This is often the FIRST IMPRESSION to people new on Roll20, and it is also their strongest asset IMO. I wish they would spend more time making it, "the best," and not just, "adequate." Understand, though, that a lot of GMs get a strong response, and
those experienced with online games know that it is more prone to high
turnover than real-life games because players (and GM's too) sometimes
don't take the time commitment seriously. So, as a GM, it is good to
have a couple extra players just to watch the game, as they can easily,
and quickly fill-in a spot because they know what is going on already,
and obviously have the interest already there. But, yes, really the GM's need to do a better job of de-listing their games. Roll20 could help them (or enforce them) to do that, so that those who use LFG can have a better, more productive experience.
