Can i suggest just removing titles for games? Most multiplayer game lobbies don't use them and it would make the game list less cluttered. I often see offensive titles too unfortunately.
If the game list just showed the map, map name ( + version), min and max rating, mods and maybe a cpu max that would be enough.
If no min/max rating was used during setup, then it's all welcome.

@scout_more_often Players is not used to use ratings ranges when they create game. There will be too much misunderstands => community will be more toxicity
@Eternal the only issue with your news hub implementation is that it does not seem to be putting the article in order of Importance

This made in rush and I am using direct.faforever.com JSON api. Cant really say is it worth it, i am thinking about just parsing newshub page...
The problem with removing game titles is they often help flag there is no point joining (eg someone has hosted to test something, or has a player name in the title because they just want to fight them, or dont want people with x cpu or y number of games, or will be hosting a ffa or a vs AI teamgame, etc), while all welcome can be used to indicate you’re less likely to be kicked.
If people are hosting with offensive titles then taking a screenshot and making a report would be better than removing all titles.

@maudlin27 could just make it a setting to hide names or not hide them
