Add a bold marker to the Eliminated and Recently Finished buttons on the My Games page to highlight changes in status on either of those tabs.
Specifics/Details:
Much like the markers in the Interaction Menu which indicate new PMs in your mailbox and new posts on your wall, I would like to see something that indicates that an Active game has moved to the Eliminated or Recently Finished category.
Once you had visited the appropriate tab, the marker would be cleared until the next change.
How this will benefit the site and/or other comments: Other users of the site who agree with the following will benefit.
I can generally discern when I am out of a game by the note that I "can leave ratings for N members!" But if I decide not to leave ratings (like in a Battle Royale) or if I have already left ratings for everyone in a game, this count does not reflect the situation fully. I find it annoying to go to these tabs repeatedly just to note, "Oh, yeah, this game is still dragging on without me." Give me a quick clear way to see that there is something in these categories that I have not seen.
Maybe it would be better to add a bracketed number or something? to indicate the number of games that have that changed into the folder. As soon as you click on the game it could change, that way if you have several you have been eliminated in, then you could easily determine which ones are new. (sometimes if you have a lot of the same maps, it can get confusing.)
high score : 2294 02:59:29 ‹Khan22› wouldn't you love to have like 5 or 6 girls all giving you attention? 10/11/2010 02:59:39 ‹TheForgivenOne› No.

Oh, absolutely. This is what I was suggesting when I referred to the indicators for your inbox or your wall. They show, for example,
My point was more, about how the current tags work. You know how on your inbox, if you have [8 new] and you click on it and read the first one, then the message that there are new ones goes away, even though you still have 7 new messages? I was wondering if you wanted that [x new] tag to disappear after you click on the eliminated tab, or persist until you have visited the games in question.

I thought the count for your inbox stayed until you had read the PMs. I will have to watch that next time. (Problem is, I seldom have more than one new PM at a time.)
Perhaps there could be an indication on the games on the eliminated/recently finished tabs, marking the ones you have not entered since they reached that tab, just like unread PMs have a coloured title or icon (or something, I forget just what). You might then want a way to select games and clear the mark without going into the games, if you just want to speed things along.
The [x new] message on the Inbox does go away after you open your Inbox (you don't even have to read a message). If this is implemented, I would like the same to happen after you click on "Eliminated" or "Recently Finished".
