I agree, and would add the same for groups - I'm a member of 3 groups but generally only playing real time in one of those groups at once - it is frustrating when all the messages from other groups as well as friends keep appearing in the game log - would be great to be able to toggle messages on/off.

I don't personally use the game log, but when I see it, I don't understand why they put so much info on friend's activity. This isn't Facebook. Most of us rarely know their BGA "friends" personally. So, while we enjoy playing with them, we are not quite as interested in their activity.

It's such a shame to have such a well implemented moves log only to have it spammed by the random activity of people coming online/offline.
In this day and age I'm either seeking a random game with people I don't know on BGA (very rare) or I'm connecting with friends or community members elsewhere to propose a game. In other words, I don't need BGA itself to act as the 'lobby', especially from inside of a game!!!!

The friend connection info can be useful, but the game log is definitely a wrong place for it.
Even notification about one of the in-game players getting disconnected/reconnected would better be moved out of the log
e.g., replaced with some "un-plugged" icon blinking over currently disconnected player's avatars.

There is a special icon to see friends' status. Make that blink once when there is some changes.
But keep logs tidy. This is also about including group/tournament chat messages in the log - for big real-time tournaments you might not be able to see the player move at all, not mentioning the ton of sound notifications.
At least, add unique css ID/class to these messages.

I frequently have to use F5, but I'd like it if I didn't have to. However, I note that the devs have rejected the previous suggestion of this feature, #25075: "rejected: Developers think that it is not a good idea or that the cost/benefit ratio is too high".

It looks like sth. has changed since last June. Game-specific log entries now have the (apparently!) unique class log-replayable, therefore one can exclude all other messages with CSS like this:
#logs > .log:not(.log_replayable) {
display: none !important;
}
I haven’t thoroughly tested this, but #logs > should be enough insurance to prevent side effects.

And if they're awake and talking to me, I'll be seeing it happen, and we're all mystified. They're not using multiple tabs, they're not on a mobile device, they're just in one tab, and it's on, off, on, off.

A quick tip to "fix" this.
On the preferences > advanced tab ( boardgamearena.com/preferences?section=advanced ), you can add your own custom CSS.
Adding the following will hide these player notifications:
.notif_playerstatus {
display:none!important;
}
Only downside is that these bug-pages won't work when you have custom CSS ... so you have to clear it if you want to add / reply to a bug.

I wonder if the devs understand that we are not objecting to having the friend info available, just that it doesn't belong in a game log.
Add it as part of our friend section, display it on a separate page, make it time out of the log after 5 minutes, limit it to only players at the current table or add a toggle in settings. If you're not on a game page, it shows in the General Messages. So, why can't it always be there?
