Since before the Steam Winter Sale, I hated to go through the queue because it always suggested games that I don't like based on the tags, so I came with this script to check for tags and if it finds those in the blacklist immediately click the 'Not Interested' button, otherwise just keep the app for review.

I don't want it complete automated because I want to review each app alone [this is an option since v0.2].

To use, you need to specify the tags that you don't want in the 'unwantedGames' variable, provided is what I use, you need to personalize to get best results.

This script needs Greasemonkey or Tampermonkey.

(2015-12-23) v0.1: first release

(2015-12-24) v0.2:

  • added ability to auto advance in queue after n seconds (default 6), to give the user time to check the game, with a countdown timer. this is also cancellale by clicking on the timer itself.
  • gives the user the reasons why the Not Interested was selected by showing the triggering tags near the button itself.
  • at the end of the queue, i show a small donation message and a link to my Trade page, send me some gifts for Christmas :)

TODO:

  • I want to try to give the user the possibility to change the list locally, so that I can enable autoupdate of the script without ruining the list (GM_setValue, GM_getValue).
  • click also when a game has negative feedback, below certain amount, < 40% for example.

So I can finally get rid of all the "zombies" and "MMO" games from my queue?

not exactly remove, but you can mark them as Not Interested so that in the future they will be excluded from future queues (I guess) and all your steam searches, this should persist after the winter sale, as these flags remain forever in your steam account.

This is what I meant, yes. Since Steam won't make a game permanently excluded from a search, somehow using the not interested tag in bulk is my only option.

Okay, installed and configured it. It helps, that I can tell, so recommended until somebody figures out how to literally tag every game without opening their pages somehow. :D

Doesn't work for me, didn't mark this as Not Interested, even though I added the 'Warhammer 40K' tag to the list.

I'm using the v2 script in firefox with greasemonkey, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.

I've edited the unwantedGames variable to only include Horror and JRPG. The first item in my discovery queue is a JRPG tagged game but nothing is happening. I've restarted firefox, disabled and re-enabled greasemonkey and the script itself. Is there anyway to get it working?

Also, the Todo feature sound interesting, is work continuing on this script?
