Blacklist Playlist

[Fursphere]

I have an idea for a new feature, but I want to flesh it out before I put in a ticket.   Something to the effect of a "blacklist"

Basically, a way to create a list of games that:

1) Can be added too while in BigBox (I played a game so bad I never want to play it again)

2) Will never be shown in BoxBox (No attract mode, no screen saver, not in any lists, not in platforms, not in other playlists, not in recommended, never under any circumstances)

Use case:

In BigBox - you cannot delete games (and sometimes even after you delete them in launchbox, they come back from the dead - see MAME below).   You can only add them to a playlist.  You can hide the playlist, but that doesn't hide the games.   So you can make a "Broken" or "To be deleted / Trash" playlist to deal with later in LaunchBox, but its just putting the problem off until later.  

Why would someone  want this?  Two reasons that I can see:

1) MAME.   You can go through MAME and remove all the games you DON'T want.  But update your set and re-import (to get the newly added titles) and all that work you did to remove the 'undesirables' is gone.  (this applies to FBNeo as well I guess)

2) Digital Hoarders.  If someone wants to keep every.damn.game under the sun, more power to them.  (I've broken myself of this, but I'm sure a lot of people still just import full sets)

Basically - if you want to exclude something from BigBox and not have the 'garbage float to the top" (this is exactly what the screen saver and/or attract mode does - displays the absolute worst titles in your collection), you can make a Blacklist playlist ("never show this in bigbox under any circumstances" playlist).
