Over time you'll find that some types of messages are too trivial to provide you with useful information. The example shows what happens when you filter out a message.

⇒ To filter out a message type, click on the blue check mark in the title bar. The mark changes to a red X and a magnifying glass containing a minus appears in the title bar. This means you're only viewing the messages you feel are important. These messages are filtered out for the remainder of the game, unless you choose to unfilter them.

⇒ To display all messages, including filtered messages, click on the magnifying glass. The glass changes to contain a plus.

⇒ To return to viewing only important messages, click on the magnifying glass again.

⇒ To unfilter the type of message displayed, click on the red X. The X changes back to a blue check. Now you will see messages of that type by default.

Even though you filter out a message type, Stars! continues to send you all important and unimportant messages. When you filter out a message, you're only specifying that it's no longer important and that you probably won't want to see it again.
