Detailed description
-
• Please explain your suggestion precisely and concisely so that it's as easy as possible to understand what you mean.
The lead designer of all the AFFO expansions, Gernot Köpke, formally banned several occupation cards for being too strong.
He also highly recommends removing several underpowered cards from the deck as there's very limited card draw in AFFO and drawing a bad card early can really set you back.
The BGG thread where he introduced the list of cards to be removed: boardgamegeek.com/thread/2194460/article/32827008#32827008 • What is your browser?

Note that discussion happened in the forums for The Norwegians expansion, but the recommended removal of cards was noted in the rules for Mini-Expansion #2 (which does not require any other expansion). images.zmangames.com/filer_public/32/cf/32cf377a-371f-4e39-b8df-9fa1c85ee1d2/zm7693_rrules_en.pdf
In the forms for the mini-expansion #2, he clarifies that he recommends removing the cards from every game of AFFO regardless of which expansions you are using. boardgamegeek.com/thread/2302601/article/33277040#33277040
In my opinion, the deck for AFFO is so big, no casual player will notice the removal of these cards, while anyone who cares about playing competitively will enjoy not having to face them.

I see no reason why this request couldn't or shouldn't be implemented as a toggleable option at game start, rather than as a sweeping modification to the existing game.
But I'd agree that it would be a good thing to be able to optionally remove the banned or non-recommended occupations from games on BGA.

As these recommandations have been put in the rules of the expansion but they have not made a new version of the base game rules with those, I do think this should be an option activated by default but not mandatory.

Should absolutely be a toggle-able option for game settings, with a descriptive title like "Remove under-/overpowered occupation cards as recommended by game designer?"

+1 vote for the toggle option.
