Blacklist genres/tags in account settings [Planned]

[Hurriante]

I wish to be able to block a tag, like BL. Too much, and I don't want it interrupting my search.
I know about advanced search. But, sometimes it's nice to just scroll the main page of stuff.

We can currently hide series with certain kinds of tags (content rating or content warning), but it'd be nice to be able to hide series by any tag. There are some tags I know I'll never want to read a series with - horror, for example - and at the moment, looking through the new and newly updated series on the main page is annoying because there's a bunch of series I already know I don't want to read taking up space (and/or looking like I might want to read them until I see the tags). If I could say 'just never in any context show me series tagged with any of this list of tags', that would make the main page a lot more useful to me.

Is it only for tags? I want to blacklist titles as well and/or hide what you dropped. I really want to search to find some more fantasy stuff for example but a lot of others are in the way that it completely demotivates me from looking further.

What is taking so long?
I can't even go past seven pages in Advanced Search before the mainsite hangs and locks up.
Why did the April Fools code of all things get priority to be brought back quickly over this crucial "low priority" feature that actually helps people find new manga to read more efficiently?

If your browser is freezing on the search results, there is a problem with your browser.
April Fools was entirely frontend, this is a backend issue; these are entirely separate.

Is tag blacklisting on the menu? Any ETA if yes?

hey !!! Happy halloween ! For the occasion I'd like to give a word of support to the devs. They are doing lot of work for the manga community. Hope the blacklist feature comes soon !!! Have fun !

I hate seeing such disgusting loli or underage porn manga on this website. I know people have their "likings" but I would love to have an option that filters out all of the loli content. Like, come on...I have had literal baby pornographic manga pop up here. LITERAL BABIES! And it just seems to rise in numbers. In the "recently added" part of the website you are very lucky if you do not find any loli porn.
I just wish to not see that. An option to filter out this kind of content would be awesome. Sorry if it's too much to ask. And sorry for my bad english, this is not my first language.
Thanks for your attention!

I don't have a permanent solution you desire but I can give you a band-aid solution instead. Use the Advanced Search and put the following:
Sort by: Latest Upload
Filter tags: Exclude Loli

yeah, this temporarily solves it. It's just that in the settings here you can filter out any pornographic content, and I wish we could have the same option for loli tags or something. I personally hate seeing it and it's hard to ignore when it's on your face. I usually just do that but I got a bit fed up today when I encountered a disgusting manga with a baby. Thanks for the tip tho!

I'm glad to see I am not the only one being tired of seeing BL being spammed as hell jajaja

I used canary to see how it looks and noticed that it's missing the demographic tag filtering, which funny enough mangadex v3 had them. In my case is a must have because I just want to filter out shoujo and josei manga.

think we can put "CG set" in as a tag?

Taken from EHWiki's definition of artist CG
Artwork sets without panels, often made digitally. Typically in color and with more detailed backgrounds. Must depict a sequence of events (or be either a variant set or artbook) AND must be sold / distributed as a whole.
Obviously I removed the word "pornographic" from the beginning since I want a label to encompass CG sets in general.
This basically includes literally anything Zurikishi has made, the 1:39 comic, those 1 page twitter comics without panels, just all that panelless stuff where the only change between pages is just a character model being moved or text bubbles.

Thanks for the reminder! Unlike in V3, demographics are no longer tags, but separate metadata categories. I'll add an additional setting alongside tag filters for that.

Are we able create blacklist for tag/genre/theme/content combinations? I don’t wanna block a tag by itself only, I wanna block it when that tag is included with another tag/content/… as well. And create multiple of blacklist combinations.

Thank you so much for making this feature. This has been THE feature I have been waiting for.

Unfortunately, supporting that would require not using server-based filtering, since multiple tag exclusion rules are not supported. If we implemented tag combination blocklist, that would be done purely on the user's device.

If filtering is only done on the user's device, the search might break. For example, when searching for a manga, the top 5 results shown are currently filtered by the server to match your preferences. If filtering happens only on your device, the server might send 5 irrelevant results, which get removed, leaving the search box empty—even though there are matching results further down. We can’t just fetch extra results to fix this, because there’s no way to guarantee how many extra results would preserve the same behavior.

So, in the user settings we will have to block the tag as a whole?
My main use for this feature is to block loli porn on the front page and search. Blocking loli tag completely would block manga that has loli tag on it even if it is not sexual in anyway.
So I would pick the combination of tags just like you would in advanced search, but here the filtering is done for the whichever page of the website I’m in.
And how would blocking manga with loli tag only vs title with loli && pornographic behave differently for one to work but not the other? Because the blacklisting tags would be just like blocking certain groups or uploaders.

I think my wording made it sound like I was talking about a completely different feature on my previous comment. I hope this makes it clearer what I was trying to say.
