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.

@Ataraxic will the site-wide block remove the option in advance search? as an example in settings if you uncheck pornographic it disappears from the advance search, so blocking a specific tag will also remove it from advance search or it will be displayed?

This is tied to @Yorozuya-san reply, because from your reply and perspective as developer this could be difficult because he wants a fine control for each page and conditions, but with advance search some overrides can be implemented, the tags can be included or excluded from filter, and from other comments, a search can be bookmarked, so maybe as an alternative to suggest him an advance search bookmarked with the loli tag enabled including only in safe but site wide blacklisted... just as possible workaround for him

So if the tag is created like this (hope the image loads), It would hide manga with that combination of tag anywhere in the website.
In the “T1” there are 2 tags, so it will only block if any title has both of those tags in it. Think AND operator if more that one tag is in T1. And it would be OR operator between T1 T2 T3 and so on for how many ever list we are able to create.

So any manga with the tag: loli && pornographic OR shota && pornographic OR Boys’ Love OR loli && sexual violence OR oneshot && loli will not show up anywhere at all.

This list would take priority over any other filter, so no need to change anything in the advanced search because this list will apply on top of the advanced search as the blacklist will be site wide. So no need to remove the tag itself from the advanced search filter, just block the search results based on the blocked tags.
Honestly my main thing is I don’t want to see those types of manga on the front page as what show up there is not up to me.

I think I’m just confusing everyone at this point. If it’s too different from the way you guys are implementing it right now, you can just ignore me. But look into it in the future if possible. Thank you. And I’ll stop now. It feels like I’m asking for too much for something that’s supposed to come out this month.

By default, the globally filtered tags will be autofilled in the advanced search as excluded tags. You can then go to advanced search, hit "Search" (which will save the fields in the URL) and bookmark that.

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.

I understand your use-case, but it's far too complex to support (as explained). Especially how content rating is not a tag, but its own metadata field, advanced exclusion like that would take non-trivial effort to support.

FYI we're testing out this feature right now and should be out probably this month

Sorry if I'm being a bother, but is the feature still on track to release soon?

God I hope it's available soon I read mainly romance so trying to sift through alot of it and constantly finding BL/GL is so damn annoying honestly

I used ieatass's script to block what I don't like. Works like magic.

I'm in exactly the same situation, and it feels like recently there's been a huge wave of BL/GL hitting Mdex. Sifting through that is a hassle when checking latest updates.

Yeah exactly it's just annoying having it recommend CONSTENTLY

People wanna read it? Whatever I guess but I don't

It's also a bitch seeing a manga I really like the cover of so I go to look at it see it's GL and get disappointed as hell

Use ieatass's script. The link is on page 2 of this thread. It helps a lot.

 

[n8dGr8]

is the offical feature for blocking tags still under works, or are we all just going to use ieatasses script?

The feature is available in the canary channel of MD, so eventually it will be migrated to the normal site

Do you by any chance know how long that usually takes? Even a very rough estimate?
