    This website needs to let people block tags. What's the point of having a tagging system if you can't even use it to filter content you don't want to see? Fucking e-hentai has this and it's a website from the 90s.

      does the exclude tag feature not serve this purpose? you can also use skins

        You can't use skins on mobile, and also I shouldn't need to have a laundry list of tags I need to drop in the box every single time I search. Some of y'all are nasty motherfuckers.

        There are lots of tags I would permanently exclude from all my searches if the site let me.

          You can, however, use bookmarks on mobile, so what you can do is copy the list all of the tags that you want to exclude into the box one time, filter and then bookmark the page that comes up.

          It will still update the page for new fics and updates every time you reload, but the excluded tags are now part of the bookmark link, which means they will always be excluded as long as you use the bookmark to load the page.

          I’ve been doing it for years for all of my fandoms. The only problem I can foresee is if your browser doesn’t allow you to save bookmarks, but every good browser should. Or you can always switch to Firefox.

          I'm using a skin that filters tags on my mobile right now??

          As long as you're logged in, whatever skin you added while on desktop will work on mobile. You can even add them on mobile (tho it's not the simplest thing to do).

      you can't block tags without a skin afaik, but you can filter them out (filter > exclude > additional tags)! :)
