Topic: Blacklist help.

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

I want to blacklist my little pony but I have a small issue with that.

I want to at least keep images of Fluttershy and Braeburn up, but the rest I want blacklisted.

Is there a way to do this? I'm getting tired of seeing MLP around. I just wanna see my two favourite ponies. :<

Doesn't work, Fur.

I'll just deal with it. As much as it really annoys me. :<

??? Maybe?

Nah, cuz then the first one blocks braeburn and the second blocks fluttershy.
You need a not and an or in there.
I don't think the 2 work together.

But I think I have a reasonable option.
Paste the following into your blacklist:

my_little_pony -fluttershy_(mlp) -braeburn_(mlp)
my_little_pony fluttershy_(mlp)
my_little_pony braeburn_(mlp)

Then whenever you're doing a search it will have 3 separate lines under the "Hidden" menu of the search page.
Click the fluttershy one to un-hide those, the braeburn one for him, and both to show images with them both.

Not perfect, but better I think than just dealing with all the MLP that gets posted that you don't want to see.

If I have "my_little_pony -fluttershy_(mlp) -braeburn_(mlp)" in my blacklist, it hides all MLP images unless they contain fluttershy and/or braeburn. Is this what you're wanting?

Here's an easy (or easier) way to figure out blacklist lines:

Perform searches with combinations of tags until it returns only posts that you want to HIDE. Then just put that search string into the blacklist as its own line, and everything that would turn up for that match is hidden.

For example, start by searching for my_little_pony. That hides MLP like you want, but it also hides some MLP stuff you WANT, namely braeburn and fluttershy posts. So, to remove them from the search, just add -braeburn -fluttershy_(mlp). Now it only shows what you want to hide, so you add that line into the blacklist: my_little_pony -braeburn -fluttershy_(mlp).
