New story filter + new tag?

seaotter ๐Ÿšซ

I would like to request for a feature, perhaps for all members to have, to allow selective tags be omited in the new stories list.

While I don't want to deprive others of their choice of reading, I find that some squicks are popping more and more on the new story list. I would rather not have those squicks in the list.

Also is there a way to introduce a new tag - Offscreen? Some good stories have squicks that happens offscreen but not in the main story. It may benefit readers looking for a story but are repulsed by a particular tag or theme.

Thank you.

Thank you

The feature you are requesting already exists, but is limited to premium members.

I didn't find an 'Offscreen' tag when I searched.

I have seen previous complaints here in the forum, about the mandatory use of tags, because the action in question was actually 'offscreen', or simply implied. The tag had to be used to quiet the outraged complaints the author was sure to get were it not used.

A tag that could be used in conjunction with an another would be helpful, but otherwise, I see it's actual use as being problematic.

If you have M/F, M/f, f/f, m/f, m/f, Offscreen, to which of those codes would the offscreen apply? If not all of them, how do you differentiate?

It would have to allow attribution of some type. Like M/M +Offscreen, M/F, Bestiality +Offscreen, F/f etc.

The general consensus on the forum when this has been discussed is that offscreen/offstage content should not be tagged.

Sex Contents: Much Sex

Tags: Ma/Fa, Consensual, Fiction, Swinging, Group Sex, Interracial, Oral Sex

The first line I read is "Sex Contents." If the story has "Much Sex" or above, it will have to be rated 8 or above before I read it.

The next line is the "Tags." In the example above, "Swinging" and "Group Sex" would kill the story for me. In that case, I don't read any further, much less the story description.

Those are my personal parameters. Some people like that sort of thing and would react opposite to me.

With that explained, the format in my opinion is particularly well laid out. If used properly, no filtering is necessary just need to read no further if a tag hits on one of your personal squicks.

Where you'd be justified in being somewhat upset, is if the author deliberately avoided tags for content actually in their story. From what I've seen here, such stories don't stay up long before being called out, not to mention the score bombs and or thrashing in the forums they receive.

Regarding an off screen squick tag, that would require a championship level cat herder to organize. The majority of MC back stories I've read have one or more squicks dependent upon the reader. Usually most people just ignore it. If it's mentioned to point it's more than simply in passing, it should have been a tag to begin with. See previous paragraph for that.

In all, my personal opinion is you're asking a bit much.

For what it's worth, most authors habitually add the same types of scenes. If an author's scenes are a squick to you, don't read that author's stories. Premier members can block stories using their account settings to block an author or a particular code.

So I can block on "Reluctant" or "Reluctant_Sir", not that I would.

The system won't allow 'wildcards', it will allow you to block any currently listed author. The only place you cannot block is the 'main page stream'.

ps

Rumour has it that if you block Reluctant_Sir, he uses you as a victim in his next story and whips your ass. Of course since you blocked him, you'll never know...

Oh, but I would - as you said, filters do not work on the "main page stream" aka Home.

Nope. He has an evil, twisted, sadistic sense of revenge so avoids naming victims in his story descriptions...

I can think of people - not necessarily here - whose stories / postings would look like telephone books if they took that approach.
