Topic: Does anyone else use their blacklist in a "non-intended" way?

Posted under General

as an example my blacklist is a very long list of all my favorite artists and I have them blacklisted to filter them out to discover new artists.

sometimes when im investigating more specific artists/tags that have stuff im personally not into (can name three artists off the top of my head ive done this with) i will temporarily blacklist every rating individually, then allowing me to temporarily disable and enable small parts of my blacklist so i can pretty much "microdose" for my investigations and not immediately get hit with enough freaked up porn to render me unconscious

Actually same!!!

I like to use it to help me tag. Adding a tag on my blacklist immediately hides it from view when using the Edit mode on the posts page, so there won't be any posts I miss across pages.

I've used it a couple times to have it point out posts with generally contradictory or lacking tags, since blacklisted items that are toggled off sort of highlight posts.

Have you tried re621? There's a custom tag feature in the "uploads & tags" tab. It adds a flag on all posts that match a search query, regardless of what is actually in the website's search box.

I'm on mobile and I don't know if Re6 is at all designed for mobile, and just getting extensions and stuff to work in general on mobile is a massive hassle anyway.

also, I have ~450 custom CSS rules to get the site to look how I like, and I know I'd need to redo a whole bunch of stuff. figuring out the names classes without having inspect element is annoying enough on a normal webpage, I have no idea if it'd even be possible on a webpage whose html is deconstructed and rebuilt with JS.
