You can actually do it by using the "filter" drop down at the top right of the page.Filtering by tags is 100% in the cards, yeah. You can do that now, actually, through your profile.
Adding per-platform tags also looks doable. We don't want the pool to get too huge, since you start running into usability problems ("I can't find the tags I want so I'll just go for something close enough"), but an Xbox, PC, PS, Ninty set seems fine at a glance.
Well, there you have it.You can actually do it by using the "filter" drop down at the top right of the page.
Click the "filters" button. Or one of the tags in the thread list.Filtering by tags is 100% in the cards, yeah. You can do that now, actually, through your profile.
My main question is, can I ignore a tag completely? And if so, how? I'd like to completely ignore the Rumors tag.
The OP of this thread explains exactly how. It's in your settings, under preferences. Just click the box and save. Congrats, no more spoilers.The more I used it, the more I liked it. Threads with no tags are generally of no interest to me, so I can avoid them easily.

My main point of feedback is wanting the feature to expand. More tags and ability to post multiple tags please! Stuff like Star Wars, Marvel, politics, Final Fantasy, wrestling, Trump, etc. I love the step forward to customizing the site to your own preferences and I hope this continues!!!

General News

Giveaway (used for one off giveaway threads outside of the main giftbot thread)
Tech News (this could be useful if we decide to get rid of the general News tag)
Opinion (for things that aren't really news, website opinion pieces. Perhaps there's a better name for this tag?)
Maybe LTTP, Reviews, Eminem.
Current draft list after some suggestions:
Current plan is max of 4 tags per thread, so they need to be reasonably broad or else they're useless, and we don't want the pool too huge or else people can't find the ones they want easily and just pick "close enough" options. Ideally, all of the single-topic tags (so franchises like Star Wars, for instance) will be limited to stuff that makes up a decent proportion of threads so people who just truly don't care can filter it out. So probably not any one specific game franchise, since that usually only happens around new launches.
With that in mind, hit me with whatever you got.
Awesome!Click the "filters" button. Or one of the tags in the thread list.
Yeah, this looks like a good list so far. LTTP/RTTP as others have mentioned makes sense to me just because they're so common, and I don't think those threads quite fit with any of the other tags.
No, that's in the right spot. That's one of the options.
How do I get it under the title aligned to the left? This is very "nervous" from an optical point of view.

Well, sure, that's a little incoherent, but how about [OT][PlayStation][Spoiler} for a new PS exclusive's spoiler thread? Or [Entertainment News][Movies][Marvel] for an update on the next Marvel movie?Please don't use more than one tag.
Keep things nice, simple, and impartial: news, OT, rumor, spoiler. None of that "look at mah system war thread" option.
If a thread 'needs' more than one tag, it's not worth anybody's time, because it's going to be filled with nothing but garbage.
Example: "rumor spoiler OT" what? what is that supposed to even be?
TBH Naughty Dog is probably more specific, given the total number of threads specifically about TLOU and about ND more generally.
So... how do we apply the tags to our own already existing threads? I skimmed the OP and didn't see anything about that, unless it's already a known thing and I just haven't noticed where the option is yet.
