Site updates and content filtering

Is it possible for a 'Nehrim' tag for Oblivion mods? Thanks

 

lol that would be the same as typing "Nehrim" into the search bar surely? Or were you thinking of blocking all Nehrim mods? Because if tagged correctly they should come under non-lore friendly I'd think.

Very cool site update. Thank you everyone who worked on it. :smile:

Very neat, very much in demand. Not that I plan on using it. ;)

I will do what I always done - look through them all and simply ignore the ones that I don't think look amazing.

 

Still, job well done.

Tags are excellent, and make it possible to find (yes, or block) a complex assortment of items. I very much like tags, and users being able to filter out what they might not want is good for everyone involved. As some have mentioned, it should eliminate a lot of flaming.

 

One of the most notable points in the original post is that those who filter things out will know how much they are missing, because the search results will tell them how many results were filtered based on their choices. And they'll be given the option to repeat the search without the filters. I've seen that system in place elsewhere, and I've used that feedback both to refine my filters to let in more things that I might like, and as an advisory on whether I should disable the filters on a particular search to see what's missing.

Very good addition, thank you!

No, not really. I have a potion replacer I just released with a version for Nehrim and a version for Oblivion. It's certainly lore friendly, and I've seen other mods for Nehrim that similarly wouldn't be unfriendly, like say the Grass Fix or the Nehrim version of All Natural. They just don't count as non-lore friendly, but they're not made to work with Oblivion. I think what I'm trying to say is there's a difference between a mod being compatible with/made for Nehrim and whether or not it fits in Elder Scrolls lore. Similarly, some mods without masters work fine with Nehrim out of the box, and I'd love to be able to tag some of those for others to find (so maybe there should be a works with Nehrim tag instead of just a Nehrim tag).

Thank you Dark0ne, for all of your hard work and efforts at making the Nexus even more awesome!

 

With luck the new filtering will help cut down the people who claim to hate nude mods, but yet spend all their time loading up nothing but nude mods in order to post comments insulting everyone that doesn't think&feel exactly like they do.

 

If nothing else it will justify stronger enforcement of the rule "If you don't want it, don't click it"!

possible for a 2-stage filter? like if its tagged related to females but NOT tagged related to males. ie, female only or male only stuff

Why not just have two tags in such a case Pinto? One for male and one for female.

 

I am however concerned that a mere three people can set a tag... particularly if that means that some people will then be more likely to miss out on content. With respect to the number of members, three people's opinion is a rather small proportion, for example if three extremely conservative people happen to be among the members they might consider every single female armour mod that shows the knee to be 'Not Lore-Friendly', 'Not Safe For Work', 'Nudity', 'Sexy/Skimpy' and 'Unrealistic'... three people... this is one of the reasons I suggest the ratio approach, I mentioned earlier. Or perhaps you might allow the user to define their own thresholds for how many votes are counted as the tag being 'active'... there are several ways to implement any mitigation mechanism however it is possible that the current system may be abused.

Honestly, tagging isn't "Opinion" based at all, except for perhaps "Lore Friendly". Everything else is pretty objective.
