[Suggestion] Vote buttons - Up and Down

Wouldn't blocking tags and the authors you don't want to see their content from already do that?

 

I'll take "not reading the post" for $1000 Daily Double, Alex

 

 

I do agree this would be a nice feature, but it presents all kinds of technical challenges we need to address.

 

We've made some changes to the site to offset it, but querying mods for users with a tonne of blocked tags/authors is an incredibly heavy request. Allowing individual mods to be blocked would make the request more specific and increase the time it takes to process.

 

We can move the filter controls to the "front end" meaning that the search will load all results and your browser will figure out which items to actually show, but this would prevent mod results from being properly paginated - so you'd ask for the "first 20 mods for New Vegas" and after filters that page may have 12 mods on it, moving to page 2 you may have 3 results, etc.

 

In short, it's something that would be super cool, but to do it well at the scale of this site requires significant planning.

 

My HOSTS file is about 4mb due to having a few million IP addresses in it, my HOSTS resolve takes more than a few seconds, personally I don't mind waiting a few seconds for the server too process a per-user list. PornHub has this exact feature and their servers seem to handle it just fine.

 

Another thing that may be worthwhile is having a NexusMods browser extension with these features, since you mentioned frontend. Reddit has RES, which does all sorts of stuff client-side rather than serverside.

As many note, Reddit's serverside handles are just a huge fustercluck.

Yet, somehow this site has more porn.

You are familiar enough with the content of both sites to make that assertion? :huh:

This conversation has gotten a little absurd now. I'll close the thread...
