Feature Request - Blacklist certain tags in search

[PrimalGirl94]

Hello

I love using Literotica to find awesome stories and expand my horizons. I would love the ability to block certain tags so that any stories that have those tags wouldn't pop up in my result. I think this could be an all around useful tool to help people find exactly what they're looking for, and also help people avoid certain situations/concepts they find upsetting or triggering.

Thanks

I agree and concur.

Thank you for the suggestion.

We have been working on a (much requested) triggers feature to allow authors to optionally tag their work for specific keywords that certain readers prefer to avoid (for example, violence).

The idea of blocking or highlighting certain tags that a logged in reader selects is also a possibility, though I'm not sure how effective it would be since stories often contain content which is not included in the tags.

If you have thoughts about how such a feature might work, we're always open to suggestions.

Same way effective search engines work, tag or -tag.


But the author must have used that tag. Adding -pee wouldn't exclude stories that didn't use pee as a tag.

I was really enjoying the pacing, content, and setting of a couple of stories until one of the characters was prompted to watch a video featuring incest. The rest of the story was not like that, and I skipped over the part where the main character is aroused by the video, but there has to be some way of making this tagging system happen.

What category were the stories in? Authors set the tags, so if they didn't tag incest, and Laurel missed the short scene and didn't put a content warning at the top of the story, it's difficult to see how that example would be addressed.

Current tags are - voyeur, exhibitionist, masturbation, passion.

The author has only used four tags when they could have used ten, which illustrates another issue - an author might not know how to use the tag system fully.

But in any event, if they do know how tags work more fully, they're going to be using tags to draw people to a story, but what's the likelihood they're going to tag every kink which for others is a turn-off or a trigger? Not high.

I get where you're coming from, but I'm not sure the site can do what you're asking. Tags are put in by authors, not some kind of monitoring service. Your coping strategy of identifying a trigger and jumping a scene might be the best you can do.

Since incest wasn't one of the tags used, even a global search block (-incest) for all of your searches in all categories would not have excluded that story.

And if the word itself does not appear in the story text, a blocking search would not have worked.

There are other sites, like that large yellow and black porn tube site, that allow users to tag content. I believe it requires multiple users to suggest the same tag before it is accepted.
