salarta Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 Hi, it's been a while since I posted on this section. This might not be possible, but I was wondering if a system could be implemented for people with accounts to block certain users in terms of things that will show up for them when looking at the site while logged in. As a side suggestion, another person I talk to that likes to read from this site also said he'd love if there were a way he could filter out stories by certain terms. Quote
DemonGoddess Posted October 10, 2009 Report Posted October 10, 2009 Could you go in to a bit more detail as to what exactly you're wanting the program to do? Give examples, that would be helpful. As to the search, if I'm remembering how the engine that will be implemented (eventually) works, that should be a possibility, yes. Again, examples of HOW your friend would like to perform a search would be helpful. Quote

Again, examples of HOW your friend would like to perform a search would be helpful. For what my friend wants, he said it would be summed up well as "have an account option where if a certain word appears in the summary, it will filter that story from the listing." For example, if a story has 'yaoi' in its summary, it wouldn't show up when looking for stories to read. My original request/suggestion isn't quite 'blocking' as I mistakenly called it, it's more like filtering, under the same idea as above. If possible, I would like an account option where I could add a person's name to a list and any stories, and if possible comments, that they make wouldn't show for me. I don't mean blocking them from being able to post things, I mean simply that stories and comments that they make would essentially be 'invisible' to me. As a hypothetical example, if I want to look for a Devil May Cry story, I could look through the listings without certain stories showing if they're by an author who I know writes content I don't like, and I can read through comments of a story I really liked without comments by the 'filtered' user displayed to me. I expect the comments aspect might be unlikely, while the filtering stories idea might be easier to accomplish. Quote
DemonGoddess Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 Thanks, and yes that makes much more sense now, to have a filtering option. I'll see what the other gal has to say about it. Quote
salarta Posted October 17, 2009 Author Report Posted October 17, 2009 I wasn't sure if I should post just to say thanks before, but now that I feel a bit more right about it, thank you for hearing me out and checking to see if there's anything that can be done. Quote
salarta Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Posted December 16, 2009 Sorry to bother, but I haven't heard anything about this lately and it's become much more important to me tonight. Any word on this? Thanks in any case. Quote
DemonGoddess Posted December 18, 2009 Report Posted December 18, 2009 This would be part of the new stuff being written, and wouldn't be incorporated in the current scripting, I'm afraid. Quote
