Continuing that notion, it was one single major event that your noted website put the filter on. If you're suggesting similar filters here, to be in place all the time, what should they be for? MLP, what else? Some people hate COD, so let's include that in the filters. Some people hate Nintendo, some Jim Sterling, some Moviebob, so let's give the option of filtering them out. Where do you stop? Wherever it is I can guarantee that people will then be annoyed that their own personal peeve wasn't included.TheOrb said:
I hope you can see that the whole idea starts to smell a bit of ridiculous, not to mention the work required in implementation. Surely the simpler and more effective solution that ensures no-one is left out, is to place responsibility for 'filtering' on each and every user. If you look at the headline or accompanying picture and don't think the story is one for you, then just move on and don't click. If you're thinking "What's happened now?" and click anyway there's little blame that can be laid if not at your own feet.
(Sorry, this post was rather off-topic, but I don't think I could say anything I'd want to say here any better than Caramel Frappe already did at the bottom of page 4.)
