Can we get the ability to filter out certain tags, I usually go to the games forum to check for new/obscure/niche games. It would be nice to be able to filter out games/genres that don't interest you, I guess it would be fine if there was a 'subforum' for untagged threads, but everything is flooding into the parent thread and it's quite tedious to sift through.
I think a filtering system would be great. Ideally it would remember your choices and have an entry for untagged threads as well so you can manipulate how threads are displayed 100%.
The solution to me seems to have the sub-forums appear as links at the top of the parent-forum like on the main page, and keep the parent for non-sub-specific threads only.
I don't really see the benefits of a tag system, seems needlessly complicated when you could just have it like any other forum.
I know the vast majority of FP seems to prefer this system, but I like the tag system personally. I just think it needs the filters in order to be effective.
this is exactly what i was thinking. I like the idea of finding threads you otherwise wouldn't have seen and such, but at the same time, there's still things I will never be interested in.
Being able to filter stuff out seems like a must at this point, i have absolutely no interest in Team Fortress 2 and several threads are cluttering up the Games Section.
If something like this gets added I hope that your filter settings actually save and are not just something you can do every time you're in the subforum
If this does get implemented, maybe Polidicks can become a subforum of SH too? That way, people who are interested in both types of news can see it in one hub whereas people who wanna avoid potentially toxic political discussions can do so.
I'm lazy and would rather have it back to how it was before, but if we do need a filter system it should be as easy to use as possible without having to go to a settings page.
Maybe something like an X popping up when you hover over a subforum tag like this:

and then having it add to a filter list on the side of the page

it'd be ez pz, so you can just click a couple subforums and forget they exist, but also easily undo it
Honestly it's fucking baffling that this isn't a standard feature.
