Can't exclude characters? · 8:21am Aug 11th, 2012
Okay, as you all know, the FiM folks have been shaking things up recently. Now I don't much care about the whole search to google thing, as I have a tendency to fave anything I'd want to read again. However, the browse search filters seem to have an interesting omission - the inability to specifically exclude characters. This may seem minor, but I usually make it a point to exclude OCs when browsing, if only because the signal-to-noise ratio with OCs dramatically favors noise, even against the average. I hope the ability to exclude comes back soon, if only to save me from at least some of the pages of monotonous tripe.
I agree completely I too tend to ignore OC tags and hope that the percentage of people doing so helps encourage authors to not mistag use of other background ponies. I miss the feature so much because there is only so many 'Bloodstorm Bulletface' alicorns I can stand seeing before I give up on my search!
