Minor Blacklist Problem

Posted under General

Just a little suggestion, which doesn't have any contra but I don't know how easy it'd be to change that.
When you have tags on your blacklist and you simply go through the new posts, there are only a few pictures on 1 page because those on your blacklist aren't shown. It's very troublesome for me because sometimes there'll only be 1 picture on 1 page because I have touhou blacklisted.
So.. I'm not sure how many picture it showed on one page when you have nothing blacklisted..let's say 15. In that case, maybe 7 pictures would be blacklisted and it'd only show 8 pictures on page one. Isn't it possible to "fill" the first page with the next 7 pictures (that aren't blacklisted) of page 2? It's usually how galleries work but I don't know if it'd be so simple to change so if it's all complicated, nevermind it.
Thanks
Edit: Same suggestion for the "Popular" page, which often shows half of them blacklisted.
Edit2: In the post section, it might be loli posts that cause it (for normal members), not blacklisted, I'm not sure..

I don't think this will work with the way the site currently caches pages, as anyone running a different black list would require a completely different cached set of pages and couldn't be shared with other users.

The current blacklist solution is run entirely client-side, what your asking for would need to be server side, and would put more load on the database.

I don't run a blacklist so I haven't tried it, but have you ever tried using the endless danbooru pages greasemonkey script? Depending on how it interacts with the blacklist script, it might at least mitigate the empty page problem you are having without changing how the site caches and serves pages.

The most prominent issue with this would be the occasions when a user has reason to see the blacklisted images. For instance, I have large_breasts, huge_breasts, peeing, and scat blacklisted yet I still had to be able to see the images with those tags when I was going through every image tagged touhou and loli to see what didn't need the loli tag (And on that note, blacklisting touhou has got to the funniest thing I've heard in a long time). Had your method been implemented at the time, this would have been a much more arduous task.

Agreed. As a translator, sometimes I have to be able to un-hide some images to finish off work on a comic; the way you propose would essentially require the page to be reloaded each time I hide or un-hide things on my blacklist.

Like I said, I don't run a blacklist mostly because I want to be sure I see everything in the mod queue. My suggestion was under the assumption you *want* the blacklist enabled all the time (and don't need to regularly unhide images).

I can't think of a good way to keep things paginated client-side *and* retain the ability to quickly hide-unhide without reloading the post listing.
