The old Ignore method

[skyeblossom01]

Is there a way to go back to the old ignore method from before the ignore tag popup? I like that it's a possible option for those that care about such things, but I'd rather just ignore in one click like i did before. I ignore 95% of the games I see, so that's a lot of clicking. Ignoring by tag is way too broad for me except for maybe HTML, so that leaves me having to click to ignore, then scroll down (sometimes a lot) to the bottom of the tags and ignore again.

Is there an option in the preferences I missed that turns this new way of ignoring off?

Thanks

Like I mentioned there (which relates to another issue I have with the ignore option), I'm just gonna put it my exchanges with a fellow community member here too, where I think we raised valid points on our end (which was prompted by the new ignore prompts which we both really disliked), just so that our "votes" are in as a matter of sorts.

As much as I do understand and respect what's been said by the Admin in that other thread, I just wanna state (without any expectations attached) how for long term use of the latest update feed it makes it really inconvenient and bothersome. Also as much as I understand them pushing for the use of tags exclusions/ignoring tags (which works for a lot of people I imagine, and it useful to newcomers who might not know such options exists) and that I'd love it if it was simple as ignoring tags entirely, the problem is that there's many games love or really like that I never would have seen since they include a tag I'm not into (like guro, scat, gay or futa for quick examples) without it being the whole game (and often being a very small or totally optional portion of it, that I can just quickly skip through if it's non-optional anyway.)

And the alternative of greying it out is not nearly as practical.
And even the workaround based on greying them out first and then filtering it with an ad-blocker extension out comes with it's pitfalls.

Anyways, in direct relation to what this specific thread is about, we raised a lot of good points I think in our exchanges.
I think there should be a "do not show this again" option on the prompt.

Here I was a few weeks ago wishing that was an option that allowed me to ignore a threads directly from the updates page, like a long press or something... and now we get this abomination, it takes so many clicks. Just make it optional

At the very least they could put the ignore button on the top and the pointless list under it so you don't have to scroll through that mess every time just to to what you're actually trying to do.

I ignore quit a lot of stuff around here and they have turned something that's supposed to be simple and helpful in to another clusted mess. I honestly don't know what the UI people are thinking half of the time. I've take to using Ublock to get rid of it.

Until they add tags for 'Ugly Art' and 'holy fuck that's disgusting', this will continue to be useless.

I guess the devs don't care about this at all.

Well, to be fair, there is a backlog of other work-in-progress action items currently in the dev backlog (e.g., the new tag system, among other plan-to-be-implemented features). Devs/admins here are doing this on a purely volunteerism basis as F95 is not for profit and likely has day jobs and other things going on in their lives as well outside of the zone.

They could want to tackle these things from an order of prioritization/operations perspective. So, I wouldn't completely overrule the possibility that the devs won't go back to rework the ignore system to make it more responsive as it was in the past.
