Ask the Mods Important Site Questions (V2)

1. A single user can have dozens of filters each with the same tags in them; we would have to make a single “filter” for each user that has all tags, else the count is inflated
2. Many users just use complex filters instead of simple filters; parsing these into a simple “this tag is filtered” would be a serious undertaking
   • they can be there as a simple exclusion, like in a simple filter
   • they can be there with conditional exceptions (tagB unless with tagA)
   • they can be the exception itself you never want filtered
   • they can be used as a global exception (an always-on search)
   • they can be using a term that’s aliased (eg. tx instead of trixie)
3. As a lesser / more pedantic issue, people often filter a parent tag that implies the actual tag they want to filter, ie. filtering all of “grotesque” when you just wanted to filter “scat”
4. Similarly, a lot of people are perfectly content using one of the default filters, or a shared public filter; do the tags in those filters also count per use?

And what would you say if I told you that Hasbro, the very reason this site exists, emphasizes diversity, equity, and inclusion in their products, their hiring and corporate mission, and their supply chain? The very things that you appear to hate?
