Topic: [Feature] Mark Blacklisted Parent-Posts as Blacklisted

Posted under Site Bug Reports & Feature Requests

Requested feature overview description.
Clearly mark links to parent-posts as blacklisted when they are in a user's blacklist.

Child-posts currently support this because they're displayed as thumbnails rather than hyperlinked IDs (the thumbnail is replaced with the "Blacklisted" thumbnail). Using the same kind of thumbnail preview for parent-posts seems like the most intuitive way to implement the feature, but prepending a to a blacklisted parent-post's link would work too. Either would let users identify blacklisted parent-posts without navigating to another page or conducting precautionary "forensics."Why would it be useful?
Currently, when a post has a parent, there is no straightforward way to tell if the parent is on a user's blacklist (apart from viewing the parent). Sometimes what looks like a link to a no-cum-version turns out to be, for example, a snuff-version. Marking blacklisted parent-posts accordingly would prevent these sorts of "surprises."What part(s) of the site page(s) are affected?
Pages for individual art posts, specifically links to parent-posts

That's a pretty clever idea, that could probably be implemented by simply changing the hyperlinked ID's to thumbnails +1

Yeah, what Ver said. That's a clever and excellent idea. I always wondered if blacklisted things were shown in the whole "child" and "parent" sections, now I know.

I have like.. two things on my blacklist and one of them's a user so I had absolutely no idea one way or another.

Regardless, I fully support this and am glad someone made the suggestion as it's an excellent one.

Would like to add that this would be a good thing to add to DText's post #xxx as well (and thumb #xxx if that's not already done).

If adding a [B] or whatever doesn't fly, one could always do like:

Parent Post

\#xxx

or:

Parent Post

\#xxx

Or something like that, though I guess some such things might be seen as flagged or deleted.

Or possibly having blacklisted above the parent post hyperlink, as it would avoid confusion and complaints from users that don't understand color variation

Of course users deserve a warning when they could click on something they've blacklisted. I've been unpleasantly surprised a few times after checking parent posts.

I can't understand why the parent's thumbnail isn't shown in the first place.

Old suggestion/complaint: I still want the mouseover thumbnail tag list to highlight/bold blacklisted tags.

Obvious features, really.
