Topic: Suggestion: Tag-Album

Posted under General

Over time i noticed something in e621: some Pictures with the same tags/Characters get spamed and you can see nothing else except these pics, that can become annoying... even if you usually like this tag, it becomes annoying if there are much of them with low quality, so my idea: Tag-Album!

How does it work?
I thought about an Automatic collection of same tags/Pictures which got submitted very fast in a short time which get put in an album, and shown as one single tumbnail in the search... if you open it, you see a second list with all related pictures which was collected in this time. this doesnt count for tags/Pictures which got send slowly, also general tags like MLP, male/female, Pokemon (very often related tags) shouldn´t be affected. that would keep e621 a bit clean, and i wouldnt get annoyed by pic-spam of temporary popular characters/Tags.

that was my 2 cent

If I understand correctly, a better way might be to just fold the additional thumbnails away, with a little 'fold/unfold' icon in the corner, and auto-unfolding after hovering for X amount of time.

Your idea would work best if the criteria was simple enough that it could be implemented client-side, in the same general way that the blacklisting is, IMO.
You would definitely need to clarify the criteria ( eg. 3+ tags shared between consecutive posts) before this had any chance of being implemented.

Hmm. What if posts had a little checkbox under them? YOu could look at posts as uploaded by this user, or by that user, click a link at the side of the page to enter album mode, which makes the boxes show up, and then mark a group as an album. This could be very useful for making pools, as well!

Of course, albums would suddenly stop existing once you exit it, so you gotta just edit the pools and tags while you're there, to reduce server-side issues. Handle it entirely on the client-side.

1. You can search "gender -ischild:true" to block images that are slight variations. "ischild:true" does not work on the blacklist.

2. You can link a "gender -pokemon -mlp -sonic -whatever" search in your user info or bookmarks.

3. Don't like a bunch of similar images together?

female, today's date, random order. You get the order shuffled, so no 20 sonic/mlp/eevee pics in a row, but it's all new content.

(see my feature suggestion here )
