ive tried adding things such as date:week and date:7_days_ago, but it has no effect on blacklist entries.

Interesting question. I thought the "meta-tags" all worked for blacklists too (I've blacklisted specific post IDs before, like id:12345 and that works fine), but I tested date:week in my blacklist on its own line and nothing happened as well.

not possible. the client-side blacklist only supports a very limited set of metatags like fav:me.

darn... I was trying to blacklist hyper_muscles and it can get posts which arent a severe example of the tag, and might be something I would like. theres probably some number of mistags too. im blacklisting by -score:>=150 to try and get posts people like, but sadly that means newer posts can get caught in the blacklist.

The full list of supported metatags is here: https://e621.net/help/blacklist#metatags
It's not as limited as it used to be. But yes, not everything is supported.

It's theoretically possible to add support for the dates – the blacklist has access to that information.
But it's a lot of work, which simply does not seem worth it. The vast majority of users have very simple blacklists.

My only suggestions are to either set the score part to a negative so new posts are less likely to be affected, or look into perhaps a more specific related tag you can narrow down on to blacklist or exclude.

Sorry for the necro, but I figure this is better than creating another thread with the same topic, and I wanted to add something.

I expected the date metatags to work when used as a blacklist item because the score:<n metatag does. Does this mean that there are two separate and different implementations of the parsing and application of metatags, one for blacklists and one for searches?

4 days is not a necro, the general consensus is >1 year or >6 months

Yes. Blacklists are client-side.

Yes, this is correct.

The search is handled server-side in Ruby and passed on to ElasticSearch.
The blacklist is handled client-side in JavaScript.

Huh.

Hey, does that mean I could hack on it in my browser? I mean, I'm obviously going to try, but I'm curious if there are any guides or docs, or if you're aware of any stumbling blocks I should know about.
