I noticed a problem with the tag blacklisting feature, found in the tag settings menu: The blacklist is not used for submission notifications. Even if a submission contains blacklisted tags, it appears normal when looking at your messages page.
This is a problem because I watch a few artists who do a mixture of themes, some which I like and some which I don't. For those I dislike, I wish for the submissions to have the blacklist warning covering its thumbnail please.
Speaking of tags and notifications, I noticed another problem I figured I'd report: The same submission can appear multiple times when using watched tags. For example: If you're watching artist "A" as well as the tags "B" and "C", then artist A posts a submission which also has the tags B and C... the submission will appear in 3 places, 1 for the watched artist and 2 for each watched tag. Would it be possible to collapse all notifications into a single one somehow?

Re: Tag blacklist not working for submission notifications
It's been an issue for a long while, unfortunately; watches take priority over blacklist entries. The same applies to any tags you watch, if a newly-uploaded piece has both a watched and a blacklisted tag, it'll show up in your inbox like normal. It would be great if the blacklist function was simply changed to have the higher priority in such cases.

Re: Tag blacklist not working for submission notifications
I'm fairly certain that this isn't something that can be fixed with a simple flip of a switch, and would take extensive coding to correct. Saftkeur, saying that it's a matter of priority would imply that the blacklist is incorporated with the messaging system already, but isn't used due to being considered less important than your watching. This doesn't seem to be the case. Rather, your messages page is legitimately a center for messages being sent to you; when something meeting the parameters of what you've requested to be sent messages on is posted, it is detected, and you are sent a message with a direct link to the submission. This bypasses the search function that the blacklist runs on, and thus bypasses the blacklisting function.
In order to fix this, the blacklisting system would need to be integrated by completely changing the way that the automated messaging system decides what to send you.
Here are links to some older threads made on the matter:
viewtopic.php?f=21&t=49559
viewtopic.php?f=18&t=45749
viewtopic.php?f=21&t=42831
viewtopic.php?f=21&t=37184
The consensus seems to be that most people are aware of the problem, but coding a fix would take a substantial amount of work. It'll get done eventually, I expect.

Re: Tag blacklist not working for submission notifications
In the mean time, you're best just to insta-scroll down to tags before reading/viewing anything.

Re: Tag blacklist not working for submission notifications
Thanks for the clarification Shortpig! That makes sense and is what I suspected: Tag blacklisting only seems to be used by the search function right now, nothing else... therefore it would need to be separately integrated into the notification system, which I assumed it was till I noticed today that submissions with blacklisted tags appear perfectly normal. I guess we must wait until a site programmer can take a look at it... not being able to avoid blacklisted submissions from watched artists is an annoyance, but something I can make do with till then.
