Exclusion Tags Feature

Good Day!

May I know when the exclusion tags feature will be implemented on the site? I already saw this post: https://itch.io/t/160014/can-i-use-exclusion-filters

But if possible, I'd like an easier one and would like to exclude multiple tags. In my case I care little about demos and games with adult/sexual content.


Thank you!

I can’t really say anything about exclusion tags, but there are some workarounds to the issues you’ve mentioned.

To prevent adult content from appearing in search, you can go to “Settings” -> “Profile” and untick the following option:

[ ] Show content marked as adult in search & browse

Keep in mind this will hide all games that the developer has marked as adult-only> Apart from ones with sexual content, this also include games with extreme violence and similar themes, that are not for children.

I’m not sure what you mean by “demos”. Are you referring to games that only have a demo but not a full version? In that case there should be a filter somewhere for games marked as complete, I believe.

Hope this helps

Hi! I know how to fiddle around with the status of the game, but in order for me to do so, I have to look up for a released game and click on the released text in order for the games to be filtered out. The release status on the left side of the screen, below the filter results won't normally show that unless you do the steps that I mentioned above. 

For the exclusion tags, while I do appreciate what you mentioned, I think it would be easier if there is a simple and dedicated feature for exclusion tags here on the site. I only mentioned adult/sexual content tags but in actuality, I'd like to filter out multiple tags that I'm not interested in like: Adult, Shooter, FPS & Shoot 'Em Up in one go. 

To put it simply, I'd like the exclusion tags to be more easily accessible here on the site and for the status of games to show up properly in the filter results, instead of the users doing a workaround. 

I believe I'm not alone in wanting a feature like this being implemented on the site.

Hope what I said makes sense!
