Blocking files with specific tags from category view
The tagging system was brought in a couple of years ago to help with that problem by allowing you to only see files in categories with specific tags attributed to them that provide a bit more drill-down depth in category browsing. However, what if there's a specific tag that you're really not interested in? Shouldn't you be allowed to pick tags you're not interested in as well as tags that you are interested in? Well now you can!
There is now a new tag blocking preferences page (accessible from your member area, or from the "more tags" drop-down menu in categories if you lose the link) that allows you to select any tags in the tag list that you don't want to see files for. For example, select the "Adult-only" tag and you'll double up on your Not Safe For Work protection. Don't want to see files in other languages? Select all the tags that are in the languages you don't speak and you'll not see any files in other languages when browsing categories.
A few notes on the effect and affects; this only affects the category view and not search results (it could be changed to affect search results, if needed), and files with no tags (like very old files) will be visible no matter what you select. Your tag selections are Nexus site specific, so they only work on the Nexus site you are changing them on as each Nexus site has different sets of tags.
I'm going to be doing a bit of tag spring-cleaning soon, adding some new tag filters and making some modifications so we can continue to categorise individual files as much as possible. I know, for example, that "skimpy" armours are a marmite situation: you either like them or you don't like them. And some people don't like them enough to feel the need to tell me they don't like them. So if mod authors were able to categorise these files with specific tags, then those folks who are uninterested in them could block those tags and hey presto, no more skimpy outfits for people who don't like them.
I'll update you on tag changes in the coming days/weeks.

A moderator has closed this comment topic for the time beingIn particular won't work very well due to two things:
1) Mods that have multiple language versions made by the same author.
2) Mods that are 'universal' and thus have all languages checked due to not containing in-game text.
Block the 'x' language tag and you block out a bunch of language-neutral gameplay changes or re-textures as well.
Skimpy clothing is clothing which reveals a lot of skin, such as armor's which don't even hide the private parts, etc. It's from the word Skimp as in to skimp on which pretty much means to barely even do what's needed, as in not doing extra work. Was that pedagogical enough?
The translator returns skinny, emaciated.
Filtering tags is a good idea. I personally have no problem with adult content but it becomes difficult to find something specific when there are 96 pages to browse.
Thank you for your continuous work, Dark
I've been wishing for something like this for a while, now, as it makes it much easier to help people find mods when you can exclude some things!
But, I would refrain from excluding language tags! Some mods (A few of mine included, like Kvatch Rebuilt and Viking Village) have multiple languages tagged, because of translations - so, for instance, some English mods would be lost if you exclude French or German tags...
