[X] My Assistant

I know I can hide uploaders, but that's not what I want to do here.
There's some galleries that get "updated" with one pic every two weeks or so, and keep popping up in results as new even though it's the same trash you wanted gone the first time.
Is there any way of hiding them, without having to resort to blacklisting the uploader or making the author an excluded tag?

Both of those options would hide other galleries that I want to keep visible, is there no way of just nuking single ones?

Probably not.
Even if you hid it through css or something, you may find yourself with a hole where the gallery was supposed to be, may be even more disturbing

Yeah, closest is to use some script to hide it via CSS by detecting the title (and hoping it never changes).

Is there a reason the feature doesn't exist?
I know purely negative searches have been denied because of the server strain they'd cause, but would the option of hiding single galleries cause the same problem?

Probably too expensive on the engine to allow en masse flaggings of singular gallery chains.

My userscript has a function that does this. It basically blacklists a favorite category and removes all galleries in this category from search results. It is a secure method since favorites apply to gallery chains and are not affected by updates and title changes.

The code below is again an extract from my private userscript. The constant "BLACKLISTED_FAVORITE_CATEGORY" specifies, well, the name of the blacklisted favorite category, and the default name is "Blacklist". You will need to rename one of your favorite categories to this default name via "My Home" -> "My Settings", and/or change this constant in the code. Then you just add the galleries you want to hide to this category and you will not see them again. The search result message will let you know if some galleries have been hidden by this blacklist userscript. Blacklisted galleries are still visible in the favorites page, so that you can whitelist them if needed.

I have not really used this function since I wrote it but come to think of it, it is actually pretty useful. I am sure some banana-haters would find it a necessity.

EDIT: Userscript removed. Please see updated version below.

Couldn't that be solved by giving users a small amount of blacklisting slots, with them being upgradeable like favorites?
I don't think a huge amount would be needed anyway, this is just to remove those eternal low quality western galleries that get updated every single week for years.

My userscript has a function that does this.

Thank you, though having to pollute my favorites page with galleries I hate isn't ideal.
A site-side solution would be great, if there is a way to make it less intensive.

You're free to ask the big guy himself.

Is there a thread for such purposes, or should I just PM?

PMing is faster.

The favorite exclusion search was removed because it was resource-intensive (and hardly used), and I think a blacklist filter would not be possible for the same reason. A second-stage blacklist filter might be easier though.

Ok, I upgraded it a little to avoid polluting the full list of favorites, where galleries from all favorite categories are shown together. Now it will only show the blacklisted galleries when you select the blacklisted category on the favorites page. Note that if you have too many blacklisted galleries, then the full list will become a lot shorter and browsing can be less efficient.

Do galleries change IDs when updated? You chould just target the gallery ID and keep the list within the userscript storage instead.
(I don't see a lot of these continually updated galleries since I only usually browse doujin/manga categories. But I did blacklist keywords in title "incomplete", "sample", "updated" etc. which helps as well. Though, in my case, I never want to see updated/partial galleries so it works for me.)

Yes.
