Stosh (in the parent thread under the second reply) wrote of the possible ability of tag muting.
Dont want to have religion threads? Auto-hide #religion #god
Dont want abortion and gun controle on your Bnet? Auto-hide #abortion, #guns, and #politics for good measure.
I would love this option, and i hope it is implemented in an effective way by the end of the Beta.
Do you want the option? How would you use it?
I think it is important that we have the ability to use auto-hide / tag-mute in either only the mains or the mains and groups. [i]Some will want to hide #politics in the mains, but show #politics in their private groups, where they have a community with which they like to discuss such things.[/i]

It wouldn't work. I can make a religion thread tagged "offtopic fun lol catpics" and then you'll have to see it. Then people also tag politics or religion in their gaming threads so they can maximize who sees their thread.

Edited by ash: 1/28/2013 2:42:39 PMCould you maybe make the words in a thread title relevant... somehow? For example, if a thread title is "What's your stance on religion?", but it's tagged only with #offtopic, Bungie.net would filter it out if you have #religion blocked. The drawback would be, if someone writes "Oh my god, new Destiny info", that would be filtered if you have #god blocked. Though maybe that could be cancelled out if you're following #Destiny. Or maybe if a thread title contains a blocked word, it would be collapsed rather than completely muted. ... Gah, this is getting quite convoluted now to be honest though, so perhaps it's not such a good idea.

Originally, you tagged topics by typing the tag as part of the subject, there was no seperate tag field. We found that cumbersome and confusing in practice.
