Can we have a "not interested" option for the auto-recommendations? That way once and for all we can get rid of the shows that we're not interested, and the second seasons of shows we've dropped from the recs (why are those even being recommended in the first place? If I dropped the first why would I want to watch the sequel??).

If someone wants to undo the not interested option, you could create something like the "watched topics" and "ignored topics" section, name it ignored anime or some shit, I dunno, and that'll be it.

Lastly, if what I said is asking for too much, at least make a simple 'X' option on the recommendations, quite basic I think?

I just want to ask, when it was the last time that a certain "change" happened on MAL due to "suggestion" threads.


Just sayin...

Might have been a year ago or so. It's very infrequent, but it does happen every once in a while. Something like this which has been ignored by the mods the first 5 times the thread was made won't be integrated because of a 6th.

@joe_g7 Noooo, and I wonder why I keep getting battle shonen and tear-jerkers "reccomendations". Dunno if MAL is getting money from someone somewhere to advertise these already super popular shows, but what the fuck in my list makes that algorythm think the first things I should watch are Angel beats, Attack on Titan, Kimi no na wa and Sword Art Online?

Don't call it "MY reccomendations" if it doesn't even try to adapt to the user ffs :'c

I have come across this suggestion multiple times, it's not going to happen.
Look at this thread for more information.

Uhmm no that's different. You can't put any anime in your list and tag it as "not gonna watch/interested/whatever" but in this case, most people want to refresh their suggestion so that it doesn't give repeats. Some kind of algorithm where it stores certain titles and offsets them to less probability would work without the need of adding a new list category.
I don't know why people write that they are approachable persons,
if you were you wouldn't be on MAL.

I agree. When I first started on this site about a year ago the suggestions were actually good and most of them went on my plan to watch list. Now it's just stuff like Naruto and Bleach and my recommendations list hasn't had any sort of change in months

If you're comming back at me regarding the reference, make sure you read it thoroughly. It's not going to happen.

What are you on about? This is no game where I am "comming" back at you or anything. It's not officially denied and my point still stands.

It is possible to come back at a statement someone made. That aside, I'll cut the legs of your statment so it falls down. Read the 3rd and the 4th comment, it has been denied.

@Mithres This is what you said to Jicetus, the reason you want a new list:
I know that that works, but I don't want that many anime in my dropped section, as that would imply that my dropped list would be as large as my completed list. It's a matter of taste, but I find that ugly.

I think before you start saying stuff like "cutting legs" or whatever, you yourself should carefully read what I'm asking for, cause you're obviously confused.

I don't want to continue this but I saw his post somewhere else and he just loves to irritate people. He just quoted someone out of context and subtly insulted him. Wish I could've presented the link because he's sure to ask for it. Anyway, let him be in his bubble and I'll be in mine.

ed1 - nevermind, I am a cunt and went through my history and got it out. Look here I kind of get the gist of his character but I am off hands on this thread if he just wants to tattle back.

Not confused I read what was written and I think I understood it quite well. I didn't ask for a separate list though, but did mention a not interested option. That aside, that cutting of legs part is just a little joke as @Iizbakaokay said that his point still stands. And well, you can't stand without legs so ... yeah, no physical legs.


Now, on to the next reply.

I indeed quoted something very similar recently and refered to the same thread as it is in my opinion a valid addition to the topic, however this was not done out of context, I read the whole page and then I replied.

Also I don't recall an intended insult when I posted that comment.
Saying that I love to irritate people is something else entirely, that's just nothing more than mere speculation.
Love that you refered to me correcting someone by the way. If you look up a word's definition and actually understand what the word means, you slowly start to talk less and less nonsense. I'm not claiming that I know everything, just pointing that out.
If you want, I don't mind having a conversation with you. I only got one condition, and that is that the conversation must be taken place outside of this forum, as it does not belong here. It is after all not relevant to a (reasonable) suggestion.

Edit: I see how I can come across as an arrogant jerk, not my intention though.
Modified some BBCodes I did wrong lol

Well, I'm still waiting for that "review changes" promised 2 or 3 years ago, when they broke the whole system by removing the Not Helpful button, just because some idiots haters were whining that their shitty ranting they call "review" were justly getting downvoted into oblivion.

What do we have now? The same idiots that casually put spoilers for OTHER anime in their shitty rantings and get upvoted (or vote themselves with fake profiles) to the top, just because haters gonna hate...

So no, don't count on any user proposal being implemented. They can't even implement what they themselves proposed...
Humans are suspicious and jealous creatures. When they see something perfect, they wanna find a flaw.

You have much to learn if you have not joined the witch hunt to down vote every anime that rises above our underrated favorites. I am currently on a campaign to get Training with Hinako into the top 12. Shit taste is hard to fight though, it's like trying to talk sense to an army of hallucinating loonies.

Any updates on this being included in future versions of MAL? Looks like an extremely useful tool!
