'My anime suggestions' is a good feature and helps in seeking out anime that you have not seen and/or are aware of. The issue is that I'm getting suggestions of anime which I'm aware of and don't want to watch, ever, for various reasons. These anime tend to fill up the entirety of the suggestions. I'm looking for a feature where I could add those anime to an ignore list so that they never pop up in 'My anime suggestions' and the ability to edit that ignore list if need be.

Hmm, I actually like that idea. Not that I really bother to look at the suggestions anyway, it would be nice for others.

+1, I agree all of my anime suggestions are some that I don't want to watch/will never watch in the near future.
(This has been suggested before in a couple of threads)
MAL definitely needs to add this feature or at least give a new suggestion on every refresh or login. I find anime/manga suggestions useless as of now.

This is must-need. I don't want Naruto, One Piece, Fairy Tale, etc recommended on every single list I see.

This seems fun
If we can eliminate the stuff we know we can expose ourselves to the anime that need more attention :]

Yes absolutely agree. I am not interested in any of the anime suggestions that they recommend we should be able to ignore the ones we aren't interested in and they should be able to replace it with other shows they always recommend Naruto, Bleach I am not interested in those shows they should update the recommendations for everyone each time you log in

I actually wanted to suggest this exact thing too. I strongly agree that such a feature would be most welcome. Because the way it is now, the suggested anime/manga thing is just completely useless. 100% of the titles I see there I already know and don't want to watch or read.

Glad I'm not the only one that gets shitty recommendations and wanted to suggest this.
Hardly a personal recommendation if everyone gets the big three etc.

Agreed.

I'm not having this issue with my anime recommendations - but my manga recommendations are everything light novels I would not even try to touch when I'm drunk.

My suggestions are I guess somewhat accurate? There are some series I have thought I would never watch but in the past ended up watching anime and completely changed how I thought about a series so I guess it's alright.

Maybe for those who get bad suggestions here is a suggestion for you: stop watching shitty anime so it could stop recommending you shitty anime.

Funny thing you should say that, because my suggested anime are, among others: Kiseijuu, Bungou Stray Dogs, Mob Psycho 100, Overlord, ReZero and Haikyuu. :P
And I have absolutely no interest in any of them.

A quick temp-solution for this problem is to simply set any anime/manga you don't want to see as 'Dropped' - doing this will cause MAL to remove it from your suggestions list.

It's not perfect ('Dropped', to me at least, gives the impression I started reading/watching as opposed to 'Ignore') but the end result is the same if you just want to clear unwanted stuff from your suggestions list.

Yeah, I wanna be able to dismiss recommendations that I don't like too. Also, recommending second seasons when I haven't watched the first season is rather annoying.

Yeah I've sort of been doing this, except I force myself to watch one episode so I can drop it immediately

You don't have to watch an episode to drop it. You can set it manually through the status drop menu.

Well I do it, because I feel bad if I don't do that
