| hi, so I don't want to watch One Punch Man, Naruto and Attack on Titan. It has occurred to me that there is no way of blacklisting them, the closest thing I can do to them is to put them to Dropped and don't give them any score, but they still appear in recommendations and shared pages. |

| This is another reincarnation of the Anime-Planet style 'Won't Watch' option. I support it, but it was flat out turned down by the staff with the weak excuse, that they don't see reason to add a list of what you won't watch. But who gives a damn about automated site recommendations anyways. It's really crude and only goes by popularity and matching genre tags. It's useless so just remove it from your panel. |

I understand your point and I have the same opinion , it's one of the thing MAL could have the option to "blacklist" anime and manga. But yes you should ignore that like Heldengeist said. |
| Came on here just to make this topic but found this instead, but honestly I agree. It'd be a great idea to make the recommendations tab better, simply because how it is currently sucks. I think they could take some inspiration from Steam's "Discovery Queue" with just having easy ways to add something to your list, a button for ignoring it, and so on. Most people don't use the feature because it is terrible, and that can easily be changed if staff puts in a little more effort. |
| does anyone even look at the generic anime recommendations? not worth the time/effort needed to set up the feature. |

| Calling it blacklisting doesn't sound right but yes there should be a way to reject individual recommendations so they stop coming up. |
| How about you just don't watch them and don't put them on your list? Problem solved. |
It doesn't solve anything at all, since OP's problem is with how the recommendations work, not those specific shows. |

Tyestor said: Skip past those recommendations? Then there's no point to having such facility, and it'd be much better if it gets removed. Simply saying skip past those recommendations isn't gonna solve anything. Either don't have such thing, or make it work properly.

That's exactly what we're asking for a feature of. Tyestor said: Or, better yet, realise that those shows are recommended for a reason. Don't be so prejudiced against something you haven't even seen because you've been hearing random shit about them that probably isn't even correct. The simple matter of fact is that wanting a feature to skip recommendations and/or suggestions on a site like this doesn't come down to such childish reasoning, there's countless more reasons as to why you'd want an option to skip a series in suggestions and/or recommendations. If your reason for skipping it is hearing bad about it from others and having prejudice, then you probably already know about it and you don't even need to see it in your recommendations/suggestions. Anyways, a huge reason is the fact that they only give you a small amount of suggestions and recommendations, and even with it updating every so often you still get the same stuff, over and over. Many sites that have recommendation/suggestion features have this sort of thing. IMDb, Steam, and I'm certain other similar sites. It's simply a handy and necessary addition if you want your suggestions/recommendations feature to be any good. Tyestor said: This suggestion is just pointless work for the dev team, and they're lazy enough as it is. Quality of life improvements on websites are always a must, and even if the dev team doesn't typically implement suggestions, there's no real reason to shoot down ideas. Whether or not something is pointless, good, or anything else is completely subjective. As it stands, pointless is harmless. Even if you don't use a feature and think it's shit, that's fine, but it being shit is the reason why we suggest it get improved in the first place. If nobody uses it because it's shit, it would never hurt to change it into something good. |

I'm not going to like the second season if I didn't like the first season, so what reason could it have for recommending it to me? |

You don't need a feature for that lol. Use your eyes and brain and skip past the shows you have already seen or don't want to watch. TL;DR the rest of your response.

Your issue is with the shitty recommendation algorithm, which is never going to be improved, because the devs are simultaneously lazy and have bigger fish to fry (for example, the 133 pages of suggestions, most of which have never been implemented). |

| We seriously need this. Sick of repetitive recommendations of things I know I'll hate. |
on Tyestor said: You don't need a feature for that lol. Use your eyes and brain and skip past the shows you have already seen or don't want to watch. TL;DR the rest of your response. If you actually read any of my response past that you'd see why people want it, but to put it simply: Every site with the feature has it because it makes it a good feature that functions, and on top of that, MAL has limited suggestions. "Just skip past the shows" isn't an option when the tab only has maybe a dozen or so slots all filled with stuff that you're most likely not interested in. Because of how limited it is you don't actually discover anything, at all. It's broken and useless and should improve. |

This by now is off topic of the suggestion at this point but if you would like recommendations or suggestions feel free to message me on here, twitter, or discord. I can more than certainly find something you'll enjoy. |

One of the things I could do now is to look at the MAL's recommendations |

| Would really like this feature. There are so many anime that I know I'll never ever watch but they still keep poping up and getting in the way when I search for anime to watch and its really annoying. |
Major_Norman said: Can we also add an option that hides all animes/mangas that are on our list from the advanced search. That feature would also be super useful for finding new shows as well. |
| I also support the idea. It can't be that difficult to add this feature, right? I like the idea of having a "Won't Watch" list for the sake of avoiding recommendations from friends/others of shows I have no interest in, without having to explain to them directly why I don't want to watch it lol |
