Forums » Suggestions & Development Discussion » Hiding Topics that are personally triggering

Trigger warning tags and titles are fantastic and useful to avoid something, but even then the tagged title can be unsettling for some people as it is.

I don't want to silence anyone, but I am afraid that certain forums are becoming triggering in a way that I cannot even enjoy them myself. I come to RPR to remain in a fantasy setting and escape troubles I've faced in my life. Like thousands of other users do. I am certain this has been suggested a hundred times over.

However, like facebook allows, I wish it was possible to "hide" specific things. I don't want to hide a user or anything like that, but instead hide threads in general.

Sometimes that tag at the top isn't enough or becomes the problem itself. My friends will comment on a blocked persons post and that will still show in my dashboard. A topic with a triggering title will show in my dashboard and I can't get rid of it unless I suddenly unfollow my friends, which I don't want to do, most especially for the more active ones.

I would just really like to be able to hide forum topics so RPR can remain the trouble free RP site that I came here for it to be.

I agree! Something like a system where you could set a list of words so that they will hide topics with said word(s) in the title or maybe even in the post?

I would be happy with just being given the option right next to reply and report that says "hide" so I can just get rid of it. I would want it to hide from my dashboard and the forum page.

That sounds alot easier on the codding work too.. I didn't think of that.

It's probably not really an option to code now, but if this could be a feature implemented when crafting (coding) the RPR version 2.0, that would be amazing and much appreciated. I love lurking the forums, but the ability to hide things that I deem extremely negative and potentially damaging to my mental health as I read it over and over again, (checking a particular forum multiple times for updates on topics I enjoy/to see what's new), would be invaluable.

I will look at this very seriously with the rebuild.

Personally I don't care to shield myself from anything. I dunno, maybe it's stubbornness. I don't ever use blacklist settings on anything and you bet your ass I've beat my head against the wall because of it more times than I can count.

But while I don't particularly care about what I see (despite sometimes really not liking what I see), it could definitely prove useful for some people.

THANK YOU, KIM. I am looking forward to seeing where RPR goes with the rebuild. I know it's a long ways in the making, but I'm excited.

I completely agree, that would be awesome if there was a setting to do that.

I'd be super excited for this feature, too.
