Since a small number of groups are responsible for a large number of my personal frustrations with the releases page, the filter was added. For me personally, it gets annoying having to sift through titles I may be interested in, only to click through and find there's absolutely no way I'd have any interest in them. And often enough, there's either no genres set, or the ones that are set, are set incorrectly or are insufficient. I don't think the "rage" in this case had to do with a bigoted personality — more just a sense of frustration.

I don't think it has to do with hatred, if someone is filtering something they don't care about out of a list of things they look through all the time. It's just being efficient.

To add to lambchopsil's post, we're not moving the ability to add a group filter to the User CP. That will stay on the group page (unless Manick decides otherwise). There will, however, be a list of all your filtered groups included on the "Release Filtering" section of the User CP, which will allow you to view and remove the groups you currently have filtered.

Or they just don't want to waste their time looking through a list of things they won't have any interest in reading.

I totally agree. Maybe I would like to see something like the genre filtering with colors.
Thx for the new feature.

Most of the releases by Little White Butterflies are not added by the scanlator... and the guy that adds will not add any series.

Cool now I can filter out yaoi, yuri, and shojo. Those types of stories just don't interest me.

I don't suppose you can make a feature that highlights some group's release could you?

While I probably won't use this feature I wondered if there is a possible extension to it where you can highlight a group's releases? There are a few group of which I will read pretty much all of there releases but may not have new series on the Wish List etc so occasionally miss their releases when I'm in a hurry (or being lazy and not reading the whole list). Being able to highlight would be quite handy ^^

i filter out Yaoi unfortunately there are a lot of Yaoi doujin that arent marked as yaoi or in the data base that sneak through the filters. this allows me to block groups who do unmarked yaoi.

"...though I know many hateful people are just going to use it for [yaoi]....but most will just be homophobes" dude how is it homophobic to not want to see yaoi, I have been scanlating for years but i know that the scanlation world wouldnt be the same without them however i have no interest to read about 2 men having sex. does this make me racist or homophobic? please stop trying to troll bait people.

would it be possible to move it below the genres (but in the same box). So its not in the way, 95% of the groups pages i go to are groups i read and want to get to their IRC/dl page and not to block them. being up front is kind of in the way, and because theres no confirmation page i (or someone else using my computer) might accidentally push it without realizing it.
