Resolved: [Resolved] Filter threads to ignore list - gun threads

Is it possible to set up a filter with a keyword and automatically send it to my ignore thread list?

For example, the gun threads in hotdeals forum are really pissing me off. I would like to set up a keyword "gun" in thread titles so when I click hotdeals forum all the thread title with the word "gun" will not show up and instead sent to my ignore thread.

^^ This.

You can go to the front page and on the right hand side just above the front page deals you will see a box labeled "Preferences" Click on that, go to the left hand column and scroll down to "Sports & Outdoors" In there you'll see Guns & Ammo. You can slide the bar to dislike and you shouldn't have to see anymore deals for those items.

You can also filter them out of the Hot Deals forum if you wish. On the top left of the forum, click on the Filtering Options tab. Then click Edit on the By Category area. A box will pop with with all the categories and subcategories. Either type Guns in the text box or scroll down to Sports & Outdoors and either click the little + sign next to that category, and it'll expand to show all the subcategories. Click on the Guns & Ammo subcategory and you'll get a pop up where you can either include or exclude that subcategory. Click Exclude, then Apply. This will filter out any thread that has been tagged with the Guns & Ammo subcategory tag.

You also have the option to set the above filter as your default filter, at the bottom of the filtering options. Or if you don't want that as your default, you can choose to Save the filter you just set and then can just choose that saved filter whenever you wish.

No, filters don't just randomly disable. If you're seeing threads make it through, check to be sure they're tagged with your exclusion, and that your filters are actually active, then mention them here in SIS

I would like to see slickdeals take a bold and progressive stance and ban gun deals from the site. I'm not anti gun, but every other deal is for assault rifles and accessories. Top rated deals on ar-15s pervaded the site not even 24 hours after Sandy Hook. If we want to reduce future gun violence we need to start by thinking differently about guns.

This has already been brought up and answered. The best thing is to set them to ignore.

Considering that Slickdeals "corporate" is on this (privately owned) site, I don't think it will have much impact. If you want to discuss your gun views I suggest the Podium, I think that is a better forum for your views to be aired than the help section.
