Hi y'all. What I'd like most isn't *more* tags, but actually a way to sort by things I *don't* want. For instance, suppose I want a free browser-based game that has gamepad support, but I really *don't* want dating sims, novels, platformers, or gay furry erotica. I *do* want to keep myself open to things that might fit into the "other" category though, so I don't want to limit myself to just action/adventure. Having a way to exclude tags and genres would be infinitely more helpful to me, the casual browser, than a zillion more tags to include.  I think it would also fix some of Minoh Workshop's problems.   

 It would also be nice if while I'm logged in there was a way to take games I've already played, games I've personally rated below a certain threshhold, and games I've individually excluded from search results off the top page. I've already played "Aubergine". I liked it enough, but I never want to play or see it again, and it wouldn't hurt my feelings if never again being reminded of its existence meant cleaner search results.

Thank you.

Second this idea.  You have a little plus icon next to the tag to add it to my existing tag, all you need is a minus as well.  Can't imagine this being terribly difficult to implement.  More complex operators like and/or could also be helpful.

Horror is the worst culprit. Your 90% is not an exaggeration. 2 YEARS on since I made this suggestion, and Itch has become even more unusable. I don't use the site any more - I only play the pop-up suggested game if it's free/cheap and am working my way through a bundle I bought  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hi y'all. Can I bump this topic? Site's still an unusable mess. Thanks!

Taking their sweet time to add this, hm?

Please read this recent topic.

Man, you've been contending with this issue a bunch from what I've seen, god rest your weary soul
