Tags and Genres: Selecting for exclusion

I sometimes find myself wanting to play something, and go browsing the site in order to find such a something. Often enough in these cases, what I want to play doesn't fit easily into the tags or genres available, or falls under particularly broad tags or genres.

However, even in these cases I can often easily-enough identify what I don't want.

Thus my suggestion: that in addition to the current functionality of selecting tags or genres that are to be required in a search, functionality be added to allow the selection of tags or genres to be excluded from a search.

This suggestion is made with regularity, for example this was last time.

Ah, my apologies--I checked the first page and some of the threads, if I recall correctly, but perhaps didn't search assiduously enough.

[edit] Given that, is there a thread for common suggestions? I don't see one, but I'm tired enough right now that I may have missed it. If not, then such a thing might be useful to have.

This has been suggested regularly (and is the most upvoted issue on Github), but has there been any word on if/when it might be implemented?
