Posts with Alcohol Still Showing after Blocking

I do not want posts tagged with Alcohol showing on my New Deals feed.

Have them blocked as shown here.

They are still showing up.

The post shown only has the one 'Alcohol' tag.

What am I doing wrong?

It seems like other blocked tags are working, just not alcohol.

  • It's actually the Alcohol category — people were asking for the category to be created so they can block it, before tag-blocking was implemented. To block deals in the Alcohol category, go to your deals settings page, slide "Alcohol" all the way to the left and then "Save".

      Thanks, I suppose this is not retroactive?

              @jv: that was a long time ago!

      • scotty has been working hard on a MIB neuralyzer, but until Apple and PC makers start integrating it into their devices and release an API for it, there is no way for scotty to help you un see deals in the past.

        Its not retroactive
        Its not reactive
        Its not retrospective either which is what i think you mean

    • Okay, but that doesn't explain why deals tagged with "Alcohol" still show up on the front page, even when the tag is blocked?

      And if this is the only way to block certain things, could I make a Wiki page explaining that?

      • Because to stop Alcohol deals showing up on your front page, you need to block the Alcohol category not the Alcohol tag (which cannot be added to the deal anyway).

        • Yeah I understand that (now). However this isn't documented anywhere and a user (like me and the guy who started this thread) have no idea why alcohol posts are still showing up after we added the alcohol tag to our block list.

    Is it my imagination
    Or have I finally found something worth living for?
    I was looking for some bargains
    But all I found was cigarettes and alcohol

  • Tried clearing your cache?
    Tried logging in and out again?

    • Yes to both.

      Again, other tags are blocked without issue.

    • Have you tried turning it off and on again?

  • Tennis racquet?

    Who hurt chu buddy? :(

      I just don't want alcohol showing :)

      • Nah I meant what have tennis racquets done to you under the block new deals?

        • -1

          Ah! I honestly can't remember. Might have been a time when people were posting a bunch of tennis racquets and it bothered me.
          Or maybe it's a childhood trauma thing. 🤷‍♂️

    What's the purpose of the 'Banned' tag showing. next to Alcohol?

    • Because we actually DO NOT want people to use the Alcohol tag to tag their deals. They should be filed under the Alcohol category.

      • Gotcha. Thanks for that.

        Is this going to be on the test? I'm still learning the difference between tags and categories..

    Oh didn't even know this is a thing. Have blocked a bunch of things I don't care about, thanks for raising this post generally!
