What does "furry -rating:s" mean?

Greetings, this is just a basic question.

By default I started with a blacklisted tag called "furry -rating:s", I tried disabling it and a large mixture of furry art suddenly was revealed that wasn't before. I do not know what this rating means? Like, what determines if a work has that tag?

Also, ever since I tried removing that from my blacklisted tags I have not found a way to put it back in for some reason, any idea why that is?

Thank you for your time.

"furry -rating:s" in your blacklist means that any post tagged furry that isn't rating:sensitive will be hidden by default.

I have not found a way to put it back in

It should be as simple as writing it on a new line in the "Blacklisted tags" box, and clicking the Submit button at the bottom to save your settings.

Danbooru is a community run site, users volunteer to upload, tag and rate the various posts.
The query "furry -rating:s" searches for posts tagged furry that *are not* rated s(ensitive).

Posts on danbooru are split into 4 ratings, general, sensitive, questionable and explicit, with general being the most sfw and explicit being the most nsfw.

To add something to your blacklist go to My Account -> Settings -> scroll down to the blacklist -> enter tags you want to filter and then press submit.
Eg: furry -rating:g,s which would hide posts tagged furry that are rated q or e.

You can learn specific search parameters here, and how the rating system works here

This parameter was also added when the S rating was Safe, meaning that it would functionally try to block any furry art that was sexual in nature. The default blacklist should be updated to display rating G if we want to keep the original function.

"-Rating:g,s" doesn't work in the blacklist, that would only count the g and ignore the s. It has to be "-rating:g -rating:s" or "~rating:q ~rating:e"

Adding to that, is:sfw combines G and S in normal searches, but won't work in blacklists. Adding furry -is:sfw to the blacklist will just block all furry posts.

The default blacklist was changed to include "furry -rating:g" almost two years ago.

Hmm, thought this was a new user's question. If they disabled it a couple years ago, that would make more sense.

Greetings.

Thank you all for the replies, I have figured this out with these replies and looking more around the site. I joined many years ago but only thought about the blacklisting section more recently.

I now have things set up the way I want them.
