My take is that there isn't a good solution yet, but just let me block the author already. I think being asked to put up with the intolerable makes people pissed at point their fingers at ao3. If ao3 wants us to curate our own viewing experiences, then go full force on that decision and let us be able to actually moderate what we see by blocking certain authors. Being able to block certain tags is a move in the right direction, and being able to block certain authors is what I think will resolve the remaining issues.

I'm not here to answer a slippery slope question. I just think blocking the author in addition to blocking certain tags should've been implemented at the same time.

I just don't understand this, and I'm really trying to. Presumably if underage and RPF bother you, blocking those tags would be the end of it? Does seeing a author's name even completely removed from those tags genuinely bother you that much?

If I can make a real-life comparison, it's like the fact that Barnes & Noble still sells The Mists of Avalon despite MZB having done some heinous shit that really, really upsets me. They're not going to stop carrying it, there's nothing I can do about that, so it's sort of down to either just ignore the book or poke my own eyes out for having seen it. The former seems more logical to me.

Blocking a tag is not enough for me, especially if some authors use the wall-of-tags method in their fics. Sometimes I don't want to block everything, just people who use those tactics. If I want to block 20 tags for example, it's easy and already a feature of the site. If I want to block 20 authors who use spam tactics, then I would have to do that manually, even though the same website architecture is there for it.
