The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

I have one problem with this. until now children could have surfed this side without seeing explicit or gory stuff here, because of the default setting. (Register and Logging in is another matter) Now they only need to toggle to see “all image” and they see all the “gross” stuff. I don’t think this was thoughtful. Because i know that we in Europe have some pretty strict child protection laws and i think you need to check it. (In germany they are so strict you won’t find many german porn sides with .de) But I don’t know how strict they are in the UK.
 
Of course no one really gives a dam. But

Derpibooru is not hosted in the UK and is not subject to UK law. The servers are located in France, and subject to those laws.
 
We comply with most legal frameworks for restricting access to material; you must opt in to viewing material that is explicit/questionable. We could perhaps make it clearer that the All Images filter will make porn visible, and we might rename it to All Images (NSFW) but atm we’re keeping the names short until we reshuffle the layout up there. We’ll sort all that out in the next week or two.

OK, i thought you were still in the uk and france.

Then when i’m logged out, i shouldn’t be able to see this kind of stuff? Because i can’t see a opt in popping up when i go to the “see all images” option. At least not in the moment.  
But i don’t know how this is set in the cookies and maybe this just pops just up the first time and then it is safed, even if i’m logged out (on the same computer and user that is).

You opted in the moment you hit “All images” ¬_¬
 
But yes, we’ll get on it.
 
As for the hosting thing, the live server is located in France, so we need to comply to their website rules. However, the backups are kept in the UK, so we need to also comply to their rules regarding “what sort of shit you can keep on file”.
 
Laws are fun.

Compared to how things were with the old system, it’s very frustrating and complicated to spoiler, hide, or unhide a tag.  
Since I don’t tend to change my browsing habits much (say, to either allow or disallow clop), but do occasionally want to add new tags to my hidden or spoilered lists (as I come across annoying memes, for example), I’m seeing this update as a straight downgrade.

I see the option to copy and customize the default filters but there doesn’t seem to be a way to copy and customize my own existing filters.
 
Is there a way to copy my own filters to customize?

It’s literally one more click whenever you want to do those things - rather than go to Settings, you go to Filters -> Edit whatever filter it is you use. I get that it’s slightly more effort but I really don’t see how it can be that much more frustrating and complicated than it used to be. Also, this means that you will no longer end up having your personal filter settings affected when we elect to change the site defaults, as happens sometimes. The system is a bit more fiddly, okay, but it’s also much more powerful and gives you more control over your settings; we will be working on improvements to the UI which will hopefully make this easier to use for you.

I’m just going to stick to my legacy filter, so all this update does for me is add an extra click or two when I want to change something. Kind of a neat concept, though.

While I agree the UI is indeed getting a bit cluttered (in fact I have to run both custom CSS and a GM script that puts some tabs in a dropdown menu since my browser’s only 1000px wide) I have no doubt that this will be improved in due time.
 
I just want to say that I, for one, very much appreciate the fact that a site is giving its users more powerful options and more control over their settings, instead of the other way around. I don’t have the need to be able to quickly switch between settings (I have another account logged in on a different domain for API reasons), but really, functionality like this is worth the extra click.

Oops. I phrased my question wrong.
 
I meant to ask: Is there a way to copy my own filters to customize?

This is awesome, you guys are awesome, please keep up with these incremental improvements.
 
One thing – with other peoples’ filters, there is the option to ‘copy and customise’. For my filters I can edit them, but it might be nice to have a ‘copy and customise’ option for my own filters too.

The current All image filter allows BP to view contents like explicit and grotesque with a few mouse clicks, with no warning. I think there should at least be a message that say what it will reveal.

We’ll be sorting this out along with some UI changes later on.

So watched tags no longer abide the filters list, right? Can we get a section for Hidden and Spoilered stuff in the watch list too then? Or the ability to apply a filter to the watch list?
