To put it simply, I have both Safe and Questionable ratings in my blacklist to optimize gooning potential. But seeing the big white square saying Blacklisted in place of most avatars definitely detracts from the personality of people on the forums. I know it's literally one button press on the Posts page to toggle the blacklists, but I think the ability to separate it from either Avatars as a whole, or the Forum tag specifically, would be a positive optimization to the community aspect. I imagine I'm not a rare case of users who blacklist the non-Adult ratings.

/*disable blacklist for user avatars on Blips/forum*/
.forum-post .avatar .blacklisted .post-thumbnail-img, .blip .avatar .blacklisted .post-thumbnail-img { width: auto; padding: 0; height: auto; }

you can remove , .blip .avatar .blacklisted .post-thumbnail-img if you want to still hide them in Blips, if you ever use Blips.

How and where would I implement this?

paste it into your custom CSS box, it's in settings under advanced.

Go to your user settings, click on Advanced, then place it under Customization & Custom CSS.

Thank you, that's really neat!

I've wondered why we don't actually have a setting to disable blacklisting avatars, the preference exists and has been in that exact spot since 2019, before e621ng was even implemented (it isn't used, as denoted by the underscore)

A setting like this seems like it would be useful to me, and the spot already exists
That spot can't be realistically reused due to the requirement to clear it from all existing users, and it can't be fully deleted because how e621ng handles bitshifting is index dependent

yeah, the setting used to exist pre-ng, but it never got brought over for some reason.
