The feature is good but we were thinking how we should [implement](https://meta.codidact.com/comments/thread/4896) it. 

I was looking at our [new design (Mock)](https://mattjbrent.github.io/) again. There was some method of filtering. The idea came to my mind after seeing that. 

We should implement "show if question has tag A" and "don't show if question has tag B". Confusion arise when a question has both tag. 

What if we add some kind of priority method? Like as, tag A has priority 4 (which was added by user not mod or someone else) and tag B has priority -3 so just show the question since total priority is positive. 

Again, problem arise if both tag has same priority so they cancel out. This time I will give my opinion, no matter what we add sooner or later they will cancel out. But sometimes, we hate topic A that's why we want to ignore that. Like as, a person who just started learning Newtonian Mechanics they won't understand Quantum Mechanics that's simple. Since he wants to ignore QM tag than don't show a question which include both cause I won't understand anything of QM. But I may understand little bit since they are talking about Newtonian Mechanics also. 

If we show that question than, the user (who wants to ignore QM tag now) will think that "I don't understand any single word here so it was completely meaningless to show the question." But if he understand little bit about QM than his priority might be around -1 or -2. So my suggestion is don't show a question if priority rate cancels.
