Default Doujin

Any way in which I can filter out doujin game music albums as I browse? Although I love fan remixes, I'm not particularly interested when they are released, and feel they hide the real official game music releases and blur up the calendar.

I'd like to request this too. Give us the ability to hide all doujin content and make it a global setting that works across the whole site. I know some people like fan-made stuff, but I have zero interest in it. Plus it really clutters up the site since there seems to be like 39473979357 doujin releases per month lately. For example, browsing the calendar when looking for official releases is a huge pain in the butt.

I've trained my eyes to just block out anything orange on the site, but a real option would be way better.

This goes hand in hand with a way to remove anime or game albums from display. I think Blah has some ideas for how to implement this.

You're in luck, I have some free time this weekend so I'll be working on the global filter.

Another shout out for this. I'm sick of these Final Fantasy Organ collections popping up. Hah.

You and I are so on the same page. I saw those FF Organ albums pop up from the VGMdb Twitter feed and got semi-excited. Then of course I was immediately disappointed when I checked the site and saw they were that dreadful orange color.

I agree with this, and submitted this request (for Calendar releases) about a year ago:

If we could get a permanent / togglable filter or a preference in our user settings, that would be great.

This is in the works, and is probably the next major feature that will be implemented. It's a challenge though, because it means modifying every album query on the site.

For the calendar at least I think I'd be easier to add some quick javascript filter, no?

It's really not that hard to ignore stuff you're not interested in, guys.

But, because I'm bored and an insomniac here's a shitty userscript for the calendar, like Dag (sort of) suggested.

Code:
// ==UserScript==
// @name           Calendar filter
// @namespace      VGMdb
// @include        http://vgmdb.net/db/calendar.php?*
// ==/UserScript==

a = document.getElementsByTagName('A');

for(i=0; i < a.length; i++) {
    if(a[i].getAttribute('class') == 'albumtitle album-doujin') {
        n = a[i];
        if((n = n.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode).tagName == 'DIV') {
            n.setAttribute('style','display:none')
            if(n.nextSibling.nodeName == '#text' && n.previousSibling.nodeName != '#text')
                n.previousSibling.setAttribute('style','display:none');
            else if(n.nextSibling.nodeName != '#text')
                n.nextSibling.setAttribute('style','display:none');
        }
    }
}

Think of it this way. You've got a huge bag of M&Ms, and you really freakin' love the blue ones, but all you can see are orange ones. So, you agonisingly have to sift through them all just to find the one you want.

Doujin album releases... orange M&Ms.

I agree it is quite easy to ignore doujin releases usually, but it's pretty overwhelming on the release calendar.

Yeah like others say you can ignore them alright. It's not like I hate them or something. But every Event it's like f'ing Touhou Month in the calendar, it gets tiresome...
