Thread’s gone quiet but I have a curious question:
Just wondering if it’s only the case with this hidden tag. This hasn’t happened with any others for me. 🤔
Possible bug evidence:

Ciaran shared a very informative followup here:
Uhm … ok, let me see if I’m describing this back correctly.
Your filter is appropriately hiding or spoilering generator:stable diffusion
.
- When you look at an actual image with the tag, you see the
Tag Hidden
image.
- When you search for comments, comments on the image are shown if they match your search, but the preview of the image is
hidden
.
Ah. But normally when tags are hidden they don’t even show in searches for comments.
Ah, again. Double ah - You’ve got TWO tags SPOILERED on that image, and TWO tags HIDDEN.
When I make two tags SPOILERED and two HIDDEN on an image, and the tags are NOT AI related, then the image simply … huh … I still see the comment but the preview of the image is blank.
And if I make any two tags that have spoiler placeholders SPOILERED and two tags that have hidden placeholders HIDDEN, then I can find comments on that image, but the ‘spoilered’ image shows as ‘Hidden’.
By contrast, if there were any other two green tags
spoilered, followed by any other two green tags
hidden, none of which have any kind of placemarkers when they are spoilered or hidden, then you’d still see the comment but the image would just be blank because there’s no spoiler image for it.
So … it appears that you’re seeing the ‘Hidden’ marker because:
- You have a fairly diverse set of spoiler and hidden tags on the image
- The ‘hidden’ is not winning such that the comments are not shown
- Whether you see the ‘hidden’ message or just a void depends on the combination of spoilered or hidden tags
Now that I’ve reproduced what’s happening, I honestly am not sure what is supposed to happen.
You are searching for ‘comments’, but normally if there’s a hit and only one hidden tag on the image is hidden, then the comment doesn’t show up.
But if you search for the same ‘comments’ and there’s a complex set of spoilered and hidden tags, then the results are less deterministic.
Not sure if bug, ‘broken as implemented’, or just a weird edge case with no expected behavior except ‘try to not show image’.
It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the images being ai *
, but instead seems to be an artifact of how we handle complex filtering situations.
Maybe time to move this to the Site Bugs thread?
It’s a very long copy-and-paste, but I was honestly wondering if this is a bug or just how filters work when you have a Hidden and Spoiler tag on the same image.
TL;DR - AI generated
and AI content
are spoilered on my filter, but Stable Diffusion
is still showing up by some user’s comments, even though I have it hidden. Is there a bug involved? It never happened with any of my other hidden tags (and I have a lot).
