BUMP
I inadvertently relaunched the suggestion of this feature in another thread:
Since it's been raised again, it seemed appropriate to bump this thread. I hadn't realized this thread existed when I requested the feature in the other.
It's a great feature suggestion that would greatly improve the experience of using GWM. Kudos to @fastfrenchy for originally asking for it.
"I think it is quite evident which type of models are going to be the most blocked....." Not really.
But, it seems that Natalia Trukhina is the potential biggest target for blocking. I base this on the failure of her adherents to ever get her elected as Girl of the Week. There are many, many commenters saying unfavorable stuff on her uploads.
Perhaps an option might be to create a Natalia thread on The Forum. All of her uploads would be on that Forum thread. This could eliminate the perpetual arguments about the model and there would be no blocking. Those who like her can worship to their heart's content. Those who don't care for her can simply ignore the Forum thread.

...anecdotal observation. That's your basis.
Therefore, you're almost certainly wrong. Anecdotes are great for providing relatable examples, but are worthless for drawing conclusions. Only empirical data can reveal such answers.
But all that is irrelevant here. We're talking about giving users the ability to curate what they see. It will have zero impact on the experience of other users, and zero impact on scores because anyone that would block a model sure as hell isn't going to ever add that model to their favorites.

Force people to see models they don't like, and they're inevitably going to express their disdain. But if they can just block the models they never wanted to see in the first place, there's no reason to post negative comments. A blocking feature would significantly reduce such comments.
Personally, I don't have any problems with Natalia Trukhina. She's not one of my favorites, but she's interesting to look at in a surreal kind of way.
Personally, I'm fed up with seeing pictures on here of morbidly obese women. Trukhina isn't remotely obese.
Regardless, no model should be getting singled out in this thread. It's inconsequential and self serving. The only consensus any of us is ever going to reliably reach is that we like women with developed muscles that are visible... and anyone that doesn't like that has no business on this site in the first place.
"anecdotal observation......" Well, she's never won G of the W despite being nominated many times. That's fact, not anecdote.
"anyone who doesn't like that has no business on this site....." So now you're into censorship?
What morbidly obese women are you referring to? I can think of only one; and I've blocked out her name.

That doesn't make it a valid data point. The same thing can be said about countless other women on the site.

When you need to resort to overblown strawmanning, it shows you have no valid counter arguments. Go ahead and quote my own words back to me where I said anything about preventing anyone from viewing the site. You can't. You're just fabricating lies.
It's a bad look.

Carro Dahlen. Chainer has already explained his reason to keep her, and I've already acknowledged that she has somewhat visible arm muscle when flexing. I don't care if she remains on the site, I just don't want her in my personal feed.

Individuals are usually considered morbidly obese if their weight is more than 80 to 100 pounds above their ideal body weight. A BMI above 40 indicates that a person is morbidly obese.
i tink there are a lot of women that would fit the bill, natalia certainly but also someone like aline dessine or that other girl who mostly posts the same pose (this could be several women tbh). its not hard and fast or universal but i think there would certainly be some more "obvious" candidates
I think it is quite evident which type of models are going to be the most blocked. Well, as long as this system doesn't lower her score (or general visibility) I don't think there will be problems.
