I don't know if this is the right forum for this, but I'll try.
How can I block a developer from the search? If there is a developer that I just don't ever want to see when I browse or search in the KVR lists, how can I block them?
I've been away from musicking for a while, and upon returning, I see that there is (at least) one developer who appears to have been spamming a number of plugins using AI generated imagery for their UI. I personally find that unconscionable, and their willingness to use AI to generate the UI leaves me with zero confidence that similar theft hasn't been used in their code and/or audio.
I'm not asking for them to be banned from KVR (although . . . . . . . . . .) - I just don't want to see them, ever.
So, how can I make that happen?

If you have a problem with that, I have some bad news for you…

Is it truly spam? AI interface aside (which I’m not entirely opposed to), do the plugins actually work? Maybe you have a case of the plugins are genuinely buggy trash, but an AI interface is honestly not a problem to many people. I do know there are people who are “vibe coding” entire plugins through AI but that’s a different issue.
But no, there is no such method to block a developer

I don't really understand what people mean by "vibe coding." But just about every major corporation and most startups are using AI to build code and test at this point. If you took a drive through San Francisco right now, you'd see that absolutely every billboard is advertising AI coding and testing platforms.

Yeah. Shouting at the tsunami, running from the tsunami, having someone cover your eyes so you don't see the tsunami. None of that will stop the tsunami. About the only thing you could do is build your own tsunami and fight it at sea.
Then again that would make you part of the problem.

I think the "uneducated nobodies can vibe code a masterpiece app" spam is annoying but TBH I think it is peaking and starting to decrease as it hit critical mass a while back. I do agree app stores have tons of crap apps from it though.
Agentic coding assistant tools are simply a new part of the development workflow everywhere. They are actually built in to newer versions of most IDEs now so even tools like Cursor are likely already becoming obsolete. It's better to embrace and find out how to use it productively than to try and fight it.
