  I find that DDG does a pretty good job of filtering spam sites on its own. That's the biggest reason that I use it.

  The only reason we don't have it is we don't have accounts. I'd be happy to add it as a cookie setting for now if people would use it. Also, I'm also happy to take requests to ban these stupid sites for everyone.

    The only reason we don't have it is we don't have accounts. It's even really a complaint. I am glad that when I show up on DDG (which I still do several times per day) I get the same high-quality results without regard to who I am. I'm also happy to take requests to ban these stupid sites for everyone. The problem is that I have, for example, en.wikipedia.org marked as spam, simply so that their juice doesn't overwhelm my search results. It makes sense for me, but I suspect it's not even close to what your average user wants or expects. In any case, thanks for the recent addition of non-Google options for searches when DDG runs out of results. Small as it may seem, I consider that a major step in the right direction.

      An user marking a web as spam is hardly a problem. Haven't you used Gmail? If I tag a site as spam, DDG shouldn't show it to me. If a thousand users mark it as spam... then it starts to be clear that is a shady site, and DDG should eliminate it from its system. Uhm, but now we have a vector for script kiddies to ban sites from a... who knows, maybe in some years... major web search. Perhaps definitively removing a site should be done by a human operator.
