Answered The blocking function

Am I right in thinking that all blocking does is stop a user messaging you?

I would like not to have to trawl through low effort, low quality posts (by the same users) to find quality posts.

I don't want to block entire subs, just the drivel posted by losers and addicts who don't work and therefore spend all day contributing nothing.

On VOAT, the block function collapses messages posted by blocked users, which is great, as you don't have to waste time reading their inane "contributions". Any chance of a similar function here?

Or am I missing something? (Which is of course entirely possible).

and I have already discussed about how that feature should evolve.

Its next update will be to hide posts from blocked users.

As for the comments, we've got two ideas (we're gonna submit a poll and let users decide which one they would like to see on poal)

In the meantime you can use the follow feature.

Excellent, thank you very much.
