Answered Can we add two security features here on Poal?

Every security respecting site has two security features:

PRIVATE MODE will hide post and comment history from others.

DISABLE FOLLOWERS will prevent other users from following.

With these two security features, Poal can be officially considered safe.

Why is disabling people from following you a security feature? If you don't want people to know what you say why would you join a site that is dedicated to free speech?

Because trolls use this to spam in threads. As simple as it gets.

About this sub

If you wish to report a bug, please do so on .

The official sub created to allow the Poal community to suggest ideas on how Poal can be improved while at the same time allowing people to comment and vote on suggested ideas.

This will make it easier for people to hear what the community has to say and to keep a record of what people wish for.

Keep your ideas short, if possible, narrow it down to one sentence. Anything longer than that will likely go unnoticed. Be straightforward.
