I’ve noticed that recently this community has had a lot of posts that have general, useful but not extremely important advice, like a lot of cooking stuff and such (I won’t name any names but I think you all know what I mean), as opposed to what this community posted a while ago: very crucial information.

Any thoughts on this?

    I had to sign out to see those posts…

    Which should tell you how effective the block button is when you have an issue with a single poster.

    Waaaaay more effective than making a post about it.

      Hey interesting, I have no awareness of the cooking posts either! I’ve been around for more than 2 years… I very quickly realized that this platform is a piece of trash… The only way to cut through to the good content is to block 50% of the contributors.

      I must have blocked whoever posted those a long time ago and I never saw them.

      Blocking users is a wonderful feature. Most people have absolutely nothing to say and you only dishonor yourself by falsely believing that a democratic discussion forum is useful.
