Small-Scale Question Sunday for June 23, 2024

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

I think being able to block one or two users- say, a pedo apologist, or those single issue text wall posters- is pretty reasonable. But mass-blocking everyone ought to be a banning offense.

It absolutely should not be a bannable offense, that's bonkers. If Zorba ever really feels strongly that blocking users is degrading the health of the community, then fine disable the feature. But a policy of "we will ban you if you use the feature more than we think you should" is some bullshit.

Yeah, agreed on this as well. If it's not meant to be used, it shouldn't be a feature. I mean, I hope that our code mechanics have enough control over the whole thing to be able to disable things that explicitely aren't meant to be used.
