A sight logging into reddit for me, https://people.xiph.org/~greg/temp/typical.reddit.png

gmaxwell: that's what the "block user" link is for
gmaxwell 2017-01-16 16:54:18
achow101: the problem with it is that you can't see any of their posts anywhere.
achow101 2017-01-16 16:54:36
do you really want to see any of those posts though?
gmaxwell 2017-01-16 16:54:37
or any responses to their posts.
gmaxwell 2017-01-16 16:55:01
The problem is people can figure out that you do it, then they start asking you really polite questions that you look like a jerk for ignoring.
gmaxwell 2017-01-16 16:55:36
And then start responding with "why are you ignoring my question ?" and so on. I assume that guy is specifically trying to get me to ignore him.
gmaxwell 2017-01-16 16:55:40
just to do that.
achow101 2017-01-16 16:57:24
that's what RES is for. ignore the user, don't see their posts, but see that it exists and the replies
gmaxwell 2017-01-16 16:57:32
I used to have a lot of people blocked until someone on the bitcoin project yelled at me for not responding to one of them.
gmaxwell 2017-01-16 16:57:52
Yea, I should try res again, in the past I used it and it slowed down every site on the internet because it was scanning pages for reddit links.
gmaxwell 2017-01-16 16:58:23
It's not like I'm actually irritated by stuff like that, it's just ... absurd.
saracen 2017-01-16 17:01:21
I wonder if they've thought that it takes longer to post than it does to read/ignore
grubles 2017-01-16 17:33:01
