Anyway, I hope people found this useful, because we have a lot of great features that a lot of people don't know about! If you have any questions ask away and I'll be happy to help.

    You can already block their DMs if they DM you, but we're working on a more general block button, it's near the top of our to-do list

    It looks like it's not necessary to have people DM you, only to get a "message" from them, including just a reply comment.

    Thanks. I feel like I belong! Don't give in to the government! Fight the fight.

    Wow, I just realized that Swartz predicted the jannie menace before it appeared.

    He did? What is a "jannie"?

    Please mention the "Friends" feature and the "Friends" sub, it allows for content filtering through whitelisting, and not blacklisting (like moderation).

    This is useful when you feel like reading less but higher quality content.

        On the home page, on the right of the screen there should be these three white boxes under the search box, the bottom one saying"create your own sub". Click there and customise your sub.

        That included some nice features I hadn't noticed before.

        I'm not seeing the "mute sub" button/link/whatever?

        [–]magnora7[S] 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

        It only appears in /all and /comments, under each post

        A little late to this post, it might be worth mentioning the detailed Markdown Commenting guide in the wiki.

        magnora7, I think I forgot to mention to you the other day that I'd overhauled it recently. d3rr seemed impressed. I have a few more minor new things to add.

        And lastly, if something is funny and insightful, you can vote both at the same time!

        Wait, so is the "Fun" button for is something is Fun or Funny? They are kinda different.

        I suppose it doesn't matter much; but I hope that when I vote something as Fun, the person who posted it dosn't automatically assume I think it's "Funny". I know we often ironically vote Fun, but usually that is not my intention.

        It's for "fun" technically. It used to be "funny" so I slipped up a bit and used an old phrase. "Fun" is more general

        [–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

        I've been considering most non-news and non-political content fun - from entertainment and music to hobbies, trivia, etc. Some of it happens to be funny too.

        On occasion some folks will use it as an extra vote to boost it's ranking.

        One thing I think could be improved on this site is how the [-] and [+] collapse/expand toggles more or less overlap with the "save" button when posting a response. I often just collapse what I am responding to by accident instead of actually hitting the "save" I'm aiming for.

        Maybe I'm just bad with a mouse, but how about putting some space so they don't overlap?

        Oh I never noticed that before, that's something I can fix. Thanks for pointing that out.

        [–]magnora7[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

        There, all fixed. Now the text box and the buttons do not overlap with the minimize button at all. 20 minute fix. :) Thanks for the suggestion.
