View submission: Announcing Blocking Updates
Dropping by once again to say that this new 'parting shot' feature has been a boon for people trolls and people trying to spread misinformation unchallenged over the site.
This is ruining the site. You are giving trolls, harassers, and spreaders of misinformation run of the site to do their shit unchallenged. This 'feature' is so completely absurd that I have no idea how any of you could even conceivably think that it is anything other than a catastrophe. You are having a tangible effect on the site for the worse with this change. It's a bad idea.
You people over at Reddit HQ are fools. No advertiser will want to buy space on this site if you irritate all of your users into leaving. This helps nobody.

To be honest, I'm sure 99% of Reddit users have no idea on this, so I see little incentive for the Potato or Reddit in general to do much about the issue.
