Hi everyone!
Recently, there has been a bit of hassle with dream posts. There are people who enjoy it and take it into consideration, but others clearly dislike it. When people don't like them, it can sometimes cause drama, or for some reason get upsetting. I have come up with this suggestion to try and solve this problem!

What is it?
This suggestion is quite basic, and easy to take in. I have been thinking, and I thought that maybe we could be able to block category's. If a user doesn't like a certain category, for example: dislikes the topic's, they can block it so you don't receive posts from the category. On the community index, you can view each category by clicking it. I think that there should be a block button, at the top on the list of topics in the specific category. If you do block it, the category should stay available with the rest incase you want to un-block it. This button should be in the same place.

Why would it be useful?
As I have mentioned at the start, some users dislike dream posts. This would be useful because they can simply block the dream category, preventing dream posts. This would stop some drama, and prevent people from getting annoyed from it. However, you would be able to do this to any category you want.

Thanks for reading my suggestion! If you have any questions aboutmit, feel free to ask me :)

Yes, this suggestion is good. But for me too add on, not just the dream categories, but other categories you dislike. Still, I don't think that should be with Announcements, and maybe some others.

I did mention it can be for any category. Thanks for the like!

I Think This Should Not Be In The Fourms Though. Because Blocking A Category Or Post And Someone Who Likes It Can't Do It Because It Would Be Like Disliking! Blocking Everything They See Around 250 Reputation Would Be Perfect For It Because They Are Trusted With The Posts They Make! ~Star~

It's not blocking users, it's blocking categories so you don't receive posts with a specific topic.

I think people aren't reading this discussion carefully sadly. Though i agree this will cause very less drama :).
