I think the front page algorithm should show more newer posts.

The activision-blizzard approach to balance.

Ha is that what they do too? It just seemed like the smallest definintely-noticeable amount

Also is there any way to block people? I'd love to be able to sort by new without it just being pages and pages of that one person spamming /s/entertainment with what is clearly links to their own site.

On reddit you got the option to block someone after reporting them, but it seems like here you would need them to personally reply to you, and they don't.

You can block them from PMs if they PM you but developing a more fully-fledged block feature is near the top of our to do list.

Cool, that's the main issue, I'm pretty sure they're just a bot account that automatically posts any update to their site. Tried replying to one and just had no response from them.

On reddit it's even possible to block people without reporting them, but you have to access the API through a client/browser side script as described here: https://old.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/3nvrdi/deleting_post_replies_from_inbox_i_need_help_and/cvrttje/
