    This is something we’ve looked at before, the ideal would be to make them selectable at an individual level so people can choose what goes in their feed However I don’t think that’s currently possible. We may be able to deselect them in the back end, but I’ll have to look into how

    Questions and comments about rules and how the board works

    we've had this discussion before, its the same as everywhere else on the board. mods will judge on a case by case basis, but pretty much if its the sort of thing you'd see in an 18 rated film its fine , if its erotica, porn, bestiality, necrophilia, rape, or splatter gore then its not

    space x had a rocket blow up at Brownsville texas yesterday... if you're near there it could have been debris, alternately there has been a fair bit of meteor activity over the american south lately

    A lot of people who've heard of the Beatles probably can't name all the members... even in the UK most people know about Lennon and McCartney, but couldnt necessarily name Starr and Harrison, and hardly anyone can name the other short term members. Best, Sutcliffe, Nichol and um... other...
