My problem is that you (the generic you in this case) cannot have it both ways - both whine about how The Suggestions Crowd don't represent your thoughts and do absolutely nothing about it. Is posting&blocking the best way? Probably not but I literally don't hear any other alternatives that go beyond 'whine more on anon, perhaps a miracle will happen and something changes'.
Personally, I think the answer is the staff should step in regarding the people that are being so hostile in the suggestion forums. But they haven't in this long, so I don't think we'll see that ever.
Hell, you can't even have a thread discuss liking eyes in the general forums without one of the "The eye system sucks" brigade showing up to drag it down. Because there was one. And of course the dude who has a tab and two dragons covered in anti eye rants showed up, among others trying to turn it into an argument.
I have to say that that dude (Misty something?) is a whole separate problem because they are overreacting just a little bit... But the sucks brigade is not unique to the eyes. For example, I love all of those 'share the evils of rng' threads and each and every time there are several mansplainers who show up just to tell everyone how they are stupid for actually hatching eggs and not selling them. So you know, I understand the frustration, but I don't understand or agree at all that the only solution is to silently whine when the block button doesn't have a limit.
The mistake here is thinking that people are interested in changing it. It would be nice if there was better moderation that made that forum a less toxic place, but most of us aren't mods, it's literally not our job to change it. The place isn't so important that it's worth some kind of campaign to change the culture there. It's not hypocrisy to just avoid it and occasionally talk among ourselves about how it's a soul-sucking place, so this "put up or shut up" deal is always odd to me.
