Thank you for, at the very least, referencing our concerns. One thing I can suggest is removing the interest search blocks completely. If users could more easily search for racist and illegal content, they could more easily report it, thereby boosting the utility of the Adult Flagging system.

Just a suggestion. I think things are heading in a more positive direction than they were previously, so as long as you pay attention to the issues that many people have brought up, I think things will only improve.

Right now we can't lift the search blocks completely, but it's not tied into the flagging system because the areas of need for the two aren't the same.

(BTW, I don't think you meant to use "can't", as you most certainly can [and should]. You just won't.)

There's a difference between "legally can't" and "technically can't".

Even the "legally can't" is still a "won't".

Not really. Frankly, if they actually can't for a legal reason, they really can't. Not without actually putting the company in jeopardy. And frankly, I'd rather they keep the servers up. At some point, I would like an explanation, but at this point, I'm satisfied with "can't."

Does the former SUP side have this block also, if not why not?
