I've always felt a mute option would be great. @carlgnash I saw your comment and went.. oh yeah you are right too! However, it's quite likely that if there's no response they'll give up (surely there's a bit of ego there) and if the accounts themselves grow they are welcome to hang in the communities that actually want them or can be subject to usual reporting channels where people who want to flag can.
I do live in fear of being flagged for no reason. I'd love the mute button for some people I'm intimidated by or don't like coming across. In real life I can choose who to interact with .. here I can't. That doesn't mean steem needs to be like real life, and there is aspects of it that are GREAT for that reason, but I need to have an option to protect myself from the all out cruelty and viciousness of some people on this platform.
That said, I don't actually have solutions.. but @wwf sounds like a possibility at least and worth trialling. Meanwhile, I fly between all this rubbish and enjoy the things I love about Steemit. Xx
