Global mute will be good but I really have to ask why people "producing low effort content" like @fernandosoder are being downvoted for the few cents they earn while someone like Bernie (xxxxxxxxxx & innerhive) are engaging in the most appalling abuse, foul language and spamming of legitimate posts which are driving people away from Hive and are not being blacklisted and downvoted by you.

That's a pretty good question.

I don't really get involved in people saying bad words. That's not what the blacklist is for. Never has been.

Its not just bad words. Its spam because he posts the same abusive comment multiple times.
Its also defamatory (and thus illegal) abuse that harms Hive far more that someone who posts some often interesting memes with a few comments.
