The lack of a strong karma system on Blind(the "likes" are a pretty casual form) makes the advice so good there. With karma, you write for the entire audience to gather points. Without karma, you write to a person. Also the lack of political correctness makes for outstanding real world applicability. I've done a similar comparison with asking about cycling on bikeforums.net vs Reddit. bikeforums responses were far more informative and open minded and diverse, most of all specific to me.
- atomical 8y agoIt's easy to get banned. People use the report button to wage war on posters that they don't agree with. That's not better than a karma system. I started two of the most popular threads on Blind and was banned for life. I contacted their support and the response was one word, "DENIED." Great people over there.

- atomical 8y agoI was going to post it, but now we have a troll in the comment thread.
- rc-1140 8y agoYes, this is something I forgot to mention. It's one of the absolute worst parts of Blind that needs to be fixed: any amount of users can simply flag posts and users to delete their posts from the community, and in your case, get banned.
- seattle_spring 8y ago> I started two of the most popular threads on Blind and was banned for life Knowing what gets popular on Blind, I have a feeling that these topics were intentionally inflammatory and probably deserved a ban. Feel free to prove me wrong.
- atomical 8y agoI don't have anything to prove. Continue posting your feelings if you like.
