Yes, and that's just a nuisance factor, to me. Gets in the way. The community tries to develop--if that's even the goal, here, I begin to think not--and it is constantly broken. . but primarily, egregiously, by Blocks.

This is nearly the whole point: that all of this IS random. Bob must scan the posts, because he hasn't time to read them all, and chooses not to share or delegate that task.
Thus, the people he "catches" are caught. . .and another post as bad or worse gets overlooked.
These are the terms on which we are asked to participate with no complaint, or if we complain to "trust."
We are asked to just trust him, to treat us in ways we don't like---does this make any sense?
The site *is* crazy-making. With all this cognitive dissonance, disparities Bob *supports*. That's not his job.
Bob, trust is something one earns. . and when one does, it flows effortlessly. The site is crazy-making because your expectations are unrealistic and have all the hallmarks of abuse. Crazy-making is abusive, for that matter.
I say, Bob has no *business* doing that. I support Bob to be a more sensitive person.
I unconditionally support Bob to Do No Harm, and to make whatever changes are needed to make this happen.
