How can we improve Scoop.it?

Option to block "Suggesters"

Does anyone else get the annoying suggestions for your topics that don't have anything to do with your topic? This is spam. I would like to see the option to block specific users that continue to send unrelated articles and links as suggestions for my topics.

        Please add a block user button. Having to curate through spam is defeating the purpose of using a curation tool. I've tried contacting support, however none of the support hyperlinks work.

        A block user button would be a great idea. I got a guy suggesting way to many posts and its messing with my actual suggested posts. This has never happened before. I actually had to turn off my email settings because I was getting like 40 emails a day about suggested content. From 1 guy.

        Hi,

        There's a report spam button when you click on discard on a suggestion made from a user. When it is indeed a real spammer we block it. But it could happen that a curator want to promote his topic to his Community and send suggestions that don't match your topic. In that case, a "block user" button for example could be useful.
