My interpretation is that spam is obvious to the sender. If it's not that bad it's not spam.

Cool. Thanks.

I think you should try a global list first.

You might be right about that. However, I really don't want to get to the point that I am deciding what content should or not be allowed to stay. Perhaps one option is to have both? I could have a global block, but users could toggle that on or off? Couple that with individual ignoring?

At any rate, I'd much rather make this a non-issue by removing a shared feed. If you have any ideas how this might be facilitated, I am open to suggestions. Most importantly, I want to solve this problem: if a new user posts, how does anyone see it?

I suppose on tumblr or twitter, no one sees new posts unless people share it by other means. But, I'd like an option that was a bit more newbie friendly. One idea I had is that anyone can choose to have some percentage of their feed be from non-followed posts. Maybe you could choose 0, 10, or 20%.
