Feature Request: Filter Deal Threads to Exclude SD Staff Posts

7,328 3,556 June 30, 2025 at 08:46 AM
Pretty straight-forward - I'd like to see a filter that allows me to exclude all of the deals posted by SD Staff members that I have not chosen to follow.

Why? It seems most of the Staff posts are rather mediocre deals with ratings that I'd guess are artificially inflated by other staffers and bots providing up-votes.

It used to be that we could see who was providing thumbs up and thumbs down on the SD Live feed, but that feature went away a few years ago. My guess is that feature went away so that we could no longer see the extent to which the ballots are being stuffed.

I agree. Yesterday on my FP I saw 3 separate staff posts by the same person for 3 different Bosch nailers that could have been a single post. It seems like almost half the deals I see now are staff shill posts being artificially bubbled up to my feed with very little activity or votes

Please let me ignore SD staffer posts, PLEASE. I want to keep using the site but you guys are making it really hard to not hate it here, which I don't fully understand.
