Ok I see where my confusion was. People can still post, they just get muted. I think my issue is better solved by front ends rather than me advocating for people literally not to be able to post.

This screenshot below shows a visual representation of what I am seeing:

Even when muted these particular accounts create a bad UX. I mostly use PeakD so maybe I just need to talk to someone over there.

After reviewing your posts I really don't have any actionable feedback at this time. When I have actionable feedback I will be sure to leave a comment on one of your posts.

Sorry I did not meet my artificial self imposed 2 day deadline 😆. Thank you for encouraging me to take my time, something I should probably do more of lol
