After some searching, I found an old topic and in one of the replies it's suggested that users have to select predefined categories before posting on MDL feed. Here is the link to the particular comment:
https://mydramalist.com/discussions/suggestions/17405-news-feed-management-more-options?pid=530669&page=1#p530669
In my opinion this is a good suggestion especially when a lot of people don't feel comfortable with feed posting lately. Therefore I would like to dedicate this topic for the above suggestion.
I'm opening a new topic because this was commented some time ago under an old suggestion. I'm not sure about the status, yet I won't waste my vote worrying admin will only take the OP suggestion and not considering this additional suggestion.
The mechanism is simple and already explained roughly in the link above, but I want to add few more ideas. Make few simple categories that users have to tick (make the field required), my suggestion:
- Artist Gossip
- World News
- Off Topic (non Asian drama post including anime and western shows)
- Discussion
- General (means screen shots, drama updates and so on)
Users have to chose one category only when posting, otherwise they can't click on "Share" button. Please make this as a separate function from spoiler, so that after choosing 1 category user would still have to decide on spoiler or not.
Secondly, create a filter when viewing the public/friend feed, so that users would be allowed to choose whatever categories they don't want to see in the filter setting. By default all categories should be showing.
