suggestion: remove companies #2

The counter-feature to favourites: It would be useful to be able to manually remove/blacklist 'dead' companies. This could be a report system, so as to declutter the list for other users too, but would also be nice to hide companies which are in business, but you have no interest in - sometimes this can't be caught by a filter.

That's a great idea. I'll think about how to best implement this.

I think a good way to implement this would be to have a Reddit style voting system. Users could upvote or downvote a company, and that would be one of the factors we sort for on the feed. It could also replace the "favorites" feature. If that particular user has upvoted, it goes onto their favorites list. If that user has downvoted the company, it would hide it completely. For users who haven't voted on that particular company, it would just take the overall voting score and add that into the sorting algorithm on the feed, to push highly voted companies higher on the list.

My backlog for new features is pretty long right now, so it might be a while before I get to it. But I think it's a solid idea.
