For instance, I have zero interest in the NFL, so I'd like to filter out that content. I enter the sub but I don't see a block button beside the subscribe button in the NFL sub. So I think maybe I'm blocking too many subs too quickly, so to test it out, I go to the hockey sub and there's a block button there, I go back to the NFL sub, still no block button. Some have the button, some don't. Maybe it's a glitch? Is there a manual way to block?

I just tried it out, and it looks like the custom CSS for /v/nfl has hidden the block button. You'll have to (temporarily) check the "Disable custom subverse styles" button in your profile settings to access the button.

Seems kind of stupid, really, to hide a useful piece of site functionality from your subverse. Then again, it's probably just an oversight when they designed their CSS (Hanlon's razor and all that)

Well in the css for the page it has the display type of the element set to none, so I'm pretty sure it's not accidental.

Must be a Bears fan - they can't block for shit.

Weird. I don't have a block button on /v/nfl either. But I do on every other sub I can find. Maybe their css hides it?

Ok, I have a solution for you. In Chrome, right click on the Subscribe button and click inspect element. It will bring up the css for the subscribe button in the developer tools and show it in the element list highlighted. The next element down is the block button, it should be listed as

<button type="button" class="btn-whoaverse-paging btn-xs btn-default" onclick="return toggleBlockSubverse(this, 'NFL')">block</button>

Select the element and look at the styles tab in its css. You should see near the very top of the list an option that says

display: none;

Check the box next to that option to deselect it and the block button will then be visible on the page. Now you can click it to block /v/nfl.
