Dread Pirates Roberts and other SR staff,
First time contacting you, long time SR member. I am certain you are overwhelmed with messages on a daily basis... so I'll get to the point. I have a relatively simple idea/suggestion that I felt compelled enough to write it here in the forums.
My suggestion is this:
When you first log-on to SR, the very first page everyone sees is the home page. I absolutely love this feature, as it gives us a great snapshot of the variety of listings SR has at the time. I would like to kindly suggest that, once users log in, they are given the option to filter in/out certain drug categories that do not relate to that user. For example, I am an avid pot smoker, Benzo user and occasionally psychedelics. I personally do not like seeing Heroin, Cocaine and Meth even show up as I'm browsing SR. This is not to say I have a moral stance against it. It just isn't my drug of choice. Disregarding all of that, simply being able to tailor your silk road home page would be a great complement to Silk Road. Rather than showing a random array of listings for drugs you may not even heard of, why not have the ability to choose what you see when you log in? IMO, this will improve overall satisfaction from buyers.
What are your thoughts about adding a feature that allows users to filter listings by category, keyword or maybe even price? In my experience using SR this past year, it would be a really nice feature like this that will complement Silk Road's upward-growing trend.
Thanks for taking the time to listen. Regardless of your decision, I just wanted to be apart of the growth of SR - which means I feel a duty to help it grow and see it thrive.
Kind regards,
Rogue

I just wanted to follow up that DPR (Dead Pirates Roberts), or his support crew did respond to me on SR, but followed by a disappointing generic response to post my suggestions on the forums. Here is the message I received back:
Thanks your for the suggestion. You can submit your idea for a feature in the forums at http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?board=9.0

I'm a webmaster myself, but I think SR should do a bit more due diligence reading and acting on suggestion from their visitors; let alone fans of Silk Road.
I hope SR staff reaches this and goes to the top. It would be a small but great improvement!
Kind regards,

I actually like this idea, wouldn't be hard to implement at all either.
It's a turn off for a lot of my friends too who've looked into the road, they don't like seeing some of the other drugs on the front page
