It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

I was looking at getting one of those SR Suntour posts or maybe a Cane Creek Thudbuster, but I'm kind of curious to see how good these things actually are.
The suntour ones are fine, I have one. They were better when they were $90 instead of $125. You get like, 30mm of travel. It is not going to replace a full suspension mountain bike. You will still have to get out of the saddle to ride over potholes. But it helps elimate smaller bumps and vibrations, stuff like tree roots under pavement, etc. I run mine with like, 5% sag because the travel is so short.
Overall, I like it, I just wish it was a $90 product.
I run mine on my no-sus city ebike. On my full suspension mountain bike, I just run a dropper post since you are usually out of the saddle for that one. The suntour is covered by a neoprene cover to keep dust out of it.
Got a thudbuster on my gravel. It feels like it helps to keep the rougher road under control. On any other bike I wouldn't bother.
I have some really shitty roads where I live and it seems like it could help keep that rear wheel down and putting down power. Leaning toward picking one up at least for my hardtail MTB turned commuter, maybe my ebike too. Kinda pricey though.
