You're another one that can't believe the Bitcoin Cash Developers actually test code before releasing it.
Again your problem not theirs.

On August 16 at approximately 8 am EDT the mining pool Bitclub Network mined an 8MB block on the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) blockchain.
Block #479469 cleared over 37,000 transactions from the mempool making it the largest block found so far on the BCH chain.
Meanwhile, the BCH network continues to capture infrastructure development and industry support.  

They only produce blocks large enough to hold the transactions , they don't produce the maximum size blocks every single block.

You might be missing the point just a little bit.  Sure, the network will readily cope with the occasional large block, mostly because all the others are so proportionately tiny.  But if they were to produce the maximum size block every single block, that's where you might find some issues creeping in.  That's when some of the people trying to run full nodes will suddenly decide that's no longer an option.  That's when the claims that BCH is centralised start to gain a bit of credibility.  For the record, I don't think BCH is centralised, just that it has a greater potential to move in that direction.


so your worry about spam is empty

how can you argu about spam. then argue there is no spam because blocks are empty.
whats next worry that cars can b overcrowded because you sen a comedy clip of 30 clowns walking out of a mini car.. but then argue that cars should only have a drivers seat because most of the time thers only one person per car.

hint: an near empty block of 0.2mb does not lock off 32mb of hard drive space. it just uses 0.2mb of hard drive space. but allows the rules of allowing mor transactions in without 2 years of debate.

its better to have 32mb limit and not need it. than to have 1mb limit and argue for 2 years how to expand it
its better to 4 seat car and not need it. than to have 1seat car and argue for 2 years how to upgrade the car

So why have the 32MB limit?  Why not remove it altogether?  It seems largely symbolic at this stage, doesn't it?

To have enough excess capacity for next few years.

And right, the max BS might be gone soon.
