tldr, we care, we're working on it
Sigh, you don't read do you.
In that case I'm not sure what you want anyone to do here... You complained about something, it was reported to those involved as soon as I saw it, it was passed onto the relevant engineers within 2 hours of that and within that hour the engineer had looked at it and reported to the forum.
If you don't believe it will get fixed or anyone cares - that's fine - but don't get angry at me for it.
If all you are is a messenger who repeats what someone else types, then you are a waste of time.
Using the excuse that you know nothing but wish to simply repost a statement saying that they are looking into it just proves you are a waste of time.
As I said, you don't read.
Either they wrote the non-p2pool Antpool and chose to create the empty blocks, or they copied the code from somewhere else and don't know what they are doing.
Feel free to choose which it is - though would be better if Bitmain said which it was.
Meanwhile, as a Pool, we shall ensure the mining profit of each miner who points miner to Antpool. Currently a Block rewards are far larger than the transaction fees. Therefore empty blocks allowed are to ensure Pool Luck.
I'm not sure how that says anything but what I said.
They coded the empty blocks coz they saw that as a way to increase pool profits at the expense of bitcoin.
But worse, they coded it that way and don't know any way to resolve this issue ... or ... they took the easy path of sending out empty blocks coz they don't care about mining empty blocks.
They've been doing this for a while - it's not new.
There's a bunch of pools out there that don't do this.
There's one that is fully open source and the code is readily available.

Yes we do realise that Bitmain don't read Con's and my code even though it is free open source code.
It's been happening for ages with cgminer.
