Creating pointless threads with the sole purpose of trolling would get you warned on most forums; eventually leading to a ban if you kept doing it. Mods just don't care here.

Quality of posts needs to be a standard rule across any online platform. We can apparently kick for Difference in playstyle despite it being nowhere on the list. So why not difference in post style?

The abuse of such a system would probably be off the charts, but considering what we're dealing with here...it might just be worth it.:p

I'd hate to see the ability for the general group to kick out posters or threads on a vote basis, like reddit does with hiding comments via ranking / straight out hiding. I'd prefer to be annoyed and have to consume diverse content than to be pleased all the time in my preferred space, but I'm saying that with the purpose that I think the forums are for feedback of a diverse base. I could see moments where a feature someone liked would just be pummeled out of existence, even if technically SE is interested in trying it (like I imagine some days if you talked about Eureka or Housing you could be on the wrong side of the fence).
Safe bubble inside the game, where I hide and not play with whoever I please? Yeha okay lol. Although technically only people on my blist gil spammers. Just that for a place made for feedback, that's not inside the game, I'd prefer a set of rules that give a bit of rope to hang yourself with (metaphorically, obviously lol). It's why I don't mind looking up reddit for media of a game but is not that great of a place to form complex opinions or produce feedback. It's built to be an echo chamber, mob rule- that's good sometimes, that's bad sometimes. In this case for the function of feedback and diversity- I think that's bad.
