    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.

    You took my post out of the intended context but since I did not spell it out, nor was I literal, I understand why. I meant as a means for reporting.

    Oh, well sure okay- go ahead and report it lol. If the GMs determine they're intentionally trying to harm the conversation, that'd be different than a bunch of people being annoyed with a poster / their posted contents and being like "annnnddd delete, mob rule hype!".

    To be fair though, you said 'we can kick for playstyle difference. . . So why not difference in post style?' which is ran by the general audience so I hope you at least give me some credit that it wasn't a malevolent manipulation of what you said .
