Thread derailments are what make Chiefsmy micropenissplanet.

I see 50 shades of grey in teabag and tiger's future.

Sooooo do we have an option to turn it off in our user options?? Because we know from reddit that it just becomes an echo chamber.

TBH, its a shit idea.

I admire your restraint. I ****ing blast people all the time.

Eh, reddit's entire interface is based on voting. This will have a pretty minimal impact on your actual experience here.

Give us some time. We will destroy you.

It works for reddit because its reddit. It works because there are millions of users. Here its a bunch of people with a lot of history, and the same couple hundred 'faces' over and over.

Here we are immature enough that its just gonna be a suckfest to see which echo is the loudest.

Shit idea.

You scared? :D

Nah,

I just know from years of being here that many times good posts go against the grain~

It doesn't work for reddit; anything that counters the current accepted narrative of the hive mind gets wiped off the site and seen by maybe a fraction of total users.

Up voted! :thumb:

Post #3 is grey as expected as well so all functions are active and working fine.

Yea thats what im saying. It does work in the way that its made reddit popular, and likely spawned this idea as well~ I suppose here it depends on the vote thresholds and whatever, and you can always uncollapse a post, but its just like... why?

Just seems like an annoyance.

Who knows, that's the experiment. But just to make sure it's clear, our vision is that only a tiny portion of posts are impacted beyond the numbers on the post itself (which basically do nothing other than show you the vote counts).

If more than 1% of posts are being hidden or 5% of posts are being highlighted, we're doing it wrong and will probably consider adjusting the limits.

Hell, I'm enjoying watching my post creep closer to being hidden. ROFL
