Just my opinion, but I think it's kind of redundant and of little value.

And yeah, just who IS voting down boobs!! That's just flat out un-American.

[Buehler445]

It wasn't me! I LOVE boobs!

Alex Smith sucks!!!

This would be a nice feature if it worked like Slashdot's system. Over there, you can filter a thread to only show you posts that are rated at whatever level you specify. Then you don't even see the trollish stuff at all.

Greying them out is fine I guess, but you still see them. And you could just as easily see how things are rated by looking at the thumbs up and thumbs down instead of color coding of posts. Seems kind of half-baked.

this seems like a pretty cool feature.

I'd love to have a way to go scorched earth Ignore when ignoring people. like, they don't even exist at any level once they're ignored.

that way, when an idiot who has had an account for 6 years and 100 posts shows up out the blue and starts ruining everything, they can be nuked from orbit. Though, that person is probably just a mult.

The feature would be fine if it was driven by the individual user. Then it would be choice. Having it driven by group approval makes it censorship, and that's the opposite of what this place is supposed to be about.

If people have a problem with posters, they can use ignore (although Daface's greasemonkey script for a better ignore seems to be no longer available, much to my chagrin), and we understand that as an individual decision. If this was just an extension of that to individual posts, that would be something that might be worth testing. That's not what's happening here, though, and this system should never have gotten the ok even for testing.

Should never have gotten the ok for testing? The people who decide that did, i think. Then they figured out how to implement it.

I think they did a good job btw.

That's what I said, yes. This should never have been green lighted.

Who had Just Passin' By in the censorship pool? I had Sandy.

Would would be cool to have a feature that lets you know you've been quoted so you can follow a discussion easier

Many BBs have that sort of 'alert' functionality, it's nice.

While we are complaining, can we make the text entry box on the Reply to Topic pages bigger? It's probably the same size it was when everyone was using CRT monitors and there is a huge amount of available space on the page. It would be nice if it were much larger to make editing longer posts and articles easier.
