The Forum that Could Be

[paige]

@sonya

Also, Discourse (the forum software) has some auto-hiding behavior based on user flags. I don’t understand how it works. Do you, @Shawn?

Posts with multiple flags are automatically hidden. Moderators still have a chance to reverse that in case folks are abusing the feature.

@joshs

Perhaps the burden needs to be spread more broadly. Perhaps something like reddit, with the ability to push things up and down.

One could equate flags to a type of down vote. But if we want to get more granular with tagging content there are plugins we could consider:

Discourse Topic Voting

Discourse Retort
