Interesting to see the hurt and heated reaction of some... it's as if they want to see their view/opinion on post policy (i.e. everyone has the right to post garbage in my threads) applied to everyone here. Is it another case of "tolerance should be enforced regardless of consequence" that's so prevalent these days in our Western society and media? Interestingly, it's always the few noisy ones who know exactly what's best for everyone. Peculiar concept of tolerance to say the least...
Anyway, I digress. It's good to have another moderation tool available. If it ever needs to be reminded, that's just an option and most of us are adult enough to know how to use this in moderation. If that wasn't the case, then there would be far more problems with that comment "delete" option that we've had for quite some time now. I'm sure some would like to see that feature removed too.
Tolerance is also giving members more choices/options to moderate their own threads as they see fit, even if that displeases some people. So, thank you Patrick for giving us more options!
