Would you like the ability to mod your own questions instead of relying on third parties?

Asked by iamthemob (17196points) September 1st, 2010

So recently there was this question regarding blocking on Fluther, which links back to one about a month ago. A lot of the comments covered general censorship problems, being able to simply ignore obnoxious posters, etc.

I’m not the biggest fan of blocking…I can see the revenge questions in the social section already. What I had been thinking about was a function enabling you to mod certain posts so they would be invisible in the thread. This would allow the person to continue to post on that and your other questions. The point would be to enable members to ask questions and remove duplicate answers, stuff that is more social , offtopic things that they think would be rude to flag and get branded as “that guy,” etc. It would make it easier to scroll through for other users so that they could get an idea what had been covered (this would be particularly useful during or immediately following a “feeding frenzy.”

I think ideally, this would also have a feature to allow anyone viewing the question to toggle between the full thread and the modded thread, and could keep track of either they wanted.

What do people think of something like that?
