The suggestion that an 'op' can be a moderator on the thread they started is interesting.
What I would suggest is the op can 'mark' posts they dislike, perhaps with a red background. or a diagonal striped background color.
Or red stripes on the margins?
Another way would allow the op only to mark following post with a 'like' or dislike' flag which can be seen by everyone. Again perhaps a side margin banner with 'LIKE" or "DISLIKE" or with four choices: add in 'AGREE' and 'DISAGREE'
I think that would be better than outright removal. Since 'removal wars' would no doubt flair up!
The idea of a tech moderation for what one person thinks is 'right' vs tweaks. (particularly AC tweaks) would end up mired in endless arguments. IMO. I mean it could get to the point of arguing that no one can install their own AC outlets, only a professional can.
Usally folks just chime in with warnings. and folks can decide for themselves if the idea is dangerous.
(Thus everyone here is expected to be smart enough to tie their own shoes... and not in need of a nanny to keep them from harm)
As the place is.. Just fine to me.
The 'report' is just for spam and fragrant viciousness and bigotry, and swearing, and perhaps serious attacks on another member.
One feature from the old AgoN was 'disputes'. IT was always interesting to read them, and to respond like a Judge or jury member.
I liked the feature and wonder what happened to stop it?
