So a popularity mob can suppress other posts, and people have to make extra effort to read what goes against popular opinion.
...Uhhh...great...

on reddit, if enough people downvote something, the message becomes hidden.

Maybe that would help to self-police vulgar, abusive posts if there are no moderators, but IHub has Mods & Admins that remove TOS posts.
And chronic TOS Abusers may get restricted.

That's actually a ringing endorsement of I-Hub's TOS.

"Tyranny of the Majority" (you might want to research that phrase) is probably one of the greatest weaknesses of our modern, social media centric world.

Depends on what purpose one thinks a chat board should serve.

take a look on reddit. a better design all around.

Same question, what if a traveling pack of "awareness providers" decides to shut down negative posts, like filings that show the company isn't worth 2 cents, but has toxic debt up the wazoo?

So you favor mob rule? That is really, really, scary.
