We need a mute feature to protect women from stalkers. I know because I have one.

@lauralemons, I looked through some of your posts and the comments and noticed that there were a number of comments that I did need to flag.

So, I did some flagging using a well vested account. I'm going to keep a close eye on your posts and on #stalker for more data. We can use flagging as a metric. We will probably start hiding and unhide someone in an ongoing way as they get upvoted or flagged. Mute will be provided but please don't see this as a very good first option, it really does not benefit everyone else if you mute instead of flag.

Please flag posts... It cost voting power but consider it a investment well spent. I suggest basically the same guidelines you'll find anywhere. If you see any of these we need to flag it. It makes is really easy to have a well defined list so the decision is really quick and not very subjective.

  1. Hate Speech
  2. Miss-categorization of content (spam) --- use good judgment
  3. Fraud (intentional plagiarism is deception)

To be clear, the plan is when someone goes below a threshold they can be hidden completely. You'll still have a way to show there comments and replies but it will be very tucked away at the very bottom of the thread..
