that wouldn't be too bad to implement in this codebase. that's a cool halfway point between the choose your own mods (NAB) model and the reddit model. you might want an admin override for doxx/illegal comments.

Thanks d3rr I would really like to see this implemented as I think freedom of choice is what platforms are missing. I made a post on it https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/5aia/can_we_have_an_option_preferably_in_the_side_menu/ to see support and ideas. I know magnora7 is concerned it could turn the place into voat. But I feel that voat is what it is because of it's users and there censorship is used much like on the authoritarian left does to suppress the other side. This idea of mine hasn't really been tried thoroughly yet, so no one can be certain what it will produce. But I think because it aligns with people's natural rights like freedom of speech and choice then it will work well, for the same reason the concept of America worked well, freedom is the better way.

Maybe if you implement this and see an uptick in growth and it seems to work well, you can consider the more full idea.

And yes certain content like dox/illegal will need to be handled differently.

Thanks
