    (cc: /u/JasonCarswell I heard you saying this.)

    This is extremely hard to implement. It'll require lots of testing, taking the site down for a while and almost certainly several instances of massive database corruption because we didn't test the transition script enough.

    How much is this feature worth, and what categories should be around?

    Good points. And also if it's not insightful or fun, why do we even want it on saidit?

    True true.

    Excellent point. I've swung back to 2.

    I still like hearing new ideas, even mediocre ones. They often lead to better ones. And maybe, just maybe, there might be a game changer. Or not.

    I'm waiting for the game changers; I've seen a couple already but not early enough that they haven't already been acted on.

    Hey, by the way, what do you think of this idea? If it's good enough, I might write it up properly and post it on /s/IdeasforSaidit.

    Thanks for the shout.

    I hadn't thought of the grim aspect of things. This is a good point. It's a slippery slope to add more options to be sure. It might help if you were to offer suggestions. For example a NSFW rating might be a start.

    Just yesterday I thought the system with a 1-10 rating for the 2 votes would have covered it all. Now, with all these gore subs, maybe another. Before WPD showed up this place was mostly either news or not and "not" was usually fun or entertainment on some level.

    I'd love to hear what others you think might be worth considering.

    There is something to be said for simple ergonomics. That said were not simpletons. It's a fine balance to be sure.
