It does not matter how long you have been here or how well you were thought of as before but if you say one little thing people are abusing the Hide button. Now I'm not going to single out a group or anything, but it is getting out of control.
Here is where the abuse is happening MOB mentality. I saw last night a long time trusted user who used certain words in the title get hide rated just for their tip. People pointed it out but it was to late. Tip of the jars are now hostile ways to show disapproval of the dairies. If that person doesn't post a tip of the jar they are followed around.
I have also seen fair points being hidden just because people didn't want to have to deal with them. We are bordering on the line of Censorship. It is scary out there how much abuse is going on. Changing troll to hide didn't fix it only made it worst. I've also seen the comments that they should give out more because people are running out. That tells me people are seeking certain ones in order to use the hide button.
How do we regain control here at dialykos?
