    Well it goes live later today so we can test it.

    I have zero doubt in my mind that "certain people" are making quite liberal use of the report button and hitting it more often than they take a breath. I regularly have multiple replies to various topics just vanish like a fart in the wind every week. No message, no explanation...my posts are just gone.

    I don't think reported posts get looked at by a human at all...I think it's an automated system that just removes them without any kind of review. And that's my concern with a "dislike" function...it'll be automated and with enough dislikes people will be banned for zero reason.

    I doubt both of these positions.

    I think the person who reviews reports and posts is highly intolerant and sparsely samples the forum, so there is a very random appearing action taken

    I also expect abuse of the report feature is really annoying and acted against, so if some loser reports a bunch of posts that don't get acted on, they'll get put into the penalty box.
