Flag off-topic posts
Posts: 1970 | Subs: 5
So I think if users could flag posts as "off-topic" and a post accumulates some 20 or 30 flags then automatically it becomes invisible but user can toggle to see what it says, the same way as youtube comments.
Or maybe you can have some settings in my profile to hide/show posts with too many flags. That way maybe not so much arguments to read through and just relevant content. Thanks!

As long as the threshold is high it gives power to the community, not necessarily to one abusive user. Yes it is probably important to give mods power to clear flags from a perfectly fine post though.

Well yes that is the whole point. If 30 people doesn't like that person maybe there is some reason for that??

See? ^^^ Perfect example if I could flag as off topic with rest of the community then the post becomes hidden with some toggles and then if other users want to see vonivan's funny gif they can expand to see what it was.
But it wasn't off-topic

To try to make the outcome more positive: I wonder if there is a case for "Poster of the week"? e,g, if weekly, a thread would be started in the Scrapyard by the Writers, on say Thursday evening 20:00hrs GMT,extending for 24 hours, allowing any poster to suggest who they would nominate (with reasons). The thread would close for nominations at midnight PST on Friday, then the result would be posted on Saturday. The winner could then have "Poster of the Week" set against their name for 7 days....it might encourage positive posting?

The problem, I think, is that this suggestion just takes "reporting" to another level, which is open to abuse, as Wifi has succinctly stated.

Seems pretty complicated. At that point you may as well just have a 'like' button on posts. And the site admins have already stated they will not implement that design.
Yep - but there is a difference.
"Like" buttons can lead to wars/silly spamming.....'poster of the week' not so. But either way, my current task is easier if neither appears
