Originally posted by Kewpie I fear this could be abused. Someone could send to the NF every post which didn't fit into their world view, so the thread could end up being a monologue.
This could work if only mods can move a post to the NF. Hitting the button could alert mods, and they would decide whether it's indeed a negative post.

I'll let this post pass, for now, without pressing the Send To The NF button in the interests of balance, but once my plan is implemented posts like this will be toast, literally**.

Originally posted by FMF Now, you see? Someone could take this mostly negative response from you - if they choose to - and press the Send To The NF button, and then this thread could sail on in its merry way with people who DO know. ๐

Sir,
I don't like the idea. I believe it would lead to abuse and make things worst than they are now. Shouldn't you have posted this in Site ideas? Or did you put it in both places?
Kindest Regards,
Have a wonderful evening,
Sincerely,
