    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**.

    Waiting is in the interests of balance at the present time.

    what is the NF button?

    Not sure yet, but it might end up being a cross-eyed giant using tweezers to pick tiny kernels of sweetcorn out of a big pile of elephant poo.

    The question mark makes this dodgy. With the question mark, it has an air of negativity. It'd be better as a statement.

    But it's the forum experience of all General Forumers I intend to alter, so I thought it'd be good to be seen to be doing a kind of consultation with them. I don't really care what the regular crown at the Site Ideas Forum think.

    This thread seems to be attracting some interest. Even our regular humour-free naysayers have posted in it. Maybe we really DO need a Negativity Forum. ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

    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,
