Forum toxicity and low IQ posts have recently flooded general discussion and other places on the forums. Possibly add an option say if a post or a reply gets 5 to 10 downvotes it gets auto deleted that way not only will it reduce the dev's workload of monitoring forums but also can keep forums clean.
For example, in the trader's market, many people to this day bump their threads multiple times in a day violating a rule written by sts and going unpunished for it. In general discussions, we have players in a thread discussing the pros and cons of the new arc weapons and replies like "I'm the #1 rogue in arlor" which has absolutely nothing to do with the topic in the discussion.
Asommers, you already made a thread discussing this and if this idea of downvoting to remove posts/threads is taken into consideration I believe you will see less forum toxicity and will be able to prioritize game development.
I'm also aware there are negatives to implementing this idea such as general hate shown to individuals on the forums that's why I suggested a minimum of 5-10 downvotes additionally you can upvote a post to cancel a downvote so that threads that are beneficial but just hated on due to jealousy or whatever righteous reason they may have don't get deleted.
If anyone has suggestions to add to this or other possible negative effects of implementing this idea please share! - Atoned
