When someone posts low effort garbage, often it gets no effective counter (or takes a long time to get one). Most high quality contributors have things they'd rather be doing with their time then wrestling in the mud with brain damaged pigs and their piglets. They click these threads and go NOPE and close them.
Or by the time somebody effectively counters the damage has already been done. Misinformation and misinformation campaigns are a difficult problem. I agree with the suggestion but restrictions need to be carefully constructed in order to avoid abusive behaviour.
That's why some restrictions would definitely be needed, e.g.:
- 1000 earned Merits
- 1000 activity
- positive trust score (or only DT1 members?)
- the "button" has to be pressed 5 times
- maybe a "counter-button", if the "wtf-button" was pressed falsely
Nevertheless it can be said that the feature could certainly be useful if implemented correctly.
