I have seen several changes, such as spreading out the choices at the top of the page so you can’t accidentally click on the wrong one, and putting an awful looking ‘bar’ in place of the “removed by moderator” words.
Is it possible to give users the ability to turn moderation on and off? That way those who wish to see everything can do so, while those who prefer to have their food pre-chewed for them can also have it.
I’m for putting it back the way it was visually, but maybe you could still put the reason why it was removed…? Combine the two? I think the way it is now is visually distracting.
@chyna, @YARNLADY It does look a bit weird to just have an empty line, doesn’t it? However, I fear that when people can no longer see other people’s responses getting removed, they feel like they’re being singled out by the moderators. I think it’s good to leave some trace of a removed response on the thread so people can see they’re not the only ones being moderated.
I think they should keep something there, so that a conversation will make more sense if parts were modded and you could see that they were instead of gibberish.
