Yvonne moved the threshold forup/down votes hiding a post from -5 to -7, and that one got all the way to -7. As discussed in another thread, that threshold is really meant as an emergency spam/porn/etc. block, but folks are using the down arrow as a "strongly disagree" button, so stuff gets blocked that shouldn't. Maybe the threshold should be -10,  or be removed.

That was pretty tame compared to the stuff you routinely see posted on message boards of other sports programs.  I know I don't aspire to have this board become Shaggybevo for instance but personally I like to see diversity of opinion on these types of forums as long as it is not over the top.  And I don't think 49er was over the top.
