Hi

I have some questions, related to this discussion.

Why do you think it is it relevant to hide a topic, just in case of spam?
Anyone can censor a topic, which is not really very friendly and
cooperative. On the current talk system, when a subject is problematic, we
suppress it. A "report as spam" button may be more relevant, with a
confirmation by admins (for example)?
Do you think Flow will provide a way to post for spam robots?

Do you imagine edit wars on hiding/unhiding topics? I do :-) Is there a
feature to avoid/protect that?

When I hide, it is for everyone. Do you plan to create an 'ignore' feature
which just hide the topic only for myself (like on GMail)?

(And Flow is alive on French Wikipedia, it is soooooo cool :-))

Have a good day,
Benoît
