I think the new rating system is basically a good thing, since it provides direct feedback from the community. However, the fact that negative votes can cause the post to hide for members of the board and even to become unreadable for non-members (so basically it got deleted for outsiders) is very critical in my view. It's of course not literally censorship since people can express their opinions somewhere else, but still i think it's a horrible step of intolerance for a freedom loving community I'm well aware that the intention of this system is to get rid of unwelcome (some also call them 'different') opinions and keep the trisquel board free of non-conform ideas.
Is that the spirit of free culture?
I therefore propose to remove the function of banning posts.
