Wrong. It's giving posters control over what other people see. Poster A can now decide if reader B can see commenter C's reply. That's censorship. Period. Specifically, it allows grifters to censor all dissenting comments and make it appear as if they are posting a popular point, when they are not. The next step is to flood the platform with more grifter accounts, and you can forum slide the entire platform with bullshit, manipulated threads.
