Dr. Bob, I see the need for having the ability to block out disturbing and negative posts. But, I can't help wondering, if you do that, won't it skew the results of the group dynamics studies you were considering?
It seems to me that the simplest way to discourage negative posters, is for no one(at all!) to respond to them in any way. Maybe there could even be a note, just above the "preview" of the post, that states (for newcomers) that negative, disrespectful, posts are not tolerated and will not be replied to.
Just an idea. CarolAnn
