A delete feature would be great...perhaps allowed only if no one replies to a post.

I've been thinking about some ways to cut down the political posts, for those who prefer not to see them, so we can encourage other topics of discussion.

One thought I had is to use AI to classify every new thread that is started with a label, and then give posters the ability to opt out of seeing certain topics they aren't interested in (ie: "politics").

A true propagandist will respond to his own post to keep it alive. Other propagandists may chime in to support the original propagandist.

I’m cool either way. If my posts don’t get a response, most times I self edit and replace it with something else or leave an asterisk.

You could also use the Ignore function if you felt the offenders are the same people.

If you put a time frame on a post - say a generous 12 hours. I can't imagine anyone here who is posting for the sake of discussion would object if no one wanted to discuss their point. The only people that would object would be people who are motivated to put a message out...ie propagandists.
