Well, I know part of the issue is that with the recent crap that's happening in Blogs, that those "troublesome members" will abuse the new power. I just think these would be decent guidelines.
- The feature can be locked out for certain members by moderators.
- Removed posts can be viewed by any member, but there would be a reason why it was removed by the manager of the blog. Not sure if this would do anything but if someone is making troll shit on your blog, it just makes it more hassle to read the troll shit and what not.
- Moderator posts cannot be removed. This goes for all moderators, from Mag Staff to Administrators.
- Moderators can reverse any post "hidings" (since they wouldn't really be removals in the end)
- Abuse of the feature would of course also result in warning ratings and other punishment.
This is a little bit different, but would it be possible for bloggers here to edit posts in their locked blogs? I use my blog for organization purposes (such as a post for my links, my reviews, etc) and I find it annoying when people comment on these organizational posts, but I still need to keep them unlocked to edit them for adding links to new stuff.
I can see where people are coming from with the issue, but I don't think a few annoying members should bring down the rest of GBAtemp's blogging community.
