3. Unrec...
I plan to unreccommend feel-good posts with no useful information in them, as well as posts about celebrities and "news stories" that are neither.

However, I think I'm outnumbered a lot by partisans who will unreccommend critical threads. Discourse will be damaged, despite my one-man-crusade against irrelevant posts.

5. I wish there was a way to count how many times a thread is marked "hidden".
That's my go-to feature for threads I think are not worth my time.

4. Other: "Hide Mods"
I mean, Skinner...what the hell were you thinking when you added THAT one? Thirty seconds after the announcement they were all hidden and every third thread featured the words "penis" or "vagina"...sometimes BOTH, and in MULTIPLE INSTANCES.

:rofl:

15. The one that allows serial thread starters to litter the board with asinine threads.
Three threads started a day was a good rule. NO ONE is that interesting as a thread starter.
