Being realistic here... They don't seem to have anything actually illegal though, it's not like the instance is breaking the law or anything, seems like a far fetched overreaction.
Very cute!
It absolutely is, the extensions are brilliant.
Of course is Kotaku coming with a whole tempest in a teapot over this.
Kotaku is an absolute joke, but that's not new, they are the laughing stock of game journalism for a reason.
Personally I'd find it pretty useful but it does depend on the user.
A Post Flair system would be great, specially for keeping things organized in a community that also serves support issues, for example having preset tags for "Issue", "Bug", "Solved", "Discussion", "Announcement"...
I'll say though, it is important that those can be edited/swapped my moderators.
These help keep posts organized and helps filtering for users that come later.
What we have to do now is use [TAGS/LIKE/THIS] and use external Userscripts that add the ability to filter those, which isn't ideal.
Thank you for reminding me to renewal my monthly subscription.
