(1,954 posts)While yes, there may be admin oversight, there's now almost no barrier nor real stopping point to either using socks to rampantly and brutally abuse people, or to stop an established poster from saying "hell to it", going on a twenty-post bender full of profanity and/or mockery. While it may not see much play in GD or GD-P, you see it a fair bit in the Gungeon, where a new poster will rack three, four, five hidden posts in a thread attacking either other posters or posting lewd/malicious content. To my knowledge, none of the posters I've seen do that have been PPRed, so what steps outside of a group-ban (circumvented via a new account) could be taken?
I hope I'm wrong, but there is a huge potential for abuse here that these new rules, though well-meaning, may be abused by malicious or vindictive posters. Hell, look at GD; I saw someone with seven hides, three of which were today alone. There's no consequence for hidden posts other than the exceptionally mild slap on the wrist of being locked out of a thread.
