Dude there's a built in social credit system that aims to embarrass or discredit people for having been downvoted too much, that's very different than an admin building their own tools to create that kind of echo chamber, they hand these tools out to everyone on a silver platter. They're on by default, literally every piefed server started with the default settings will have these. It's very different than specific admins choosing to create a platform like that with integrations. This type of social credit system is built right in and on by default, do you not see how this is a problem?
Sounds good to me.
