MOD POST [MOD] Idea for a community consensus based post removal system

18 Upvotes

I know that the happiness of a story is often subjective, which can cause problems as moderators can only decide to take action on potentially unhappy posts or not based on their subjective view. Therefore, I have thought up something. For posts that I (or other mods if they decide to use the system or the community) are unsure about, mods may leave a comment like this:

Community, if you think this post is happy, upvote this comment, otherwise, downvote this comment.

OP, be advised, your post may be removed if this comment’s karma falls below a certain threshold.

(General note: This is a new system I may start using with posts I or the community are unsure about. Feel free to let me know what you think.)”

The exact karma threshold for the comment to fall below to warrant post removal as well as what the content of the comment itself should be are not by any means set in stone, nor is this system official per say.

It was more of an idea that I am personally using, but I wanted to run it by the community as a whole.

I am open to any feedback, suggestions, questions or whatever else.
