Not a good plan, plat-havers are the ones with the grenades.

I have a lot of points to make and I will make them later.
It would be nice if the plat icon was an opt-in setting you could choose.

Alternatively, I don't know if it's been doing this for long but at least now the forums lets you know when you try to PM someone who can't receive them, which is really the only reason to have the plat icon in the first place.

Thought it was a platinum cube, why not platinum grenade?

No plat, no av. I am truly the lowest of the low.

Also, only people with plat can report posts? I was baffled a year or so ago when I tried to report a terrible post and...couldn't.

It's a surprisingly common opinion that the report feature is the source of literally every single forums problem these days so you aren't missing out.

I didn't report a post for about 7-8 years, but at one point the post-LF crowd became so libertarian-style insufferable that I spent a week reporting people. Since then I've never reported anyone. I have no idea if it had any effect. I have written an admin from time to time saying, "Can you loving do something about this clown?" which is the corrupt, PLAT version of reporting.

Reporting is already the corrupt, plat version of reporting. I guess non-plat bottom feeders users can just tweet at Lowtax instead.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
