The reason that this is being considered is because there's always a lot of flak going around in comments that is harmful to others. It's very hard to moderate comments, because there are more than 300 individual articles, and it's impossible to sort through the dozens of comments and sometimes hundreds of replies on each article.
Please write yes or no in the comments below, along with an explanation (doesn't matter how long) on why you chose your answer.
This poll isn't going to be the absolute final answer, but every opinion will be taken into consideration.
Edit1: Please don't just say yes or no. We want to hear your reasons, in as much detail as possible, so that the staff can make an informed decision on this.
Also, just so your inbox isn't spammed forever, I'd recommend unfollowing this post, as I expect it will get a ton more replies.
Edit 2: You can see each user's response and vote here. This thread will be locked at 5PM EST on March 29, 2021.
