    Specifically Hubski is set up more like Tumblr or Wordpress than Reddit or Digg, in that it's all about who you follow and it's very provider-centric, but that mk feels he will make Baby Jesus cry if he gives providers the basic and fundamental options of being able to shut trolls the fuck up on content they provided.

Very interesting. That was actually a suggestion I had been mulling over recently, essentially giving the OP of the thread moderator privileges in their own threads. For example, the ability to ban a specific user from commenting in your threads (a borderline spammer, for instance, or a concern troll). I'm surprised that the subject has already been discussed in the past.

I guess I'll just have to see what happens. I have a lot of enemies on reddit as well (it comes with being an active moderator, I guess), so it will be interesting to see how the administration here handles it when it inevitably occurs.
