Part of me feels like this is a good idea, but another part does not. Unless this means that we have broader latitude to shut down threads (and moderate such thread-makers) that have a negative tone in them, to stop this sort of thing before it happens?

I would rather that we had come down on the side trying to stop the FUD spreaders, rather than hurt the people who are just reacting to that.

You are right. Why only go after the reaction and not the cause. Threads starters should be held to a better standards in this place, too many crappy ones, straight up neogaf copy, negative and Fud spreaders. It's simply not fun anymore. 

I second this. Too much spinning and spam going on in here to sometimes even notice the good news that gets posted by some of the more legitimate users. Just how many Pokémon sales threads are we getting daily? It's really dragging the quality of the website down.
