... Since we dont let users 'mute' other people's posts, we need to find ways to build those barriers for you.
Why do they need building? We're already more than capable of doing it ourselves thank you very much. Whether it be through simply ignoring the noise, moving to a group, or going even further and shifting off site. If you end up erecting artificial barriers on b.net, whatever theyre designed to protect will fail. Whatever could be discussed there could be discussed in public with greater input (bear in mind the type of people you're talking about have all been here years and are more than capable of dealing with idiocy), or in private groups with people whose company you actually enjoy, rather than the set of people who match the arbitrary rules.
Rather, I'd like ways for those "valued" users to be able to set themselves apart and build an identity through entirely inconsequential features. The beginnings of such a system are there with the titles, but things like (limited?) custom avatars and titles would provide much more of an incentive to maintain an identity than there is on the site now.
