View submission: Announcing the Crowd Control Beta
Definitely better than confusing users when it looked like normal downvote collapsing, but "crowd control" is still very vague. Could use some better wording so users don't flood us asking what "crowd control" means. Also, maybe a subreddit setting to customize our own wording?
That said, I love the settings dial!

Good question, u/MajorParadox. We spent time talking through the name Crowd Control and one of the reasons we settled where we did is because there isn't a single use case to point to that allows it to be more specific towards the why, so we landed on having a broader term.
We'll be in beta for a bit so there are time for changes. We'll keep our ear to the ground for the time being on language.
Edit: Had a hanging sentence

Ah, I thought at first that that was just the internal name of the feature. Definitely not what users should see it labeled as.

I guess you could call it "democracy."

Why not call it "hugbox controls" or "independent thought alarm"?
