View submission: Announcing the Crowd Control Beta
Ooh, this definitely seems useful, e.g. when a subreddit is being brigaded. Probably not so useful to have on all the time in my experience, but this is a cool feature for those cases.
EDIT: As MajorParadox's comment says, "Crowd Control" is a very non-obvious name from a user-facing perspective in terms of what it means. Users definitely shouldn't see that terminology when something is collapsed.
Also, is it possible to enable this only for specific threads? In more minor cases of brigading, at least for me, often the fallout doesn't extend outside a single thread or two.

On the name[1], replied here. There's multiple collapse reasons and today we don't disambiguate between them so we elected not to display for Crowd Control until we had more holistic consideration.

Edit: Didn't finish replying. As for the specific threads, we are indeed looking to build out a post-level crowd control option in the new year.

For that, it would be great if we could just specify the origin of the brigade, for example "do not let users from /r/TopMindsOfReddit vote or comment in this thread."
