OK, I don't agree with most of these points, but I also don't care enough to argue about it. Please consider my suggestion withdrawn.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Rob, I actually think it something that should be raised for Formal Discussion at some point, assuming it's technically doable.

Hide/Blinvisible or whatever! I love the idea. I also have a question, would it be possible to have a Hide feature for the poster. Let's say I have something really long and draggy that I want feedback on but I don't want the whole board to have to scroll past it.
I'd love a feature where I could hide my own post, but make it clickable so others could see if they feel like clicking or not (an example is I want feedback on my application for the writing fellowship I'm applying to, but I don't feel compelled to force EVERYONE to read it. I'd love a functionality where I could hide my post and those who want to click through could).

Simple. Instead of 'hide' use 'Make blinvisible'. And then 'Unblinvisiblise'.
Cute, but too long a word for where it would appear on the page. I'd rather just have it as part of what replaces the text of the post like Noumenon's original suggestion: "Text of post rendered blinvisible by Marcie" (in tiny tagline-sized font) or something similar.

If you have server space somewhere, you could just put it there and post a link to it here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Are board mods going to be Formalised? Because it could make things take a while.
Kat, that sounds like the t lj-cut tag from LiveJournal. Interesting.

Not an option for most, though.

What does that mean?

Generally, I'd rather scroll through something I'm not interested in than have to click through to something I do want to read. Especially on slow-connection days. Just MO.

It's a functionality that motet has that I use with regularity, particularly if it's a long post that breaks into what is otherwise a topical kind of discussion. Also very handy for hiding all of the "Insents".
Dunno that we want it. Today is the first day that I have a need for it, but I kept thinking, "Damn, my application is 4 pages. I don't want anyone to feel like they have to read!" Maybe I'll just be an ass and post it anyway.
