The side effects of hearing a view you disagree with can include confusion, nausea, and vomiting. Just try and listen to someone say anything politically incorrect without doing any of those things. Obviously, then, we have to consider the precious feelings of everyone we talk to. Some people don't want to be triggered, guys. It's their right as Americans.

This would probably be best as a feature for founderless regions without a delegate or ROs. I also see no reason not to also apply a similar concept to other regional powers in the absence of a founder, delegate or RO (not border control or executive, of course). If smaller regions could combat tag-raiding on their own or keep the region at least looking nice that would be a desirable feature.

Would it be possible to allow everyone to have the ability the "suppress" a message? Lets say:
Bob makes a post on the RMB. This post is given a score of "Liberated: 1, Suppressed: 0".
Kate comes along and decides they don't like it, so they "suppress" it, giving it the score "Liberated: 1, Suppressed: 1". This would do nothing however...
Jack comes along and, feeling a bit mischievous also decides to click "suppress" giving it the score, "Liberated: 1, Suppressed: 2" so the message gets suppressed until enough people vote the other direction.
It would give "raiders" a new tool in their arsenal and defenders would have something more to do, outside of the usual update periods.
Of course, the officers should be allowed to over-rule these and declare things "liberated" or "suppressed" as desired. (Giving the Comms Officer something more to do).
Not only that, this would also serve democratic regions well, who don't have "officers" or "executives" and allow regions to self censor themselves by democratic oversight. I could imagine it being very entertaining...although equally for some, very frustrating. It would however add a new interesting dynamic to keep people sticking around. (Especially those in the R&D game).
Edit 1:
One tool to guard against puppets, would be to make this a "WA dependent" feature. That would also reduce potential server load as well.

Additionally if one player decides "I don't like these posts" they could suppress them all, and then require some other player to have to go through them all.Currently only those with delegate/RO power can do so, I don't like the idea of opening it up to anyone with a WA nation.
