I don't think I have anybody muted, but I think I have been muted (or filtered... something) because I made a shit post just to see what would happen. Very unHubski like I know, but again, I think everybody has done that at least once or twice. No worries I've learned from the mistake and dealt with it. I think muting as a whole, can be useful only if you're dealing with spammers. Muting somebody just because and I quote from the post which I recently deleted "a total authoritarian asshole" because you implied that a person who didn't take a course of action should suffer the same punishment as someone who follows through on a course of action. Anyway apparently if you think that somebody who makes a tasteless joke about terrorism, should suffer the same consequences as a terrorist, you're worth muting. God forbid I say something that pisses people off, eh I think it's a fact of my life. Anyway I think I'll cut down on voicing my opinions since people find them too radical or "authoritarian" for this site. For the record I was also compared to Joseph Stalin from post, from somebody I've never had any interaction with...

EDIT: apparently OP has me hushed. this is interesting.

How did you find out you'd been hushed? I thought it only impacted the person who hushed you - they were the only person who saw your comments being sorted to the bottom.

Well apparently when you're hushed, your comments get pushed to the bottom of the person's post (in this an OP somewhere hushed me and all of my comments were pushed to the bottom with one or two sticking around to the top)
