what are the changes?
please no user voting on other's comments or any other means giving users the ability to hide other people's posts from anyone other then themselves.
It would help if the posts were moderated to some extent, so extremely off-topic and offensive posts could be removed.

Agreed.

The weird spam messages and the posts made by a certain drunk or dopehead are a bit tedious.

Though I myself clash with "a certain drunk or dopehead" or the trolls in residence I strongly oppose any censorship.
As TrueKaiser suggest the ability to hide other people's posts ONLY from your own view should be enough.
