New crystal sink idea [Joke]

Hey, I have a great idea for a new thing to spend crystals on:

Confirmation boxes!

It's great that AHN doesn't cast when the opponent has no creatures. But why does Engulf?

It's great that Infinite Obliteration doesn't cast when the AI has no cards in hand? But why does Transgress?

I realize that there are a lot of cards that need a lot of confirmation boxes. So, in order to help motivate the powers that be, I propose allowing us to spend crystals to obtain them. I'd pay 30 crystals easily to stop having my Transgresses autocast off BTB, or to stop Scatter to the Winds casting when I'm one mana short of dropping 6 islands.

Who's with me?

    Don't be silly. Clearly this is a problem that needs to be fixed by us throwing money at it.

    According to Brigby we misused it and they took it away from us.

    Hi Everyone. We recently had to remove the Off Topic and LOL reactions, since we noticed they were being used to grief other players. 

    The intent of the Off Topic button was to give players the power to mark any posts they found were disruptive to a conversation, but we quickly noticed it was used more as a way to down-vote or devalue another player's opinion.
    The intent of the LOL button was to give players an alternate, friendly reaction to comical posts, however we found it was primarily used as a sarcastic jab towards others.

    Due to these reasons, we have decided to remove them from the reaction bar, and leave only Insightful and Like.

    Also, there is no need to track the LOL tags, and if the Off-Topic are being misused, they will just screw the data collection.  

    I honestly feel like these tags are useful to the D3 team because they can quickly gauge response to individual ideas/opinions based on the tag support they receive. It is a preemptive setup for the next time a clustertinykitty of a change, nerf, or update comes out.

    Instead of having to read the forums, they can pull a report on tags used to address the comments or cut them off at the pass. Also helps for locking/"disappearing" them, if you are of a tinfoil-hat mindset.

    You know, thinking about it, maybe we should have a separate forum for [Joke]s, and then only deadly serious posts will appear in General?
