I wouldn't have thought so.

Attempting to control the narrative to promote positive stories whilst suppressing negative ones might well be the norm in more authoritarian outlets of manufactured debate, but it shouldn't be commonplace where free discussion and opinion are encouraged.

If someone wants to do the former, then I don't see any benefit in allowing threads to be created only to discuss flowers and unicorns whilst ignoring weeds and dragons. 

Just my opinion.
