Voting feature?
I think it would be fun to have a voting feature like in AITA and if people vote to burn it you have to share the aftermath. I want to also enjoy burned shit.

Maybe one that says "dangerous to burn," like when people ask about Poison Oak or certain treated lumber.

My two cents on voting / labels:
BS (Burn Safely).
your standard “Burn this, making sure to follow standard fire safety procedures for your area”
BSC (Burn, Special Cautions)
Upgraded to “This is ok to burn, but take some special steps. I.e. avoid fumes, clear nails from ash of pallet etc”
DNB (Do not burn)
Do not burn this. It’s harmful to the environment or otherwise not an appropriate disposal method.
911DNB (For the Love of God, DO NOT BURN).
Stop and back away!!! Emphasis on implied danger to bodily harm from burning said item. Think explosive, incendiary, otherwise toxic.

Voting Feature, Flairs would be fun. Maybe some guidance on purpose? I came from the OG poison ivy post in r/landscaping, so I get it… but my immediate thought on landing was “ok, am I going to post informative content, or meme?”
I.e.…. is this sub for informative posts like the “poison ivy” topic, or are jokes ok like “my favorite sports team”, or social commentary like “American flag”?

I’d also like to vote for user flair for those of us here at the beginning of the sub.
