    I didn't put this in suggestions or anything because I really doubt that the program supports it. However, it occurred to me that a nice feature, in addition to expanded reactions besides "like", would be being able to mark a specific post with a fallacy. It doesn't necessarily have to show who did so, but it should show how many selected that specific fallacy. Thoughts and ideas?

    If someone uses a strawman fallacy, then you can make a click that indicates such. Or a red herring fallacy, or false premise fallacy, or any number of other fallacies.

    Most show that in their replies. People are not shy about attacking a post if they think it is against what they believe.

    Noting a fallacy doesn't automatically mean one is against the conclusion. I have pointed out many time where people who share my same position have used fallacies in their arguments.

    What you may consider a Fallacy may differ from someone elses perception of Fallacy. Thus, that would be like someone calling everything you post or even your post here as a Fallacy. Just too much for people to abuse and take advantage of.
