Yeah I don't oppose the toggles, just seeing the unintended consequence. IE if most users disable accounts under 1 week old... then most new users will think no one looks at their posts... and give up, before they have a chance to learn that's what's going on. It's kind of the fear because it's not those who use the setting that actually see the negative consiquence, besides the possibility of no growth in the platform as a whole (due to people leaving discouraged).
