Well, I understand your point of view, but I think that if we provide more options to users, especially ones that enable them more comfort, they might do and help our forums and spread the word. By forcing them to use something they just get irritated.
Also, a lot of users don't even notice collapse button, i.e. they don't use it. Sadly, they don't use referral link too.
On the part that the code is much simpler to apply, you're right. I tried to achieve collapsing of infractions, some users asked for that, they don't want to be reminded of their past, especially bad past and I couldn't till I saw your code. Thank you once more.
