This is probably the least user friendly feature implementation I have ever seen.

Why not call it something better than "noprocrast?" If I didn't read that news post, I would be completely confused as to what it does or what the other two values do.

It's a cool idea/feature, just implemented very, very badly.

Why is it that every time you state your opinion (even in a respectful manner) someone has to down mod .

Just having a little link to the news post next to the noprocrast dropdown would pretty much clear this up.

Probably because opinions without explanations aren't very interesting.
