You CAN remove Distortion from the ini file, there will be no distortion score. There may still be reordering, this is controlled by the section [distortion-limit]. Or you can do what Rico suggested: [feature] Distortion tuneable=false [weight] Distortion0= 0 fyi - the only obl

Hi Marcin I had some fun with --activate-features in the past - I think the syntax was rather strange. If it is not working now, it may have got dropped by the recent refactoring My advice would be to use kbmira (or pro), since they are regularised they don't go crazy when there is an uninform
