@M.A.R. Hmmm... Good, joke, inappropriate. Yes. Only one of those doesn't apply to you.
Has @shoe been in here lately? Hmm.. guess not.
Why can't we decide for ourselves how must time should pass that we're not active in the room before pings no longer work?
That's an outrage!

The only one of those sentences I would use as a native speaker would be the first one.
@lollel123 I would be more likely to say informally: “It’s not as easy as you might expect. It took me three days to frob the discombobulater “
The last sentence should use “expects”, not “expect”

@ColleenV Thanks, can you explain the usagr of "Would" more in depth? Is it the same as "might"? If so,why?

My first impression is that might sounds a little more tentative than would. It's not as easy as you'd expect – assumes the person thinks they know what to expect (but as it turns out, that's not the case here); It's not as easy as you might expect – I'm not sure if you expect this or not (but regardless, as it turns out, that's not the case here).
@M.A.R. Yep.
