Should These Forums Allow For Up / Down Voting?

Upvote / Downvote System On These Forums??

  • Yes!! I can't wait to start downvoting!!

  • No,.. leave things as is please.

  • I am raging moron.


Results are only viewable after voting.

Yes, I know this is not reddit.

But, when it comes to ignoring, you can prove you really don't care for what someone says, by downvoting all their posts and comments - that will show them!!

Personally, I don't care. But, would you all want an up/down vote feature on these forums?

,... WHAT SAY YOU!?

There is an ATOT subreddit, so go nuts.
http://www.reddit.com/r/atot/

Bulk Beef, fake girlfriend, and Anandtech Forum corruption have been immortalized there. Classic threads. :thumbsup:

Since I had to vote, I picked the only option I agree with. Good ol' third position.

Meh, system would not have any real effect. The trolls don't really bother me, it's the annoying spammers who piss me off.

You can do that already by posting and calling the OP a festering sack of putrid arseholes.

I vote no to any of it, but if we were going to be forced into it I'd say Upvoting only.

Down voting inevitably leads to shit fights of users ganging up on people and down voting everything they say whether it's useful or not. No one up votes out of spite, so people usually only get up votes when they've done something worthwhile.

further examples:

Methinks thou art a general offense, and every man should beat thee

Elif air ab dinikh {"a thousand dicks in your religion"}

Thick as shit, and only half as useful...
