Hey my first thread in the suggestion section. Yeah, thre + or - system should just be removed. It is rather pointless.
It does give people a way to easily anonymously express their opinion.
Which matters because?

because even after being shown to be an idiot online, idiots can feel better about themselves by rating down everyone they dont like

It's mostly a tool used by Karma bombing *** to make them feel a little better about themselves, but occasionally, a (Notably) high score can point to good stories/bits of info, ect. On the flipside, a super low score is often the equivalent of the Ghosts' laser designator, which pinpoints targets that are likely lolcows ripe for the milking.

I think we should make it that if your rate downs in a post exceed 5 (or some other number) the forum would automatically delete your post!

And if you get three (or some other number) posts removed in a thread you get topic banned.

Would help tame some of the biggest trolls on here
Just sayin~

It does tend to point out better posts as it always seems that people are quicker to rate down than they are to rate up.

this is pretty much the lamest suggestion of all time

taking the average AHer into consideration, the last thing we need to do is put things to a popular vote

Just put a REPORT where the -+'s were.
and something a long the lines of "this post was thanked by xyz" like all the Vbulletin forums have would be a nice touch.

in any case, everyone has their own personal magic banstick for the trolls they don't appreciate, called the block function

no need to take steps to make ah more cliquish than it already is, people like draylo, who do occasionally have useful suggestions, would be topicbanned as soon as they made 3 posts

well if we're posting ideas...

instead of - it should be 'report'.

+ can stay though.

Mods should let people know that reporting isn't on unless it's important.

useless
- 10 of 69 thesaurus results
Main Entry: useless
Part of Speech: adjective
Definition: not working; not valuable
Synonyms: abortive, bootless, counterproductive, disadvantageous, dysfunctional, expendable, feckless, fruitless, futile, good-for-nothing, hopeless, idle, impracticable, impractical, incompetent, ineffective, ineffectual, inept, inoperative, inutile, meaningless, no good, nonfunctional, of no use, pointless, profitless, purposeless, scrap, stupid*, unavailable, unavailing, unfunctional, unproductive, unprofitable, unpurposed, unusuable, unworkable, vain, valueless, waste, weak, worthless
Antonyms: helpful, usable, useful, valuable, working, worthwhile

If something is henceforth useless or pointless, then leave it alone and move on.
It works both ways~
Since you declare the system is "useless," leave it be and move on; although, since you move to have it removed one could assume it indefinitely causes you bother of some retort.

Rate downs/up are fine how they are. The nice thing about rate downs/up is it allows you to gauge the communities response to your post, that way after you post some super ***, illogical, incoherent paragraph about why Nazis are great, or whatever stupid/unfunny thing you type, you can see how much you're failing. Conversely, it allows you to see when urdoinitrite.

You copy-pasta'd the definition, but did you take time to read it?

That's why I said or some number because a fair system can be worked out. I was just throwing some numbers out there. Something like -30 ratedowns to remove a post, along with 10 of those in the same thread to be topic banned is arguably more reasonable.

But yeah your right the block button suffices and my suggestion is far too complex and favors popular vote.

Personally, I find some amusement when trolls post and I have nothing against Draylo, Elanabelle (or however you spell his name), Stanflame, or any other infamous troll posting here in these forums.

Another way to fix it would be to stop anons rating.

I'm pretty sure the majority of HUGE rate downs come from socks.

Agreed, and furthermore (if I may add to your post), it saves the reader some time. For example if I say a huge wall of text with -10 ratedowns I typically don't read it. Same goes with videos in the Pics that make you LOL thread, if I see a 10 minute video with 0 ratings or even ratedowns I won't waste my time with it. On the other hand, if posts are rated up then they more or less likely deserve consideration.
