Yes thumbs.

If people don't like something they can just click on a red thumb and get it off their chest without it descending into a classic internet slanging match.

The next question is whether the number of red and green thumbs people get should be displayed or affect the operation of the forum. Some forums block people for a few days if they get too many negative hits.

I suspect not. That can make things personal and lead to vindictiveness and all sorts of nastiness.

Vote with your feet move to other forums!

The Thumb thing clearly prevents people having a say.

When you see even the top people that have significant experience in the sport no longer contributing on issues then you know this forum is heading down a very bad track.

The number of 1 - 5 post ghost profiles has dramatically increased and they appear to work in a organised fashion to sway the forum one way or another. If you watch the formation of the text its pretty easy to work out who is who.

You only have to follow those profiles into the general area to see thier comments on how they had fun setting up this person or that person to see to them its a game.

I think a more practical solution is to be able to block posts from other members if you dont want to see them.

There really arnt many slanging matches when you consider the volume of posts.

The quality of the content now means like us many people are moving on to other sites.
