I read a long time ago that a lot of people do not like the thumbs down system. I thought of an idea that might make people think before thumbing down to what I callTrolling in Secret. On peoples profile page right uner their UserPic have a small section that shows the number of thumbs down and up they have done. A personality profile you might say.

It's an idea; however, it really doesn't give a true indication in the sense that there's no way I'm going to give a User Review a Thumbs-Up if it's only 1 paragraph and barely meeting the word count.:lol:

Hmm that may work for the ones notorious for giving Thumbs Down but probably not for the general public. Perhaps for the comment/review that get's a Thumbs Down, not only show the number, but once clicked (the number) show also the people that gave a Thumbs Down. Sorta like on Facebook how you can see who liked your comment once you click on the number.

If you ask me, we should just get rid of the thumbs down altogether and only be allowed to thumbs up a post. That would probably be the best solution.

I see your point, it's just that a 1-paragraph review doesn't cut it. Those are being put up just for the levelling points.

Or have a way to sort thread posts by number of thumbs up and down. Get to the goodies.

They balance out the brown-nosers who've given 345 thumbs-up and zero thumbs-down. Is everyone really that oversensitive?
