Can you imagine if there was a "thumbs up/down" option...

I really couldn't care less. I don't see what point it would serve though.

Then pretty much every post would be hidden because it got too many thumbs down. Although for OT that might be an accurate rating for most posts.

It would be a way to measure if your posts consistently suck or not.

Why would that even matter?

Well don't you wonder what people think of your posts?

With as malicious and dramatic as most of the posters are on here, every post would be at like -18 points... Seems like so many people in here have serious issues with the world and other people in general.

It would be a huge distraction. People would thumb down anything that they don't agree with even if the post is a statement of fact. You would have metal fans thumbing down posts talking about rap, Atheists thumbing down posts that talk about Christianity, anti-military posters thumbing down posts that talk positively about the military, Conservatives thumbing down posts that are Liberal, and more. If you want to really see how the thumbs system gets abused go to Yahoo Answers and go to either the religion or politics sections. It's a literal warzone over there.

I'm sure it would, I mean, you know when you see a post you like but you're too lazy to actually quote it and say something, you just thumbs up and vuola, you're done.

It would be a disaster, espcially in system wars. Also I actually don't mind a rep system for every indiviudual users.

I go to another forum with a feature like that, and it works pretty well. Most posts get nothing because people are lazy or don't care. When someone says something really stupid, they get a bunch of thumbs down. When someone makes a long/good/funny post, they get a bunch of thumbs up. There's far fewer people at the forum, so I don't know how it would work here.

I think a like function like facebook would be better. Sometimes I just really agree with a post abut i don't have anything else to add.

It would be just like Facebook or Youtube. The most popular GS users would have thousands of thumbs up/downs and others would rarely have any at all.

This. I believe a rep system would be a nice improvement as long as precautions were put in place so that it couldn't be abused.
