Quote from FuturesTrader71:
Wel... Do you believe in Karma? There you go!!
The poster being ganged up on will re-appear, just like they do here, with a different name and are then rated on their new posts based on that quality. The idea is not to keep the rating system fair in case someone has made enemies. Rather, it is useful for the collective to vote on good posts or bad. Most posts won't be voted on at all. I want to see when someone is sharing information that is of a high enough quality that others will rate it and then I can search for those particular posts when I'm interested in a subject/thread. Those who engage in bickering and attract enough attention to their posts to cause others to want to chase them down with a poor rating would most likely not be of interest to me anyway. As always, the system just needs to serve a general purpose and perfection is not the aim.
Would you agree?
