Then there are people like me who have the power to give + or - ratings, but don't because I only give them to things I'm interested in. And since I'm the only person who contributes to the thread I'm interested in most, I don't hand out + or - ratings.
To me the - ratings are strange anyway. Why give a - rating when reporting the comment is equally effective or warranted? - Ratings are used to punishing garbage comments, or at least they are supposed to be. More often then not they are used to silence dissenting views. But what good is giving a - rating for a trollish or abusive comment with the forum's report feature was designed to deal with the same?
As for + ratings. If I don't care about it, I don't read it. If I don't read it, no matter its quality or depth, it's not getting a rating from me.
Sorry. But that's how it is.
You are profound sir/mam.
