It's probably just me.

But I think that the BBS should have little up / down rating things like on Youtube.
Then, if there were enough down ratings on a post, it would get deleted or something.
I don't know, this will probably open me up to much flaming, but I'd like to share that idea anyways.
It might be pretty cool! =P

yeah its just you
that system would be abused heavily is used on the BBS.
of course im sure you knew that a response like mine would come up

[jewdudewtf]

Just like AAB said, it would be abused. Aside from that, if they were just hidden instead of deleted, users might miss out on a post, thus not getting the whole jist of the whole topic.

[BigFuzzyKitten]

I can see it now, tons of TomFulp posts with so many high marks they had to give it it's own catagory.

MAYBE IF HE SEES MY NAME THERE ILL GET MOD

[djconnect]

That would just start more mass voting crews. Plus thats why mods are hear. If something is unacceptable they will delete it in due time.

The rating thing. It always is used like a weapon.

It is dumb.

[Pounce]

It would be abused to server overload

It'd go down just because of that.

[Reapertonn]

It'll be abused pretty badly by any troll.

[Gergaloth]

Stay on youtube, good advice.

[EvilerBowser1001]

No. Dickhats would abuse it like hell.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Oh Newgrounds, with your wise logic and anecdotes - you have convinced me otherwise.
You're all pretty right about the abuse thing, so I agree now.
Now this thread has no point though, oh well.

[mothballs]

We already have that on reviews, and believe me it sucks donkey dick.

[Electric-Bla]

So when you don't agree with someones opinion, you'd just vote it down right? Yes, that sounds practical...

[darknessdweller]

Erm, ya.... dumb idea.

[yurgenburgen]

No. Because, people would vote down certain posts just because they disagreed with them. Unfortunately, there are a lot of tardvarks on Newgrounds who can't comprehend that someone might not agree with them on something. So there'd be extra work for the moderators, having to explain why they haven't deleted well-written, thought-out arguments.

@ people saying it would be abused:

It doesn't matter, it would be moderated as reviews are, eventually it would be down to the mods to verify stuff.

But I still thinks it's a bad idea; there's enough moderators to go around.
