Well, I'm glad you have yourself convinced. I get that it CAN be abused but it doesn't follow that it WILL be abused. By your logic we shouldn't have a rate-down ability regarding reputation or even an ability to post at all.
1. Last_Ray has abused the mechanism for posting
2. posting can be abused
3. Nobody should be allowed to post on these forums
I say if there is a good reason to have a way of giving a quick thumbs up there should be a quick thumbs down. It is just as confusing to see random thumb ups with no explaination.
If there was a post with a lot of thumbs in either direction it will only get more attention; think train wrecks and car accidents and the fact of morbid curiosity.
By the way, I am not in love with the idea or even frustrated that it hasn't been implemented, it was merely a suggestion and now I am having fun defending it!
