Voting should be disabled altogether IMO until we can figure out a way to stop the voting manipulation that is going on. Right now, it's turned the entire boards into a joke and good topics are being kept down for no reason. You can't even differentiate between topics at all anymore, it's complete chaos I tell you!
It's irritating, certainly.
The thing is that, when we disabled voting in the past, we discovered the community really likes voting, and valued the features that require voting to work, such as the Boards Home Page, the Hot post sorting option, Discussion View, etc. The community has also seemed pretty good at looking for vote-manipulated threads, self-identifying them, and keeping good threads in Recent by posting on them and engaging in discussion. As a result, I'm not sure we're at the point where the nuclear option is necessary, given how much it frustrated people last time.
Aaaaaaaand -53.
