The thumb system is simpler but it's a lot duller overall. It hasn't solved anything either as people can harass with the new system by thumbing down a members posts all the time and sending a PM if they feel compelled to leave a comment too.

Old system with comments disabled possibly, with the ability to "neg bomb" removed. Good idea in the "other forum" the other day about having a scale of five bars either way, where repping moves you one bar back or forward along the scale.

There's an argument to be made for just removing the whole thing altogether though - which would be preferable if the only other option was the old system back unchanged.

The polls need fixing FFS...

Three things about that:

1. it is entirely visible to everyone and the harassment can easily discerned for what it is.
2. each "thumb" only relates to a single post and is not carried around with the poster permanently.
3. each "thumb" only carries the same weight as other "thumbs"

All of which means it is light years ahead in fairness and transparency compared to the old, deeply flawed system.

I agree with removing the whole thing altogether.
