You know what would be an interesting DU experiment? An "anti kick".
Imagine if there was a way to kick a thread to the bottom of the page.

Now that would be popular! :evilgrin:

7. Poop
I remember before the recommend system we had one poster who just

Pooped

in any thread he didn't like. That's all. One word in the subject field.

:rofl:

I forget who that was.

8. It would only serve to benefit the
Obama supporters who outnumber
the Hillary supporters 3 to 1
here. DU would really be turned
into 'ObamaUnderground' instead
of just appearing like it.

10. I can see our trolls having a lot of fun with that
anti-kick ability could be a powerful weapon in the wrong hands

14. Yep. Almost local paper has that feature online for comments to news stories
Guess what? Only on viewpoint gets to see the light of day in the comments section, and it ain't progressive!

The 101st Keyboarders have learned how to clear their cache and the newspaper site doesn't filter out repeat votes.

It doesn't work.

12. a 5 star rating system accomplishes the same
if you don't like something, you rate it 1 star; if you love it, rate it 5 and so on.

13. It's time for the admins to revisit the +/- vote on threads.
If only for the GDP threads, I think it would be a good idea.
