The "Thanks" function on this site is good

The norm on many forums is to have an up/down system.

But MSE does it a different way - only one-way, up. So you can indicate a post is good, but you can't indicate a post is bad.

I much prefer MSE's way of doing things. With a "down" system it makes people fear for posting what might not be the majority opinion.

Nice one! :money:

    Now Martin wants this to be a "social network" there is no chance of a dislike button.

    But honestly, when people give bad advice there should be an easy way to identify this.
