I have received complaints about the quality of some of the threads and messages posted to the forum these days.
If I see a thread that is out of control, I can and do mark it as Read-Only. This effectively shuts down the thread. However, I just don't see a majority of the rogue threads.
So, my question is, should we try to inhibit the noise and improve the quality of the responses in some way? For example,

Many thumbs up.
Just a question: Without logging in, I can post using a large number of aliases. But that also implies that unless you add accounts, I would be able to vote using a large number of aliases.
With real accounts, I think the voting would help a lot. It would be no fun to write stupid comments if all it took to clear it out was a number of negative votes.
But trolls are likely to give out false votes too.
I would think that you would have to weitht votes. People who have received many positive votes for earlier posts may get a bigger weight when giving out a negative vote. That makes it hard for quick drive-by attacks on the forum. You have to actively fight for the right to "moderate" bad posts by spending time giving helpful answers.
