FJ you are always ahead of the curve.
I agree completely the current thumbs up rating system is flawed. Trolls have an equal weight as do Hub Leaders who have earned their status by posting substantial research and due diligence for many years.
Agoracom should consider implementing a weighted thumbs up system where the weight is based on a members score. For example DNWL's vote should be far heavier weighted than a shorting trolls. I used DNWL as an example because his numerous well written posts have earned him a 4.2 rating by this POET Agoracom community. Perhaps his weight should be 4.2 times that of a non-contributing troll.
Thanks again for your leadership and efforts at making this a better forum.
