I like both of these.
A potential problem with the first, the valuable guys on 'Spam Watch' may look like 'Troll Voter's, but I'm sure there would be a way for that to be sorted.
Anonymous voting is pretty pointless IMO.

I hunt the pink as well as the next man, but my up votes far out way my down votes. I reckon I'll vote 20-30 times a day and max 10 will be down votes.

As the next man is Griff, that's not a great boast.

Thanks! I think...

I like your earlier suggestion. If you want to be able to vote, you agree to have your voting shown. No agreement, no vote.

This is probably no option, but I vote for removing the voting system.

That was before Microsoft gave us a form designer and garbage collection. You know, back when we were actually responsible for writing good code?

Could we do a big test: One month without voting system ? Simply disable it, and see if the world is really worse without it.

This would obviously be my first choice and one I have pushed many times in the past!

I know you asked someone else, but if you asked me, then my answer would be YES!

Yes, I actually think that would be a good thing. It takes away the hassle of having to leave a comment, while informing the recipients of a vote who has thus endowed them with this special form of appreciation.

...used to take to to "this account is no longer active"
It now takes you to your own account - if this is by design, then it is confusing: I posted a spammer in the S&A forum, and when Nagy clicked on it, it went to him...

Not fair! This was *my* find!
I had an agency on the phone so I couldn't post a report, but you are still a thieving welsh sheep lover!

Why is common sense not common?
Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level where they are an expert.

A friend's wife and I do that to him every time we go out together and he drives. He and my wife are in the front, Eryl and I are in the back. As soon as the car takes the first turning, "Are we there yet?" starts. Winds him up a treat. Childish? Oh yes!

My wife used to do that to me. My only reply was "Almost" and drove her batty. So it backfired on her. Not that she wasn't batty to begin with.

I didn't start it, Griff pushed me!
I am currently having to deal with this in the real world. It is the end of the holidays and the girls are so bored they'd even use an Apple product.
