Threads Rating and Fairness

[Kayleigh McMillan]

While I see the rating system can be used with not fully transparant reasons and intentions I feel also it can help for people to add their weight on a post in a safe way.
After all if a post is ranked low and this is clearly not fair I think we are all smart enough to look through that.
I believe such systems are inharent to forums in general and I believe also these options are there for a reason.
I'm affraid we can't completely eliminate the unwanted aspects of it.
I have seen the clearly not fair low ranked posts as well lately but I never thought less of someone purely based on a low ranked post.
