• Suggestion: Remove "dumb" rating
    7 replies, posted
It's absolutely unnecessary and people just keeps spamming it to every post. So i think it should be removed.
Is this a "How many boxes can you get" competition?
You might just be a terrible poster.

The dumb rating exists for a reason - so that you can tell someone that their post's stupid without having to quote them and say "your post was stupid, your and idiot kill you're selve etc". There are similar reasons behind the other ratings. It also acts as an incentive for you to improve your posts - if you're getting lots of dumbs you know you should post better, or just stop altogether.
Kind of weird to ask for removal of dumb rating when OP uses it himself. [editline]2nd August[/editline] If I said something stupid (we all do) I'd rather have a box pop up in the ticker rather than being told to kill myself. Besides, if you don't like it, don't pay attention to it (though I advise you to do so, as it improves posting).
I noticed that people do usually just rate opinion that they don't agree with dumb and they don't discuss it. But that ain't a reason to remove it.
