An alternate
vote that is more about venting
spleen and
venom than the actual quality of a
node. The
idea is that it would free up
noders from having to concentrate on pleasing the
assholes and give the assholes the sort of
validation they feel they deserve for being
obnoxious . A possible alternative to write ups getting
killed because they aren't jokes or
cheap shots at more serious writings while still giving the mega space wasters who accumulate huge quantities of votes less
power to
censure differing opinions.
Giving the cavemen something to pound on without actually giving them currency is probably not the worst idea ever written up.
Please don't interpret this as anything other than misdirected sarcasm. We all have to deal with getting snapped with towels in the locker room of life.
