Guild Wars 2

So what do you other guardians think? Do we need a thread voting system that will ban or atleast block troll threads without the use of a mod?

No. Vote systems attract more trolls. If you want to put someone down, you still have to put your unique name out there. It takes at least a shred of guts. Vote systems are generally based on anonymity. Guess what will happen.

Rating stuff has a much lower threshold and will end up with most threads dipping into below average ratings in my experience. Voting to straight-up lock threads will only empower trolls to anonymously shut down any discussion they don’t like.

True. I dident think of that. Atleast the mods are great at getting rid of troll threads.
