Now what we're seeing is thread about whatever, and people are coming to the thread saying, this is stupid, I'm down voting you. and then we see the reply of "oh yeah, well I'm down voting you" Its very elementary school and I think just gives trolls another way to troll.
On the other hand, I think it does encourage those who already post way too much to post even more in hopes of getting more up vote attention.
Both situations are attention seeking and neither really improves the quality of the forums.
I also hope they do away with the system.
