As you have probably noticed, we have expanded the Reputation System to include the negative rating button again. If you are unfamiliar with this, at the bottom right of every post, you will find this: The GREEN UP button when clicked, will give a positive 1 point to the rating of the user's post. The RED DOWN button when clicked, will give a negative 1 point to the rating of the user's post. The action of the two are cumulative; that is, 4 positive up votes combined with 2 negative down votes will result in a net of 2 positive votes. All votes are tabulated in the User's profile. The Reputation System is used through out the AVSIM system. Galley owners, contributors to the Video Gallery, Comments to article, reviews and news items, all can be rated by the full membership here. You can only vote once. Once you have voted, the RED / GREEN arrow will disappear and you will not be allowed to vote on that topic or message again. Admins, moderators and senior staff cannot be voted on. IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW: We have brought this system back with the down vote enabled to more fairly rate the contributions of a user by his / her fellow members. One liner nonsensical responses, topic hijacking, off topic posts, mean spirited participation and so on, all are justifications for using the down vote. However, we have also experienced "piling on" and "score keeping", agendas at play, competitive motives, etc. Administrators and moderators can see who has voted what. Abuse will result in removal of forum access if necessary, or complete removal of voting rights entirely. Use the voting function with common sense and without agenda. It is there to improve the quality of the forums, not to seek revenge, tit for tat petty differences, etc.
