Agree with OF and others. The current system easily targets a poster who apparently pisses off another. Easier on T Dome where we would just yell at each other all the time. We KNEW we were childish.

The good news is that there are literally no consequences to user ratings. They're totally unrelated to warnings (which has to do with running afoul of board rules, and is itself very very rarely utilized by mods). 

I agree that an ideal system would rate posts not users, but I don't think we're going to change board systems just for that feature, so we'll just have to live with it for the time being.
