Since we now have the ability to unrec post.
We should have the Worst threads on the Front page. Also a number of unrecs would be nice.

1. Doing the math can let you know how many unrecs there are.
Take the total number of votes and substract the total of + votes, and you will know the total of unrecs.

As for a Worst Thread on the Front page.....why want to provide maximum exposure to what a majority find bad enough to bother to recommend? How does that provide any kind of service to anyone?

2. When it say "less than 0", you don't know how many positive votes...
...only that there were more negative ones.


For example:


If it says '<0' and 63 responses.... all you know is that there were AT LEAST 32 negatives... but there could have been as many as 63.

4. A "Worst Of" page would be a hoot.
Many DUers would no longer have to visit "teh place that shall not be mentioned" for additional entertainment.

It would also be interesting if the admins were taking the occasional look at those who might be dissing perfectly reasonable and polite threads for no apparent reason, but that smacks of fascism - even though it would be O.K. if WE did it : )
