The current system is worthless. I don't need anyone else's ratings to tell me which posts or members I should like. I have a mind of my own, and I like my opinions better than anyone else's, so what's the point?
On the other hand, it's good to have an easy way where members can repost posts that they think are good on a Good Post Thread, whether its a Post Of The Month Thread, a Post Of The Year Thread, or just a Hey Look At This Cool Post Thread. On forums that have this facility, I do like to look at that thread, because it calls my attention to witty or informative or provocative posts that I wouldn't otherwise have seen because I wasn't participating in the threads that those posts were originally posted on. So that system really makes my experience of a forum better.
The present system doesn't do anything for me.
