Yeddai petition to end harassment

I agree and I disagree, Bob. I thought about your response to my earlier comment in another question, and you are right in that people should be able to delete what they don't want to see, however, I still feel that even if contrary opinions upset the poster, there are many others who read the question and benefit from the advice whether positive or negative. This brings up the idea of "question ownership". Do you actually own your question?? If I ask a question, can I manipulate others to adhere to my desired response, or should the question belong to the site once it is posted. I think that the negative thumbs should be gone, and I think that anyone who appreciates an answer should be allowed to award others with this high praise. But, I think that the profanity and vulgar responses should be eliminated. I wish that there could be volunteers to monitor the site if Yedda cannot keep up with the responsibility. I once offered to look out for the kids on this site, because you cannot get to their profiles and most people don't understand that if you don't have a profile of any klind you are between the ages of 13 and 18. I was turned down. I would be willing to act in this capacity to better the site. Perhaps if there were others willing to do the same??

I agree and I disagree as well , I personally do not feel that ditching Yedda is the answer.  Here's some more thoughts .... Remove the thumbs down option all together or you give a thumbs down , it leaves your name .  We continue to help Yedda moderate the site .  I do not agree with a delete button .  If someone posts an answer it should be posted , regardless to who agrees or disagrees with it . Excluding personal attacks . For an example , If Yedda poster X submits an opinion and Yedda poster Y doesn't agree they should not have the ability to delete X's answer , regardless to if they ask the question or not .  I agree 100% that Yedda needs to do their job better than they have in the past . 

 I vote for option C. Period. The other delete options offer too much control based on opinion. I see an unending feud when everyone has the power to delete. You can still give approval with a short post to that person.

To be honest, I enjoy seeing a few thumbs up in my box. Who can disagree. But nobody comes to Yedda because of the cool thumbs ranking system. At first, they come here to field a question or a thought. Only after becoming familiar with the game do they realize what this "thumb thing" is and how it works. Before you know it, thumb lust sets in. "And if your thumb causes you to stumble, pluck it off and throw it from you..."

My answers to thumbs ratio is quite close, which is the desired effect. My posts in the past have been received poorly. I have been soundly thrashed by the thumbs down mutant. I have deleted most of my own posts out of pure shame. However, I agree with Profitbob on this point... it is through the wisdom of advice and consistent answers that have built Yedda to where it is now. And the man from New Orleans... about the money end of it. The outcome of this will not effect the profits and losses line at the bottom of the page. UNLESS they are looking at all this as "any publicity is good publicity". It has caused a stir and people are watching the grunts down here in the trenchs fight amongst themselves...to see whether or not the outcome will put cash in their wallets.

Toooo Funni, so this is the thumb room......kewell......Night all, and have fun!.......G~

Profitbob, Thank you for all of your help. You are a true Yeddite.
