I will own up to writing my fair share of throw-away posts - actually, I think all of us do it at some point (including the blues and reds) - but this 'Thanks' option got me thinking the obvious.
So, I have a Q.

Since there is a script that can 'thank' - surely there is a script that can 'not thank'? Plus's and Minus's. Rate or unrate.
I know these Digg sites can be raucous at times, but, rather than simply having a 'thanks' and 'take your thanks away' option - wouldn't it be more democratic to negatively thank a posts that jar, are unfriendly, say nowt new, or, are simply BS?
Basically its a Digg - but I am sure it would be more like a 'rate this post' type thing on sats.uk. As opposed to the current 'rate this user' thanks type thing.
Thoughts?
