I think you are my VJ hero today, Johnny.

For the love of god, yes. The level of unabashed f^cktardedness seems to be rising on a nearly daily basis. Even if giving a "-1" gave pleasure only to the one who doled it out, it would be deeply satisfying.

Campaign to Bring Back the "-1" rating starts NOW.

Edit to add: And while we're at it, bring back rebeccajo, who I believe was a completely self-contained "-1" system unto herself.

Edit to add redux: Fixx0red atrocious grammar in the addendum; I got the case all wrong. Oh, the shame.

Good good good! Finally, the Army of the Night is rising on VJ! Come friends, let us end the tyranny of the only option being "+1"!

There needs to be some way of indicating that a post is giving bad information. It happens every day and unless there is some discouragement, bad advice and/or misinformation will be propogated.

+1 to your +1 for the -1. What's that in new math?

I don't know, I'm just a girl. As Barbie said, "Math is hard."

It'd take a bullhorn and a shovel to stop some of that, you know.

Of course its all relative. You can create a "negative 1" easily enough now. If there are 7 posts in a thread and 2 = bad advice, then simply hit +1 on the other 5 posts.

I've already done it to this thread. My post is the lowest rating, ie it would contain bad advice.

You have a valid point.

Yay! I have given the best advice in this thread then -- campaign for the re-introduction of the "-1" AND mount an armed struggle against VJ. Although it is against my creed to use it, I feel this is the appropriate time to deploy this smilie:
