I completely agree with this. Unless an argument is successfully made that FT needs the ratings feature back because the positives will outweigh the negatives, "and I can prove it - look at this", and that the troublemakers (and it would serve no good purpose to name names
post-facto) have changed, FT's past history demonstrates that the food fights and resulting bad blood will spill over into lots of sideshows in ORP, TalkBoard, and everywhere else.
And maybe it's just me, but it seems to me that since ratings and reputation were disabled, things have been VERY, VERY calm in comparison to earlier times. Maybe it would be better just to leave it off?
