It feels any point system would be easy to break and it's better not to provide any system if it's not bullet-proof. But most important is that adding such system would only add clutter and unnecessary things to the forum; the message itself should be the most important instead. It takes less time to skim a 100-word post than to: decide if to vote, then decide if to vote 'thumbs up' or 'thumbs down', then repeat it with every post. In time (possibly after a few days or so) such system would lose the most of its value because you're here to read and give written opinions rather than agree or disagree with a voting system. It's just not efficient and time consuming.
michaltk: change the boring grey layout to something less boring... and then everybody should be happy :-)
Maybe except for your eyes and head ;}. Perhaps adding some colorful banners or pop-ups would help?
daffy: it kinda allows readers see if the views of the poster are supported like lets say, oh i dont know, crow ;) or espana, or admin! :P (ok maybe admins and mods exempt, but still) kindof an interesting idea. I dont think it adds or detracts quality - maybe it just adds clutter but then, an interesting point to see the racist threads exposed more visually as being a real minority.
Clutter is bad indeed; the less clutter the better :)
michaltk: install few useful modules such as user warnings etc.;
Once you have at least 20 posted messages you'll be able to alert moderators about inappropriate posts.
Wroclaw Boy: Whats your motivation Admin? im curious.
The biggest motivation is to make the site useful and efficient for those who want to learn about Poland and Polish people. Other things may/will come later if needed. If the main motivation was to 'make money' then the site would probably fail after a few months. The idea is quite simple - do what you are interested in and do it well and other things will come when you need them.
