E.g.: Rate the story Rate NR or: Rate the post content Rate the poster I'm having trouble suggesting the proper categories :) Well you can never find a system suitable for all :)
What about a double system?
E.g.:
Rate the story
Rate NR

or:
Rate the post content
Rate the poster

I’m having trouble suggesting the proper categories :)

I spent a lot of time looking for the best system. The other option is start ratings - I could have one for the post, one of the content and one for the validity of the rumor, but then it will look too crowded and I do not like the star rating system (...3 out of 5 stars). I may put in one of the other blogs and see how it will go. If you guys have other suggestions - let me know. I can publish a bad post and I am sure I will get more negative than positive, independent of the content.

Nikon 35mm f/1.4 AIS MF lens discontinued? is getting many dislikes and many of the people could have a disliking toward the lens being discontinued, not the post itself.

Of course someone can do it but is it worth the effort and how many unique IP addresses can you find? I can also pinpoint the IP geo-location and look for patterns that way. Now I started to block certain IPs from viewing this site, not only preventing them to post comments (no worries - only 3 IP addresses are blocked that way).

Yes, it is not accurate and ideal but still better than nothing. I do not want to get in the same situation where one reader posted multiple comments using different names and almost made me think that I should change a specific post :) Of course this never happened - I did a poll and I got 87% approval.

Like and Dislike could be misunderstood. Hmm, will someone mark “Dislike” for a good post becuase they don’t like hearing they won’t get their hoped for lens or camera immediately.

How about some used lens prices, maybe a avg no using a combo of keh, b&h, adorama and ebay numbers for avg price.

Thanks for all the hard work.

That way the people in the minority can still put forth their views, and if valid enough will no doubt change other people's minds. That’s why there’s still a comment section.

Most forums that implemented a rating system degraded very fast because the very fact that the ignorant people have the majority and unpopulair speech (but still factual right) gets disliked a lot. And since Apple is like a unquestioned religion for some people you'll probably see that the Apple crowd takes over and nobody is ever allowed to say some factual truth about Apple. If you want an example of that, just look at sites like hardware.info or tweakers.net Bad thing.
