The irony is: I’m not even sure this capability exists in the forum software I use. (“This capability” meaning stackoverflow-style up/down voting and sorting). I just mentioned it semi-seriously as a way to compliment a post I thought was particularly pithy.
With that said, I just don’t get what all the controversy is about. Posts can get up or down voted, and if you want, you can sort them by votes. Or you can sort by date as it is now, and completely ignore the votes. That’s it. It’s just another piece of information to use or ignore as you wish. Not sure what all the fuss is about. (If it even exists for this software, which again, I’m not even sure it does).
