We're working on implementing a new ratings system to replace and greatly enhance the "likes" we've all come to know and love. The system is, at its core, a user rating system where users are rated based on their posts. The options are Positive, Negative, and Neutral. All of them here will...

That's exactly it. Along with the "simple questions" we have unsubstantiated allegation of illegal activity thrown on. Like you said, if the allegations can be substantiated there are proper procedures and authorities to deal with those. Posting on EO is most definitely not the proper procedure...

In what may be the zenith of snooty and snotty irony (not to mention an abhorrent abuse of power), a Charlie Brown devoid of humor locked what can only be described as a humorous thread because it wasn't "overly productive." Good grief, Charlie Brown. Lighten up. I've never seen a stupid thread...
