It's amazing that I have to post this, but I feel it's necessary.

On an Agoracom hub such as this, there is a rating system which you can read about here.

My feeling is that bashers may or may not come into disrupt the forum (basically useless anyway because their posts will be deleted and they will be banned). However, they may screw around by popping in and voting members down.

I say this because I see a few members who only joined two days ago with ratings of less than 5. I can't imagine anyone of us currently involved in the discussions voting less than 5 for another member, but I could be wrong.

Ok, now back to business...
