Sergio, thanks for listening to the desires of the people on the forum. It's refreshing and nice to see a democratic type process work in a society that has become very dictatorial. I like the way you resolved the issue so that all could be happy.

Votes are a way for the people to communicate what they like or dislike and for this very reason I think it's valuable that we keep it. If it's not being an accurate representation then maybe it needs some tweaking.

Maybe this is something that could make the vote system more effective and less abused. When you click the vote button it would give you a small text field where you could say why you gave it the rating you did. Kind of like the feedback system on eBay. Then there could be a hover fly-out thing over the star area that would show the details of what people said. Like this maybe:

Voter #Stars Comments

TrInItY 5 A freedom fighters essential read
146968 5 Informative & well written by OP
SHR 4 Good post but needs cliff notes
EAT 5 I predicted this
DOOM 1 Not enough doom
BMG 4 Bush is going down
Rex 3 Cliff notes PLEASE
Raupp 1 This is BS
IDW 5 TPTB stooges aren't going to like this
Rev SG 5 Good positive read, very uplifting
1starbot 1 I give 1 star to threads not about God
______

That way you can get a feel for the reality of the votes and get a quick review by some of the people whose opinions you value. In the above example you know that it's going to be a long read but a good one. You could also get a general idea of what the thread is about if the reviewer is a good summarizer. People that wouldn't stand behind their public vote just wouldn't vote.
