number of downvotes? If a thread has, let's say 50 downvotes, isn't it pretty clear that the thread was not needed or is just awful in general?
I think it would be a good way of self-policing so the admins wouldn't have to check up on tRant as much.
eta- Damn it, knew I should have put in :inb4downvote:

This is a good idea but I downvoted on principle

Which would allow the Rantards to mobilize and delete #tDecline threads at will.

I'm not a fan. We'd lose some real gems if this policy were in place.

It would be a way to combat the deletions if we really wanted to keep a gem.

That's what you get for posting at 3am.Posted on 4/29/14 at 12:12 pm to cas4t

Other fans would just go to other team boards and downvote threads like their recruiting threads and they would be deleted. Even if they had a system like that Rant would still stay filled with new troll threads.
It would take a long time to get 50 votes to be deleted and by that time bad threads are already off the front page anyways.
