Positive-Only Rating System

I would love to see the Foundry devs change the rating system to one that more resembles Likes on Facebook or +1's on Google Chrome. This would take away the ability of trolls to destroy our hard-earned ratings. What do you guys think?

you need to add the ...option to vote I like it the way it is/other solution if you want a fair poll. Sometimes the lack of votes in a category says more than votes.

but there should be also the option to rate "don't like" or "-1" otherwise if would make no sense to have a rating system if anyone is forced to give a positive vote. Anyway a single troll or a few of them cannot destroy the ratings. When that happens it means that a lot of people voted down and very likely they weren't trolling but onestly they did think that the work was not worty.
However to be fair a guy should be able to vote only once per work

I'm sorry, this is a Positive-Only poll.

If they don't like it, all they have to do is NOT like it. That way, the author isn't losing points, but isn't gaining any either. The best authors will still come out on top this way. And trolls won't be able to manipulate the list by using alts anymore since the impact of one like won't be as big as a one star review is with our current system.

I think mods are going to lock this and redirect to the sticky.

Please don't make biased polls. Fixed that for you.

EDIT: Actually, no... I tried to make the poll unbiased but that just makes it wrong and confusing. Please use forethought and unbiased opinions when making polls.
