Sorry if this is a really stupid question or point, but er
The "Rate this Thread" function?
Myself and several other people have noticed it recently, especially in the Villager Trading Plaza on cycling threads, where this function is being completely misused. It's essentially a way for trolls to make people's threads look bad anonymously for literally no reason. Maybe if there was a thread feedback page, like the wifi feedback page, where comments could be left with people's names put to them, that might be better?
But people who are hosting giveaways and cycling threads and whatnot are getting really bad ratings from what I assume are people who are annoyed because they didn't get what they wanted for (usually) free. Low ratings aren't really helpful either tbh, as it doesn't really help the OP's of the threads improve because well... as it's anonymous, we have no idea who posted it, and why :")
To be quite honest, I just want to stop giving away things and charge instead. It's so irritating.
Am I missing something or..?
