The point system is great but still needs some work, currently the thread starters have an advantage upon the people that help, So buff the Rate button!
I also think that we should have a ,/ button and a X button instead of the rate button to make it easier for the people to use that feature.
I don't know. It would then increase the amount of replies people have been giving, but i guess this would help somewhat. Maybe more like 1.5 points, or basicly an extra point every other reply. You gotta remember that replying to your own thread actually gives you the points as well.
Now you can only rate attachments with a range of -1 , to 5 , I suppose that makes this poll obsolette, but As a last suggestion, now that rate only works with attachments put the rate link close to the attachment download link.
