I just noted that
Hybrid owner fights back! thread had the lowest possible rating (one star), until I gave it five stars to get it up to three. This is not a thread I started, but it's happened to other threads.
The common denominator seems to be to rate down any hypermiling or anti gas-guzzeling thread. The
Hybrid owner fights back! thread does not seem to be controversial or provactive to people who like hybrids - the people that are supposed to join GreenHybrid.
This looks like trolling and/or from a member that is not a hybrid enthuasist. Just because this is happening, I still think a Reputation Rating could be brought back in a more troll-resistant way. Back to thread rating, if the active members vote on threads more often, it will drown trolls.
