Heres an idea... Survivor: DP.. or perhaps.. Darwin: DP

    Digital Forum needs to add a new feature called "Survivor: DP". Basically, if enough people think you're an idiot.. you get voted off DP island. Unlike the rating system, an algorythm would aid in validation of your level of stupidity. End of story. Hopefully this wonderful feature would cut down on the volume of people that think DP rules are stupid because they would be gone long before they have had a chance to make themselves look stupid in 10 or 20 rediculous threads :p

    I think that is not a good move to keep this community united. I like the current atmosphere of DP...

    helping each other and sometimes being challenged by law breakers. :D

    I think it's a bad idea.

    Too many people will take it like a popularity contest - which it basically is

    If they make 20 ridiculous threads they usually end up banned or with alot of infractions anyway...

    Not going to happen... If people deserve the power of banning people they would already be a moderator.

    Many of us aren't here to vote.
    Ask for help, offer help. I can build a voting website for you if you like :)

    we actually don't come here to show ourself,our reputations or how much power we or how much money we earn,or sth.

    No one is perfect here,we come here to seek helps or helps other so other will help us.this is just like a family i help you now and when i have problem you are always there to help me.
    this is how our community goes.

    We are not here to throw someone out or make some one god.

    And Yea your idea is also not bad ,but i would say that may apply to new forums/community,or any commercial forums or any warez ones where members has no value.
    This forum is free for everyone and we are the happiest members.

    If I'm Wrong Point Me Out.

    any idea how the algo would actually compute your stupidity?
    I'm guessing you just mean an expansion of the rep tool with more options.
