I'm pretty sure that we would have gotten quite an extra bunch of emails like that one if a majority of current tmo users would have wanted to vote.
Hmm I nearly e-mailed but thought that a bit cheeky as my tmo account is only a month old

I think that would be a good idea... it would cut out a lots of the repetitive threads that annoy those that have been here for while.. and anonymous troll threads too! It was used to good effect on a bike forum I was on a while ago... you couldn't start a new thread until you had got a certain number of thanks by posting in other threads I think...
