I'd still like to see the red thumbs go forever. We probably all use them now and then, but they are also open to abuse by the sorts of people who would boo Adam Goodes at the footy.
It's not hard to click "reply" and then click on one or more of these suckers...







... easy ways to show the same disapproval as a red thumb does, but without the anonymity. At least then we know who's who in the longboard zoo.
The people who don't care or don't notice the thumbs won't mind if they go.
The sneaky weirdo/s who abuse them shouldn't have a say.
The few people who really don't like them or who have been targeted will be glad to see them go...
So yeah, taking away the thumbs could only add to the forum, IMHO.
I'm hoping admin consider making the change.
