The other forum I'm on about has a reputation system. Each poster has a button under their username that says "helpful/unhelpful" and people who take umbrage with your post can simply press it and give a reason if needs be.
I had one when I posted a thread last year and some eejit replied "old news this was announced months ago" to which I simply replied "That's nice" [/Mrs Brown style]

- I then got a negative with the comment "its not his fault you repeat news stories"

Exactly!
The same forum has an auto close after 30 days, so if there's a thread on a movie that had no new news for a while you have to start a new thread every time!
Its dumbassery I tells ya!

As long as you're popular with us who gives a shit

Aww thanks!
And yes, there are some right toolboxes around... usually I just ignore them, but it really got my goat when it was two comments in two consecutive threads.
At least I've got you lovely folks!
