Gee, I'm famous!
What? No one in this thread has mentioned you. This thread is about low-quality posts (and the monks that post them). Why do you feel addressed by that?

If 5 people found a post helpful but 6 people pissed on it, then I personally want to see the 5, not the 6, and not a -1 which merely blurs the two together.
One, that's not how a democracy works, and two, you seem to be assuming that those downvotes aren't an indicator of the low quality of the node - but then, what do they mean instead?

Democracy is not a good model for how this site works.
I like the idea of having the site explicitly support multiple use/view modes -- one for "I want to see everything, so I can join in the delicious hot mess of "social networking" as manifested in perlmonks", and one for "I want to learn Perl or help others learn Perl in a low-noise environment". Maybe others. This wouldn't really be hard to implement.
I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16 ,000 zombies.
