  • Stars for an interesting question, why can't we take stars away for rants or rhetorical questions?

    If you can give someone a star for asking a good question, shouldn't there be a way to remove stars from an asker? I someone makes a statement, instead of asking a question, shouldn't we be able to remove starts from them? If someone asks a question that they obviously have no intention of listening to other opinions and then attack the people that answer "their" question, shouldn't we be allowed to give them a negative asker rating?

    If someone can't ask a question in a positve way, why should they be rewarded for a rant based on ignorance, stupidity, or just being a troll?

    I know you lose 5 points just for asking a question, but shouldn't there be a way to penalize people for asking questions they have no intention of considering answers to that don't agree with their schewed views? Why should someone get rewarded for asking a question that only gets stars from radicals that agree with them?

    I am gladly sacrificing 5 points to throw this question out.
