the happy thumb up/down section!!?

this is something to ponder: many of the answers at Yahoo!anwers are just oppinions, not absolute principles. As giving 5 thumbs down, an anwer will be censured, aren't we a little easy going thumbing down some answers we are just don't agree but are just another point of view?

SO to symbolize this we could play a little game:

each answerer should give the name of a colour, if the reader of the response has something of that colour at his/her right side he/she will give a thumb up, if he/she has something of that colour at his/her left side he/she will give a thumb down

    But it doesn;t address the major concern: the thumbs down system is badly flawed and easily abused to the point that it means nothing.

    How can I get Best Answer with 8 downs? It doesn;t make any sense

    Random selection - I like it. When the askers had thumbs up/down rating as well (before the star system) I asked a similar question & everyone had lots of fun at my expense by thumbing me down! How rude.

    it was better when they had the thumbs vote for the questions. With the stars, people are not willing to rate the questions since it will show up in their starrlist, and that they use to keep track of favorite askers.
