Does Anyone else have a problem with the new ratings system?
There is no way to "dislike" an answer and I've noticed that the Trolls are getting bolder now that the low rating component of answers has vanished. What are your opinions?

I HATE IT!!! You can't even give thumbs down for some really stupid answers. You can't even give a thumbs down for the trolls.

To be honest, I'm a bit mixed about this new system. The content doesn't change much because you still have answerers trying to get ratings for "funny" answers, but you don't have to deal with users getting into thumb wars.
It still shows the old rating system for me, but I saw the new one briefly yesterday. During that time, I saw certain folks taking advantage of this new "Like" system (after a brief shitstorm of tears, of course). Trolls are going to find some way of annoying other users regardless of the system in place. The new one just gets rid of the TD ones.
