Why do people up or downvote?
Honestly I think people around here honestly gauge how much truth there is in their opinions and it makes them not feel so alone when they say crazy stuff. Like when cptbengal makes some psycho thread and it gets a bunch of upvotes he feels vindicated and like he has some sort of support, when in reality he'd be laughed back to the basement. This board more than most need them to feel better about stupid ideas.

Its a great group-think promoting tool and I guess helps gauge how well a post hits on the emotional appeal level of a board. Since that is basically all anyone uses that system for.
Outside of that they are mostly trash.
