The definition of drivel is not "you don't like what I say"
Perhaps you'd like to explain how I have control over my posts, if I've been banned.
It isn't about envy, it's about a useless function because some abuse it.
Let's assume for one minute that I ask advice on a a DIY matter.
I receive several replies, some contradicting others.
How do I choose which to accept and which to deny?
Of course, I use the 'thanks' rating as one such criteria.
But some choose to abuse the function to raise their own rating., making it not only utterly useless as choice of criteria, but intentionally misleading.
