I suggest second option for rating the post. Now, there is possibility to rate the post +1, I would like to have also option for -1.
At the header of the post there would be This post orange balls for +1 as it is now and maybe red balls with a number for -1. The same for Overall Posts Rated of the user.
I think it would be better there to see both numbers and not only one comparing +1 and -1, because for example final result 0 can be 0 of +1 and 0 of -1 or 1000 of +1 and 1000 of -1 as well.

Oops, I was trying to give your post -1. ;)

Actually, I like the idea, mostly because it deals with negative numbers. But I can't spend all day following Naker around trying to give him a -1.

On the other hand, this +1 system is more encouraging to be a post whore.

In this current system, the great posts will still get rated. No need to poorly rate the remaining posts, what would be the point?

I don't think this system encourages people to post excessively. It just makes people feel more comfortable posting when losers on the internet aren't rating their post down because of a spelling mistake, or because it is in a whinging thread, or because a newbie asked another question or for whatever other reason.

There is no reason we need to rate posts negatively. If you really don't want to see posts rated up then suggest for the entire post rating system to be removed. But there is no way that allowing negative ratings is in any way good for the game.

lol dislike button on facebook would simply increase teen bullying and suicide rates lol. Never gonna happen.

Thankfully, you're here with all the answers about what sort of horrendous psychological damage the clicking of buttons do to people. All of modern society owes you a giant debt of gratitude.
