Time to get rid of voting on posts in the beginners forum.

I'm not going to tell you how to feel, and I'm not going to say it's right to randomly/arbitrarily vote down legitimate questions.  But just know that actual responses from people may be far less "welcoming."

Having said that, there are more than a few posters who are genuinely helpful.  My advice to anyone visiting would be to browse before you post a question.  Then you'll have an idea who are the helpful people, who are the true trolls, and who are the gadflies.  Then use that as a filter for any replies to your questions.

I agree that the voting system is anonymous, but then again the frequent advice here often is worth what you paid for it.
