Honestly, being on the SR forums, it should be take a Xanax. :P

Really though, I don't think this is super practical for a couple reasons.  Firstly implementation.  It's obviously not built into the simple machines code.  It would have to be specifically added whereas the 'karma' whether referred to as such or something else is generally built into forums.  Secondly, purpose.  It would I GUESS show people when someone thought another individual flew off the hook too quickly, however, that would be apparent merely from reading the posts.  thirdly, effective-ness.  Would it just be abused like the karma system is?  would it actually accomplish something for all the work it would take for the admins/extra complain-y threads that would pop up when someone got a count and didn't understand why.  then they'd get more of them and be even more frustrated.

Good intention, bad idea.  Next? :)
