"Since you asked, I would vote for doing away with scoring altogether. I like the requirement that everyone register, and that they are required to use their actual name. I also like the recent photo option. Nonetheless, if it were my call, I'd forego the peer-scoring altogether. I think too that I would do away with the star ranking."

I agree entirely.

Registration does seem to have helped reduce the number of moronic posts. The scoring system however seems to be making some posters rather paranoid.
