Helpful Answers Abuse
I find the Helpful Answers feature to be quite useful, and surprisingly accurate. However, it is subject to abuse. That is, someone who starts marking many posts in a thread or regularly marks numerous posts from a person they don't like as negative. For example, one of the member's in an argument marked nine posts in one thread in the last day. Surely nine posts in one thread in one day are not all memorable. Basically, this is ballot stuffing and invalidates the vote. Abuse of the feature harms the usefulness of the feature and misleads members. I've never done this, but all of a user's marks can be removed with one click.
We are here to learn, teach, and share. Not to take part in petty rivalries.
