Default We need to require IQ tests

To the Admin:

Can you somehow institute an IQ test that members have to take to remain active? We have more and more trolls signing up and all they do is deride EVERY post so that meaningful debate is impossible.

Seriously, I know we can't institute an IQ test, because we would lose all of our favorite far-right-wingers, but something needs to be done to lessen the "troll factor."

Does anyone else agree?

There's ALOT of stupid posting going on. There seems to be very little in the way of intelligent debate in certain sections. But, I've noticed, that on almost every board I've posted, the American political sections always seem to attract the least intelligent debates. It's kind of depressing.

Sometimes a "rate this post" type thing, instead of a rate this thread thing, can help. It can also cause it's own problems.

There is a rate this topic down in the bottom of the thread, but nobody uses it. Just ignore the useless posts, it helps plenty. Ever noticed that I post very little on the US presidential threads, there is a reason for that.
