    IF YOU JUST VOTED "NO" ON THE POLL, PLEASE EXPLAIN THE REASON BEHIND THE VOTE SO THAT I DO NOT HAVE TO PM YOU OR WRITE ON YOUR WALL ASKING WHY YOU ARE AGAINST MY IDEA. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

    Umm, I don't like the fact that people are too lazy to check whether or not something has been suggested before and they just take the credit and a bunch of positive ratings for duplicate threads, while the original ideas get ZERO recognition.

    I think ratings just need to be removed and that's the end of the story. I don't think anyone wants to have a lot of plagiarism on forums.

    I was about to say that I'd love to see a feature where ratings from duplicate/plagiarized post were removed and transferred to the original post, but I don't think xenforo can handle it.

    I hate plagiarism as well but I don't really see the point in taking away ratings as they're just ratings and don't mean anything

    afaik it would count as neutral/negative which have been disabled.

    I don't think plagiarism is positive in any way.

    Oh I totally agree, it was just a thought. That could be one negative rating, although people could just spam it..

    I don't think it's a big deal. If anything all it means is that the post got more popular, which is exactly what the original poster wanted.
