It seems like there are more off-kilter replies to message posts these days. People come here for suggestions and help and they often just get crazy/misleading/misdirecting stuff that drowns out the voices of reason.

Would it be possible to add voting to all replies? Then, the community can upgrade/downgrade them to help the author of the original post sort fact from fiction.

Good idea. Will check and see if such a module is available for our bulletin board software.
