Gamedev Statistics | GameDev.net

Why do we only have statistics for things that are at the top. Why don't we have the worst rating or the stupidest post ever. One of the reasons I come here is to read posts in the lounge that are funny. I am trying to go through posts that people have made and see if there are any good ones. There is this one post where my friend was asking a question and the guy replied like this

Quote:
"DUH handle all the standard messages to be handled in the base class".

And then he said

Quote:
"If you insist on saying "DUH", try to make a post that makes a little more sense"

I don't know maybe I should be on the list for stupidest posts ever or maybe they want to make it a freindly place here and not exploit people for their inadequacies.

I feel like I helped make a game about this.

But seriously, some of the best and worst threads are in the game...
The numbers are the amount that your ingame rating are affected by (times 10 or 100, I think).

Just for kicks, some of the sigs I've seen:
