I've seen those before. They're usually placed on the bottom of the posts. That voting system would seem like a better option than having this one. This specific one though, I haven't seen anywhere. The option to give a negative vote to a helpful post doesn't make sense. If it isn't helpful then it should be kept as is. It'd be a rough task to give out a negative vote to every post in a forum that isn't helpul. Not everything in a forum is about helping.

Thanks for the +1, but it seems that someone subtracted it lol.

That's a valid point. Why are the buttons randomly placed throughout the forum? Sections that shouldn't have them do and sections that should have them don't, like the "OUYA Unofficial Support - Issues & Problems" section. I was looking at it yesterday and that seems like the place that should have a voting system.
