The worst types of posters will be the worst offenders for this, if posters aren't going to reflect and absorb where they have been correct and incorrect, how is anyone going to improve as a poster?
Are we content as a community to have someone's loud-mouthed ignorance be equal to that of reserved and informed opinion? Is this calgaryflames.com or hfboards or is it a community with a higher standard?
Should I just take "where r u chris o'sullivan's" posts as being equal to Pierre Monster McGuire or Freeway or getbak?
In my opinion, why bother even having posts saved on the server if they aren't going to be reflected upon and used for historical context, why not just have every thread that falls off the main page automatically deleted?
This place would be a much better community if posters were more accountable to the posts they make. It's an effective way to populate your ignore list when you see the same ill-informed hysterics from the same ill-informed posters time after time.

You can populate your ignore list however you choose.
And I think ill-informed posters reveals themselves pretty easily.
But having a bunch of people pat themselves on the back because they are right, or combing through the archives to remind someone when they are wrong, adds little.
Do you think that the loud mouth ignorant opinions need to be surfaced even more than they are now?
