My point was that the forum wouldn't exist if everyone left, therefore the people here DO have some say in what goes on.

The display isn't real time you realize; someone can get the page, come back some time later and post a skill rating while in the interim you edited the post. It's impossible to do anything about that.

There's no way to remove skill or negative skill 5 seconds after it's given?

The intent isn't public humiliation, the intent is to provide feedback on the kinds of things that we want and don't want to see. It's done by humans so its subjective and opinons will vary a bit between one skill giver and another.

If the intent isn't public humiliation, then why is it a publicly visible reprimandation?

Those were things that were discussed at great length publically on the forum, and they have positives and negatives. And the one time you recommended a positive skill it did not go unnoticed.

If it didnt go unnoticed, it went unactivated. His skill was grey, and I don't remember him getting a red square out of it... unless my reasoning was simply not good enough for him to get it, or he got the skill days after i recommended it.

I was assuming that he makes money off the site because that is generally the purpose for having sites like this.
I've already addressed that:
