I'm sure there is a way to get rid of ratings, and think it should also be done. I also think there should/could be a way to find out who is dorating threads. I think a suspension or a complete expulsion from pet talk might make them think twice about doing it for sh!ts and giggles again. It seems as though some, not all, just some of the youngest crowd is ruining a lot of the whole meaning of pet talk. I think they need to move on to their own little chat rooms and talk amoungst people of their own age and mentality.
