A "Vouch, GLWS!" rating.

[Whiskey]

These ratings should become a thing, it would clear a lot of shitposts.

We had a vouch rating before, it was abused, and didn't end well.
Name was changed to "Winner".

And no, there should not be a good luck with sell rating.
It would be just as meaningless as the post itself.
If you really want to encourage someone with a rating, give them an old fashion "Like", or "Creative" or "Interesting". You've got plenty of options.
I'd prefer the whole "GLWS" thing just die completely.

They're already against the rules.
Hopefully, after enough people have been warned, and these posts removed, it'll stop being so common place.

each time someone makes one of these, I nearly wet myself laughing, despite the fact you could not have known...
I spent my first half year on this website fighting to get rid of the nonsense that surrounded the 'vouch' rating then. Even after it was change to 'winner', people still misused it.
Only in the last half year has there truly been an absence of rating abuse for this specific rating.

As I go through every account thread made by a reputable member I see about 12 "GLWS!" posts.
I wish for it to die aswell!
I never knew it was against the rules as it is broken on every OG thread.

I want a vouch rating to clear shitposts.
This would discourage the activity of the hundreds of shitposters on the website.
good luck on your wet spot

Unfortunately, it would not discourage the shitposters. Instead, it would encourage random ratings, and make people farm them as much as possible so they can boast they're 'reputable'.

As for the GLWS posts, report them. It's a form of low-quality content, but it's an interpretation we've only started seriously enforcing recently.
