I see your point but if new people come here they should be under the default setting and see the most recent post. So the propaganda potential is kind of mute i think.

More frequent visitors probably already know who to ignore, i know i do.

If you want to read just your sides opinion you can set your stuff up that way like jen said.

Then you can switch it back to Ascending to see the other sides silly point of view. Thats when i do most of my negative rating. :)

You're correct.

But those that have limited time won't waste it using the "Net Rating, Ascending Order" ... and whichever side rates in packs will receive the larger viewership. Nice way to spread propaganda if your side operates in packs.

But I get what you're saying in regard to how I chose to view whats been rated even if the ratings are skewed by pack-mentality.
