griffgibusSaltysally1I wish we could still see downfrags on threads man. Worst change ever.you can sort threads by "top" under a certain timeframe to see where a thread falls between known minus frag quantities (dumpstered threads).

for example, if we sort by "top" over the last month and go to page 8, we see that this thread falls between "rate my racism" by griff (-20) and "an very important question" by griff (-23). therefore this thread has a rating between -20 and -23.
but wait! we can narrow this down even further by using our own vote to manipulate things. by downfragging "rate my racism" it achieves a downfrag total of -21, and if we reload the page, this thread is now ranked higher than "rate my racism." therefore this thread must have -20 downfrags at the time of writing (through some unthorough testing i found that if a thread is updated to receive the same number of downfrags as another thread, it will not move in the rankings, ruling out the possibility of this thread having a rating of -21)
