I know a rhetorics teacher at my uni who will marvel at this idea! Seriously, for practical rhetoric teachers this site will provide a good segway into the rhetorics of excuses and to a lesser extent ethics.
i actually noticed a lot of people downvoting "excuses" and decided to switch the positions of the vote up and down buttons. Previously, the vote up was on the left and down on the right. I'm curious to see if the votes will now swing the other way ;)
This is not the sort of thing that helps the Remote working movement in the slightest. If anything it reinforces the negative connotations management types already have about remote working.
Edit: Looks like I'm down to -1 now. I think either bots are randomly pressing buttons, your voting is rigged (or ran()dom) or my suggestion just sucked :)
Giving visitors a vote button will shake your faith in the internet. Giving unregistered visitors a text field that doesn't require approval before being listed, that's just downright dangerous! :P
it actually requires approval before it is shown to others ;) making it seem like it was listed when u submit it is a "feel good" thing. of course, if users figure out the quoteid of the specific submission, it is still publicly available. its all in the name of fun :)
