Relying on a numerical majority to get posts/posters recognized is never a good idea. More often than not you'll find just as much good, solid information rated down into oblivion as bad posts; E.g, Frost's Haste guide thread. Conversely, you'll also find really really bad posts rated up, mostly because people are dumb; E.g, pretty much every new job thread in General, the "Change the Abyssea level entry" threads, etc.
