I just check my profile for the first time since register and noticed I got a crapload of purged posts.
Now I know a lot of my posts are spam, but a bunch of them are valid ones that shouldn't offend anyone.
Post rating should be removed and replaced with a report spam feature which would then be reviewed by a site moderator.

The system is fine. Your posts obviously aren't.

You do realize that the commenting system on items, quests etc are made exactly to weed out unneeded and irrelevant posts, right? If you don't want your posts purged I suggest you start making posts with some content other than "Man this chick was crazy at 60, now anyone and their grandma can solo her." (

). If you absolutely want to make posts on this site I suggest you first and foremost start to formulate yourself differently.
Example: (replace "blah" with actual factual information)
Fairly easy fight. This NPC used to be a tough one at level 60, but now she's pretty much soloable. Her abilities include:
- Blah blah
- Blah blah blah
You absolutely need a healer though, she still packs a punch.
It's not needed to remove this feature and add a "report spam" feature. Anything that people find irrelevant or out of line gets rated down and eventually purged. The system sustains itself via the users and as such we have the good - and the bad users.

Moved to Site Feedback.
Post rating is not just there to prevent spam, though that's one of its more helpful features. Post rating is a functionality that we at Wowhead use to allow the users to determine what sort of comments they want to see. They're not just used to remove offensive content either--they're also used to streamline the page content so that only the most helpful things are there. Part of what makes Wowhead different from other sites is that a comment has to be
really good
or else it gets purged, so only the
really good
comments are up on the page.
Getting your comments purged is no reason to be offended. And besides, the amount of comments that get rated in a given day would overwhelm our moderators even if we quadrupled our staff. :P

One of my recent comments on things that I believe are helpful... such as correcting coordinates or something being given a negative rating.

Actually, I feel that this example is a very poor one. Sure, you corrected invalid information (and cookie points for making it a link) but the second paragraph regarding your attention deficiency with the adds was completely pointless.
Personally, I'd mod that remark negatively as well.
Then I think you're a bit harsh, not to mention unhelpful.
Modding down a perfectly good comment just because it has *some* excess information in it? And that's not even excess, it gives people something to be aware of while doing the quest.
