He means the vet forums.
Uhm, what about reporting comments with the comment-vote system? Like how you can report builds for being troll builds, why not force people to comment and if their comment is either a troll comment or is later justified and the build is fixed, that vote is nullified with proper reporting a comment that is "outdated" or "troll"?

Super old vet that almost never goes on Mobafire anymore. Contact me in game @ SixSonatas and Mobafire chat (NA).
I think SixSonatas' idea is best. However, we should have 2 amendments...
1. We'd need more veterans
Vets would need to vote on lots of builds, we'd need more of them. Pretty simple. However, this would call for promoting people to veterans monthly, if not weekly.
2. We have a "call to action" button.
This would be the basic up-vote currently. There would also be a "don't bother/troll" button that would be the downvote. If a build gets a lot of up-votes, the veterans are alerted and they would make their respective upvotes/downvotes. This way the average person would have some leverage over which builds get looked at, and the veterans only have to sift through the builds which are getting a lot of attention themselves.
Now this poses a problem as well... What about veteran builds? They can't currently recommend each others' builds. Would they keep the standard voting procedure? That might be a handicap. Do they get their own ranking tier to mitigate this handicap? That might be too much of a bonus. This would eliminate voter competition, but then people promoting their builds might come to the forums, throw a bunch of ho*** in the threads around for a few weeks, get promoted to a veteran, and then have the same veteran advantage solely because they wanted to have a top-tier build, not because they were trying to be helpful. This would probably bring a lot of traffic to the forums, but who knows how much would be desirable.

This is the easy part, actually. There are plenty of people on the forums that could easily qualify for veteran status. However, I'm not sure if a bigger veteran base is the solution as MOBAFire should be more representative of the common user, so to speak

Like you? :P In reference to people who are veteran-worthy.
The problem with the common user is that the common user gets into a competitive mood, and fights with the downvote as their weapon of choice. We need people who truly care about the builds they vote on and this community in general. I feel like this would be more akin to an indirect election, where the true votes are put into the hands of the elite. We definitely don't have enough people to make a direct election really worthwhile.
We could possibly set up a system where people who express themselves get properly represented for a downvote. For example, "I don't like void staff. I think flat magic pen benefits you more because with an abyssal scepter, you can get decent flat MPen and have MR too." In that case, a veteran who may not even agree with this poster could say, "this person has adequately stated their opinion, they deserve to be represented with a down vote."
