One thing we can all be thankful for here in the BO group

We don't have to read the complaints and all the pissing and moaning about the un-rec feature and how terrible it is. :woohoo:

1. So true. And I like that it smells so fresh and natural...
GD smells like butt most days.

3. Well, in another thread, some dude in the Pacific Northwest has been posting my phone number...
...in bathroom stalls in correctional facilities.

In crayon.

'nuff said.

4. Funny, I've only ever tried to rec threads in this forum
:D

Best feature of this forum is that recs/unrecs don't work - the system has become about personality conflicts and has very little to do with quality content any more. I think a solution involving some sort of limitations on the rec/unrec feature is in the works.

8. I hope I don't get tombed for this but...
when I knew it was time to think about leaving the forums at GD and GDP was when the Obama hate threads were getting rec numbers in the hundreds. That was just to much for me to fathom. :eyes:

9. I would really like to see the rec feature become a donor perk
it would eliminate sock puppets and freepers with DU acounts from gaming the system.

10. This is one of the
best ideas I've heard in a long time!

Why should freeps and trolls be able to sign up by the score just to rec or unrec? It makes so much more sense for people who are actually supportive of the site to be the ones to decide what threads make it to the front page. Not a bunch of casual troublemakers.

17. OK I emailed Skinner and EarlG the suggestion
I really see it as a win/win. They can increase their donations plus reduce the gaming of their rec system.

16. Yes, I think we've all seen the evidence
that good news for Dems and Pres Obama are kneejerked unrec immediately after being posted.

Anybody can come in those forums and game that system.
