You MUST mean rec'd. What's your point?
I agree with you and I have stopped handing them out like a crack whore needing a fix.

Originally posted by Ice ColdI appreciate that, and apologize for my last response. I thought you meant something else.

Originally posted by PinkFloydA rec is a recommendation. They are only available to subscribers. When used properly, they can help people find interesting posts. See the "Recommended" link in the bar that has "Public Forums", "Thread List" etc.? That gets you to a list of posts that have been recommended during the last seven (I think) days. In the good old days, people could give out as many recs as they wanted (although not more than one per post, and you can't rec your own posts). While there was some rec abuse going on, I did find the Recommended list somewhat useful at that time; it helped me find some good posts/threads in Debates or Spirituality that I would otherwise have missed. Then a limit of 10 recs per 30 days was introduced, with the result that even really good posts often didn't get more than one or two recs, so that they didn't stand out among all the posts that some person who had a rec left had found somewhat funny. Now the limit has been changed to 30, so there's some hope that it will work better again after a while, but right now people are just excited about the new feature and rec all sorts of nonsense.
I know that some people are doing the usual sarcasm bit, but honestly, what "rec" and how am I to "use it"?

I paid my sub and I got 30 rec's.
I'll do with them what I want, when I want and how I want.
My grandfather fought in WWII so I would get those recs.
My Great grandmother chained herself to a railing in 1910 so
I would get those recs.
And what about Magna Carta. Did she die in vain?
No Sir. She perished so I would get my rec's and no stuffed shirt
stick in the mud kill-joy is going stop me throwing my rec's around
like confetti at a junkies wedding....wheeeee!
Right. I'm now off to other fourms and rec at random.
