Limited Recs

Sorry, I really can't see the problem.

I occasionally find recs helpful as a way of knowing that other people agreed with a thought, including when they agreed with one of mine. If I don't find them helpful, I ignore them.

I would much much rather have spurious recs around (and it's fairly obvious when they ARE spurious) then have whole waves of inane posts along the lines of "Yes" or "I agree". There's quite enough of them already, reducing or eliminating recs might make it worse.

[Oh, and Nyxie, don't sell yourself short. You write LOTS of good posts. I'm not sure that I've ever recommended you, but I know I actually make sure I READ something with your avatar next to it, not just skip over it.]

Getting kicks from receiving 'recs' shows a serious low level of self esteem.

If that's what it takes to make you happy, can I also suggest then I suggest you smoke mentol cigarettes to get high.

rec or no rec - whoever cares is sad really. Get a life!

I quite agree, a rec for you murrow!

Although I find it mildly amusing when people announce they are giving a rec and then don't.

Here's a brilliant idea...

What if you could DE-rec a post?! That would just be splendid.

Here's a thought:

Is it possible for Recommended Posts to have a list at the bottom indicating who recommended the post?

Great idea..

Would u actually believe i had the very same idea just yesterday but my joy was dashed from me when i saw you had already posted this..

Oh well, rec went your way for it anyway. maybe create a new site idea thread with this to get russ's attention.

This still seems to be an issue, with people stil making threads about recs in the general forum....
