I don't get it.
Who are you recommending it to then??

I would also hope that Russ would let us Name our new type of Recs for each clan. My clan would call them Brucks. These would be given out when a member CrUsHeS another member with a mind blowing insult that cuts deep to the heart of the poster.
A lot like the old recs seemed to work. Insult someone well enough and people give you a rec. I'm glad to see it doesn't work that way anymore.

Other members of the clan, clearly.

It seems you are incapable of reading my posts properly. Go back and read my first post on the subject... ...Actually, let me save you a click - I said "How about a private forum only recommended list?"
ie: A recommended list for that clan (available by a link in the private forum area) that shows only messages from your private forum that have been recommended by other private forum members.
In a private forum as active as mine, with 120+ threads, it would offer a way to highlight excellent posts within the private forum and bring them to the attention of the other private forum users.
Does that make my point clearer?

Unlikely to happen I would think or there would be gawd knows how many separate lists. 😞
