What do "Recs" do ?

DURecs? If I recommend something does the person get points or something? Does the thread float to the top or... like what's the point of recs?

Sorry. That probably seems like an ignorant question but I simply must know.

The lingo can sure be confusing! Anytime you have a question, this is the place to ask it. And once you've done 10 posts, you'll be able to start your own thread.

Have fun!
