How are you able to Unrecommend when you havent recommended in the first place?

[TheCoxwain]

Either call it something else ( like "thumbs down") or make "Unrecommend " available only to those who are have made a recommendation...

Basically you are using your voice to drown out someone else's

My take on it?
Why bother with either?:shrug:

6. it is a nice visual reflection that some posts are so bad everyone is unrecommending

even if some of their little henchmen are helping to falsely prop it up with recommendations. I love it.

10. Sorta like a different vote at the ballot box with only two candidates

3. I guess it's unrec because it removes a rec whether you posted it or not.

Sure is a lot of debate about this new feature.

Does this happen any time there is a change on here? Not flaming = just curious. It's not always easy to deal with change.

4. The same way 7-Up could be the Uncola without ever having been a cola.

Or the Antichrist never having been the Christ.

7. You're "unrecommending" ("undoing" another's recommendation).

I see your point, but people frequently "undo" the actions of others.

8. I think it is really meant to "decommend"

[johnnie]

11. I think..

There should be a recommend an unrecommend. But if you want to unrecommend a recommended unrecommend, there should be an option for that too. Then again, if you want to recommend an recommended unrecommended recommend, you can unrecommend the recommeneded unrecommendable recommend unrecommend.

There should also be an option for "meh" for if you don't really care either way. Then we can have a recommend the meh and an unrecommend the meh and a recommend a unrecommendable meh for a recommended recommend.

Just a thought....

12. Call it a preemptive strike.

13. It is tortured syntax, isn't it?
