This is cool! DU has turned into a big ass math equation!

[Deja Q]

0+6+114<0^3+9+14+29

Pity about "<0"... they ought to read "-2", "-20", or whatever... but the only thing people like to count on is being malicious anyway...

So <0 this thread too. :D

[Adsos Letter]

1. I unrec this op...as per your request...

:D

[lamp_shade]

2. K&U

[Bolo Boffin]

3. Has somebody pointed out

that <0 looks like a head with a dunce cap?

Or would that be a DUnce cap?

[zeemike]

9. Wow a new smiley...

K&R not that it matters much

[surrealAmerican]

13. I prefer to think of it as a party hat.

[EFerrari]

16. LOL

[Odin2005]

21. "DUnce cap" = a DUzy for you!!!

:rofl:

[Tan Gent]

4. I think -x is less than zero

for any positive value of x

:D

grr had to edit, the < sign went away
:shrug:

[BlooInBloo]

6. hahahahaa!

[BlooInBloo]

Quintessential Americanism: the math is too complicated, so ditch the feature...

Where "the math" refers to: (recs) - (unrecs) < 5

:rofl:


Thank goodness we're now able to keep this spam off the Greatest. And thank goodness that the spammers haven't been silenced, and we all get to talk about it nevertheless, if we choose.

5. How many OPs on this subject do you plan to post?

I've never put anyone on ignore, but if you're going to keep posting this stuff, I will make an exception.

We have plenty of threads on the subject already. Why not post in those?

[zeemike]

10. First they came for the greatest page.

And next for all pages....perhaps a vote on whether a topic has been covered too much and should be eliminated altogether.
How about if a topic gets 10 unrecommended it is deleated....would that satisfy you?

[BlooInBloo]

11. What an insult to Jewish folks, to liken the unrec feature to the Holocaust.

[zeemike]

17. Oh come on...please

Another straw man

[Ishoutandscream2]

7. God, I hate math

[LoZoccolo]

8. I think DU is one of the best online games EVAR. n/t

[Moochy]

19. Extremely Explanatory

[Turbineguy]

12. It actually goes like this:

14. I think you should have said "DU has turned into a big ass math inequality"

[BlooInBloo]

15. The poster is American.

[DrDan]

22. we have inequalities in American Math

[Moochy]

18. With a few missing variables

We know N but why don't we know about T, R or U?

[Odin2005]

20. This thread is full of win!

:D

[Tesha]

23. The raw data ought to be on display as well.

There's a big difference between a post that gets *NO ACTION AT ALL*
and a post that provoked 300 recommends and 300 disrecommends.
The first post obviously excited no passion at all while the second post
was seen a little differently.

Both sides of the equation should be shown.

Another useful piece of data would be if the recommend/disrecommend
history of each poster were public knowledge...

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

24. At first all the votes - rec or unrec were posted. I think if we keep this system, it should be

transparent.

[Better Believe It]

25. Why the "unrecommend" feature is undemocratic and constitutes censorship.

The number of posters who recommend a post vis a vis the number of posters who are trying to censor (remove) from the "greatest page" or at least put it farther down the page by reducing the number of recommends is a big secret!

DU'ers who recommend a post for "the greatest" are not trying to exclude, censor or remove a post from anywhere on DU.

Those who un-recommend are censoring by removing a post from "the greatest" page and at least move it farther down "the greatest page" in order to reduce the number of views.
