Unrecommend has restored DU. I wish all the other threads in important |
|
forums could be ordered by recs as well so that those <0 threads go where they belong--to the back of the line.

2. Just cuz a thread has high rec doesn't mean it is important. |

3. I think it's best to judge a thread on its content rather than its rating. |
|
Edited on Mon Jul-13-09 11:14 AM by BurtWorm
Same as any other criterion. I don't dismiss a thread because it's earned a <0. Nor do I immediately assume that a high rating means I'm going to actually get something out of a thread. It's a mistake to give other readers control over your own judgment.
People make too much of the ratings system. It's not intended to make your choices for you. It has totally different objectives in mind--mainly, using the people who populate and participate in DU forum's knowledge of them to publicize what's in them.

4. This new system should ensure that the cream, the truly greatest threads rise to the top. |
|
They will simply not have as high a Rec total as before. It is kind of sad that so many DUers are so caught up in how many Recs a thead gets.

7. If you view the forum as a list, the rec count is shown so you can pick and choose |
|
That said, I prefer the time ordered list. I don't want members with an itchy mouse finger determining what gets visibility.

11. Yeah, that would be great, too. |
|
I'd settle for sending the crappy threads to the forums they should be in, like threads about pets, or threads about Christians who think they're persecuted, or threads about wacko Jacko.

17. Those are all TOPICS for the TOPIC forums. |
|
If you pay any attention at all, you know that many such threads are daily locked on GD and moved to a Topic forum. I don't do that. The mods do. They're not following my orders. They're following Skinner's orders.
Stop acting as if my comment referred to something not already done here.
If you'll quit trying to play the martyr or mischaracterize your opponents, you might garner some respect.

18. Frankly I don't need or want your respect. |
|
I did not come here for respect.
And if Skinner wants a new business model so be it. But the reasons I came and stayed so long are slowly fading away...perhaps DU is leaving me, and that is OK too...I have no emotional investment in being here. And if you are happy with free speech zones that is good too....DU does not need my permission to become centrist.

21. A lot of those who love UnRecking others, don't appear to constructively contribute OPs much at all |
|
Edited on Mon Jul-13-09 05:19 PM by omega minimo
and apparently are unwilling or unable to make their opinions and concerns know in an open manner by posting in the threads.......
"Restored DU" or encouraged passive/aggressives?
IMHO it's the aggressive/aggressives who discourage more of our 142,000+ members from posting at all. Many of those folks were the most vocal and jubilant on announcement UnRecker button, giving them the illusion of control over others.
Creepy!
