Prevent Freeptroll down recs by requiring 250 posts to rec/unrec.

[Union Yes]

I'm tired of seeing good posts get unrecced by trolls from that fascist website.

Any OP about any progressive issue gets hit by these asshats. I have nothing against DU'ers unreccing a thread they don't like.

1. Quit fuckin whinning about rec unrec. It's just a chat board!

[TahitiNut]

2. Nawww... it's Life, the Universe, and Everything.

:dunce: 42?

[MNDemNY]

3. seems as such, at times.

Sheesh.

4. Good luck with this. I got trashed for making a similar suggestion.

:popcorn:

[BlooInBloo]

5. (shrug) I just assume I'm automatically down 10 unrecs when I make OP.

[AllentownJake]

7. I reced you once

lol

[LynneSin]

9. I just assume that there are people who might not agree with what I have to say

it's pretty vapid for us to think that all DUers must think alike

[BlooInBloo]

12. That too.

[GoneOffShore]

21. You post - I'll rec.

[LynneSin]

6. Yes because god forbid it's not like democrats are allowed to disagree or something

:eyes:


btw UNREC for the wild assumption that all unrec threads MUST be the work of freepers

[JuniperLea]

10. Awesome!

I'm gonna unrec too... because LynneSin is oh, so very right about this!

[Union Yes]

14. Your repeating the last sentence of my OP.

[JuniperLea]

8. LOL

This reminds me of a local talk radio commercial in which some guy says: I hate internet message boards! I'm never coming back!

:rofl:

Oh man, I get all giggly when people take themselves and the 'Tubes so seriously.

[Myrina]

11. What?

Your headline sounds like NASA code or something ...

[EOTE]

13. Sounds good to me.

We need a certain level of posts to do just about everything else, why not rec/unrec? I can't find a fault with this suggestion. It certainly would give the trolls a lot less power here.

[Union Yes]

16. Thats exactly my point. I don't give two shits about the rec count of my own posts.

I expect many of my threads to go negative rec from the start. But I'm also seeing some very important threads by many other DU'ers get unrecd by trolls. Topics that I believe no DU'er would unrec.

[elocs]

15. So, all DUers must be in agreement at to what are "good" posts?

We live in an unfair and imperfect world and that also goes for DU also. Truly good and deserving posts here will rise to the top, just not with the great number of Recs they one received.

[Obamanaut]

17. If the OP is interesting (this OP is not), people will resond - some agree,

some not, others just have stuff to say. In any case, these responses keep the OP on the first page where more people will see it, etc...

If the goal is to get to the greatest page in order to get the extra money for that position...oh, unrec.

And look, this response shot the OP right back to the top of the first page. Neat, huh.

18. Earn your stripes first, soldier. n/t

[LNM]

19. My first Unrec

I don't use the Rec or Unrec but I really get tired of users complaining about users with low post counts. Obviously I don't post much either.

20. First rule of Whine Club, don't stop talking about Whine Club.
