6. Yes. Because zero recs is quite adequate as a measure of unpopularity. No need for more. |
|
It was hurtful and distracted from the discussion.

11. Even Rec distracts from discussion. We do have posters who are Rec whores. |
|
Like, "Rec this if you like Obama". Or we do have the DU names who could just start a thread saying "Hi!" and other DUers would fall all over themselves to Rec the OP.
The most valuable thing anyone can do for a thread and to keep it read and visible is to kick it by responding.

20. I'm glad the administrators didn't go through with their other idea, "negative kicks"... |
|
That would have gone over about as well as the 5-color rating system.
"skip it"
:P

21. The 5 color rating system hurt my eyes. |
|
This I can live with. But I kind of miss being able to make a thread go into negative territory. }(

8. You're right. I couldn't get yours below zero. I'm guessing it's because |
|
so many people pissed and moaned about their posts getting negative recs. No negativity now, so there should be no whining, right? Sounds logical to me.

10. At least it has cut down on some of the |
|
bitching about the unrecommend system. I like the change since I felt few threads actually deserved negative ratings. Zero is fine.

13. A bunch of douchebags whined about it. |
|
And they started setting up hypocritical organized unrec parties to unrec everything they came across. So they basically abused the system until its real purpose was defeated at which point the admins decided to concede to the wishes of the douchebags.
This actually happened.

16. Now you've gone and done it |
|
the douchbags in question are going to come down on your misogynistic use of a term that can only be used by those requiring the medical treatment of said douchbag.

22. Took all of the fun out of it, didn't it? |
|
I was always fine not to engage in a flame war as long as I could unrec the OP.
Now I'm left just shouting "BOOOOO!" out loud to my monitor. :)

23. But, you can still pretty much assume that |
|
"0" essentially equals "<0", even if it makes the bruised egos feel better not to see that soul-destroying "<" symbol there.
