The Rec system as it stands is bogus. Any person can issue untold amounts of recs for any piece of drivel that suits their fancy.
I call for Rec rationing. You get 100 Recs each subscription period to spend anyway your fuzzy little blood-pumper desires. You spend 'em all, you have to wait 'til you renew at rhp for 100 more.
Let's face it, if you only had so many to spend, the quality of the rec increases by a wide margin. As it stands now, we're in a period of deep Rec inflation, which I call The Rectumnium.
What say you?

Besides, shouldn't this be in the debates forum? 🙂

Originally posted by eagles54I dunno. I think the whole rec thing is kind of masturbatory anyway to be quiet honest. I really don't write to get recs and I give them occasionally to stuff that is worthwhile. Sometimes I surf the Recommended just to read it but if somebody just gets excited by the number of recs they get then knock themselves out.

Originally posted by eagles54If, and thats a big IF, there were going to be rec rations introduced, it should be counted on a daily basis, rather than yearly. It would be much easier to do your rationing on a daily basis that yearly.

Aprapos vis a vis allegorically speaking ignorance is bliss, therefore you shouldn't read anything, life is but a dream, and chicks dig scars.
I never read the Recommended Posts forum, just each thread on merit.
I suppose that's why it was set up, rather that a popularity contest.

Originally posted by ark13Not only caught you on it, but with my timetravel spell, I was able to reintroduce your post back into the thread for eternity.
Actually, I just realized you can't rec yourself. So that's why I have that other post. I thought you could I changed it quickly, hoping no one would notice, but Ragnorak caught me on it.

What I don't understand is these people with 400+ recs. How much time do you have to spend posting for that? Or is the rumour true that some clan members routinely rec each other? Or are they just bloody interesting/provacative posters? I've probably posted about 40 times and only got two recs 😕

Originally posted by mosquitorespectThat's part of the debate. I'd say some people are worthy of their many recs. But yes it seems the "clicks" rec each other.
