I'd love to rec this post fifty times.

How do you make that one out? You can only rec a post once, and there are only 19 other members who can do it, so 50 (or more) isn't achieveable.

Then maybe Russ should allow for private forum reccing.

We changed the name. Now I can act like an asss.

The only post rec'd in this thread is yours and from a screaming pig.
Also the only people complaining about this idea are you and a few pigs who are born for the grill. 😛

Good point, but that does not make the idea any less of a blatant abuse of the rec system.

But whatever, they can do as they please, I guess.

Recs would be EVEN MORE pointless if they were done in the private forums - who would you be recommending them to?

Maybe he should, maybe he can't, maybe he will.

But still, even if expressive is right that one cannot rec a post more than once, it will mean that such threads would be continuously bumped up the forum because people would be posting just to be recced.

I'm not a sub and never was, even if I've been here a long time so it's not up to me to suggest extra-work for Russ, but I really think you could ask for recs in the private forums in the Site Ideas, not cluttering non-private forums. I'm sure such an idea could even be greeted with enthusiasm by other subs.

Edit: Such crappy grammar deserves to be incinerated by grammar nazis, so I'll leave it like that.

My post was recced for what was written in it. That's the difference.

I've often thought Russ should set up a rec/suck system for the private forums where you can rec or say a post sucks. Clan leaders should also be able to pick the name of these 'brownie points' so they show up over each post if a user decides a post is 'good or bad'.

They would have little to do with rec's in the public forums.... this feature could be turned on or left off depending what a clan leader wants for their clan. They could opt to use the rec, but not the suck if they so desire.

P-
