So you would like to read thousands of "well said", "great post" etc. posts? And this wouldn't help people to find interesting posts, something which a list of recommended posts of the week can do if people use wrecks responsibly.

If you goto recommended posts at ther minute you will find some great recommended posts to read! 😕
Enough said

I don't think anyone can accuse me of trying to be anonymous LMFAO.
As for poluting a thread with "Huzza's" and "Good show", i think that would dilute the actual arguments, and slow down debates. Not everyone is as vocal as you or me, and i think that to allow them to rec a post is a good thing.
Also Posts of exceptional subject matter, or a reall ...[text shortened]... ot been used for this purpose up until now is because there has been nowhere to view them.
The anti-social types here haven't received all their 1000 recs *just* since the Recommended posts page hasn't been available.
All who espouse the view that the rec system wasn't broken before the Recommended posts page went away for awhile have extremely poor memories. The Recommended posts page has never been full of "interesting, well-thought-out" posts. Never. The anti-social blatherings have always been a major part of it.

Please take your silly insecurities elsewhere. 😛
Originally posted by SuzianneI never said that the system was perfect before, or that it was not abused. If it had been so awesome, I wouldn't have had a reason to ask for a change (which I did long before the wreck list disappeared). But the wreck list was somewhat useful, and I believe it would have been even more useful if the total wreck number of a user hadn't been shown.

Originally posted by SuzianneMissuse isn't agood enough argument for deletion, the bee in your bonnet wont go away, and people will still act the same way if the rec system goes. You might aswell ask for the forums to be axed, because that is where these insults stemmed from, the rec system didn't create infantile a rseholes.

Originally posted by huckleberryhoundLet's stop this argument right now, and ask Russ exactly when did the Recommended posts page become unavailable?
Thats because the page has not been on view up until now. That argument holds no water bud.
It wasn't that long ago, man... even if a month is an eon on the internet.
(and just for the PFC types who want to dissemble by saying "it was down for longer than a month, stupied" or something equally facetious, *I KNOW* it was longer than a month. Maybe even longer than 6 months. But it hasn't even been a full year.)
The rec system blew even before the Recommended posts page was taken away.
Originally posted by SuzianneIt was available when i started, so it hasn't been down a year, that's for sure.
