They should be to actually recomend, not have 3 threads in the 1st page all about them.

actually, what is the value of a rec? why are they such a big deal?
It's not like anyone can trade them in for a free queen 🙄🙄
Originally posted by Saint NickA rec's value lies in the silent majority.If you Saint Nick post a good idea or are against a proposed idea,then those in the silent majority will use your post as a conduit to Russ & Chrismo.I f used properly it gives everyone a voice albeit someone elses.It is how I look at them anyway.This way even if people give rec's for silliness,they still hold a value in the serious issues.Mike

I thought "rec" stood for "recreationally inclined" and had to do with clandestine references to some "members only" chess swinger's club...Red Hot Pawn meets Sexy Black Queen and Well Endowed Knight for some three-dimensional chess-ercize and mating techniques...

Suppose each thread with a recommended post in it got just one entry in the Recommended threads page (with the latest rec'd post displayed). The user can then browse the thread to see all recommended posts. This should cut down the current scenario where Recommended posts over the last 7 days runs into 30 web pages!
Fundamentally, I think the recs idea is good and should stay - it's a nice way of identifying meaningful (atleast some) posts and for readers to express their appreciation without bloating the thread with "I agree" postings.
Well, I see that my post has made no impact on the needless recommending and the needless asking for these recs. There have already been at least two new threads that were made for the sole purpose of gaining recs. I now have 12 recs and 8 from one post. My first 4 were what i would call earned. I put a lot of thought into these posts. Since i haven't been posting much and rather just reading. I used to scan through the recommending posts, but now i see that this is useless because of some very silly posts that just asked for recs. Well, i guess that i'm gonna have to put up with this for a while, and hopefully it will get dull to everyone else, as well as me and stop it.
with thought,
