I've never done this.

I think it might be best to simply drop the rec number as part of a player's statistics. As I see it, the purpose of recs is to make it easier to find interesting posts. You rec a post, not the poster (or at least that's how it should be). If you couldn't see how many recs a person has, maybe people would stop to focus so much on this, to have competitions about it, or to rec people instead of posts.
On the other hand, I love nice numbers (hey, I just got a palyndromic rec number again! ). If the wreck count were dropped, maybe every player should be assigned a random number which changes every three days or so. Then we could talk about how nice, high, interesting etc. those random numbers are. 😉

I wouldn't call him a genius. Nor the one responsible.

Indeed I have one but what does this have to do with my post?

However it sounds a bit hypocritical said by you: I'm not the one spending his time writing issues about hanging balls,hemorroids,bodily fluids and such great things.

Nor I spend my time eating hash balls because I can't smoke them.

I bet I have a social life better than yours,nor that I think you have one.

No, not the recs, only the rec count. Maybe you can find out what they are really meant to be then. 🙂

I still like the "sucks" idea someone had, whereby you could award a suc in place of a rec [like a negative rec, I guess]
Then the poster's 'count' could go up and down.

That's not a rec, that's an innuendo.

[EDIT] Having said that, I think there should be a posts per recs ratio, which would give an indication without promoting spamming the forums, like the total posts did.

Some people have gotten recs by either subscribing again and giving themselves hundreds of recs (sad), or having some sad case spend hours in 1 night going through the posts, reccing them all (sadder). Examples of these are katty or bowmann.
So, according to Rancorsak, people are willing to fork over $35 US, just for the chance of giving one of their other accounts' posts a single rec? You sound like you should belong to a secret cabal clan or something.

Wait, maybe not.
Okay, it's better than wanting to be skeeter's love kitty, but never getting close to the, uh, hmmm.
