What a great idea bambee! Hey, everyone, let's thank bambee for the great idea. πŸ˜› *carries bambee away on our backs while dfm65 is left behind*

I think we should get rid of recs or adopt a weekly limit. They have become meaningless, and they are of different value to the different people that give them out. A weekly limit would establish a certain som ...[text shortened]... c. It's like we're a country that keeps printing currency, so the currency becomes worthless.
lol, My post was meant to just agree with the first. Not look like it was my idea. Sorry for not making myself clear.:'(

I know, I was just kidding, because you repeated his idea. It's like when the paint brush told the cow to happy, it's not how you think, but what you run.

It's not the cold, but the life. However, you can be shackled and free within this world, or come to belief of non-existence. The recs made me realise like a squirrel on the freeway. It just is worth it if you know how it' done.

BTW, get well soon. πŸ˜‰

Recs were useless the day someone got 40 for running a 'poll'... and just as useless when users get recs for personally abusing other RHP users.

Not to mention recs given to users who claim 'good people' burn in hell.

Heck, it used to bug the crap out of me when I'd write an ok post... and someone would say 'Good post, I agree'....

and they'd get 7 to 9 recs for just agreeing!?

WT*!

Last time this came up, my idea was this. Total number of recs OVER number of people who have rec'd you. So, lets say you have 65 recs from 2 users... chances are your recs mean nothing.

If you have 120 recs from about 50 or more users... that means your recs are worth 'something' to several users at RHP. I'd love to know how many different users have rec'd my posts.... I also think most of them are for me saying something funny, but a few have been for either good ideas... or honest upfront info on a subject.

That was a pure accident, and you know it. I even sent you a decent apology. I was trying to remove the cuss words from the general forum and put them in debates where they belonged.

I'm sorry that this action has caused you great greif, and it breaks my heart to see you on the floor whimpering like a little wussy. If it makes you feel better, you may continue to delete posts that I make that contain the same words as other's posts who do not get deleted.

Recs are just opinions, depends on the mood of the reccer, amount of alcohol consumed etc.
If some naughty person is reccing just for the heck of it, or to undermine the "credibility" of the rec system, then that person should be hunted down and shot. OK, pie-ed.

this reminds me of that Simpson's episode spoofing Cape Fear. inside a cinema, Sideshow Bob is threatening Bart.

Marge: you leave Bart alone!
SB: oh, i'll leave him alone all right! I'll leave him alone - FOREVER! No wait, that's no good. i've got a better one. Marge, say 'leave Bart alone' again.
Marge: no!
SB: grrrr
