Who would you give a gong to - or elevate to the House of RHP Lords - and for what services to the RHP community?

I would award Drewnogal 'The Order of the Garden' for her green fingers and frequent mention of her plants and soil that keeps the community grounded in her Welsh flowerbeds.

All wooly thinkers would get The Order of the Woolsack.

I would award Ponderable with The Ombudsman of the Empire medal for his many self-sacrificial attempts to combat insidious thread drift.

I would elevate divegeester to the House of RHP Lords so that he would have a less direct role in the passage of Thumbs Reform currently struggling in the RHP House of Commons.

“Lord divegeester”

I think a lower case “L” though

There would be precisely zero (active) second accounts if the the thumbing and voting functions were available to subscribers only.

I made a suggestion for this in site ideas Thread 196081 and it has become the longest running thread in that forum’s history with ALL of the histrionic shrill of objections coming from members of The Ghost Chamber. Now why would that be I wonder….

You wouldn’t believe how much abuse I’ve taken from people who allegedly don’t care about “thumbs” and are mostly subscribers so the proposed change wouldn’t impact them anyway…. Well not their MAIN accounts 😂

It is an amusing read imo.

PS our resident Mistress of Paranoia said the idea was a akin to “Stalinism”. A moment of RHP Forum Gold which should be printed off and hung on the office wall at the Newbury HQ.

Blimey, 12 thumbs down for the OP. (I note Suzianne's first post, obliterating your position, got 10 green thumbs).

Yes, and six objectors posting.

Curious.

Easily done. One just has to push a few buttons, apparently.

As a trained historian, I am duty bound to point out that Stalinism was sustained by a regime of anonymous "tip offs" and condemnations rather akin to the regime of anonymous thumbs, albeit with graver consequences. So, I think Suzianne's "Stalinism" analogy is a dud.

I will confer an Earldom on Indonesia Phil for his Services To International Relations having seen evidence that he charmed four machete-wielding brothers in a dispute over land and ensured that the Union Jack continued to flutter over a corner of Sulawesi. Earl Phil of Manado, arise.
