What we have now is a state where recommendations are more valuable than they ever were. I still believe that this cancerous group will try to abuse the system by reccing each other's posts but it will be a lot less effective now that they're limited and hopelessly outnumbered by a community that appreciates a system that has worked well for years.
I miss my recs :'( I really think we let the rec haters beat us, this is close to what they wanted and they got it. This could be the beginning of a civil war

Oh, lighten up. This whole saga's been a joke from start to finish.
Anyone who believes doing anything to the rec system will seriously affect the quality of the posts on these boards is sadly mistaken.
Touché!
Anyway, I never thought the idea was improving the quality of the posts, but to better signal the posts that have, indeed, quality.
Of course, popularity does not equate with quality.
