You can click on the Recommended link next to someone's post if you like it.
People on the forum are crazy for Recs or Wrecks. They will often do or say anything if they think it will get them a Wreck.
Some people think that's one of the problems with the General Forum, people Wreck-Hunting.

if your on the forums, at the top right of your page (under sieges) there is a button saying "recommended". this shows the top rec'ed post of the past week 🙂
EDIT: red night, i've a good friend who left these forums when recs were introduced...he was/is against them 🙂

By now I think most people know that I believe the Recs cause more trouble than they are worth. There is really know way to go and look up recommended posts, so all they are is a way to keep score in a never-ending flame throwing contest.

You jhave one wreck. You got it for this post: (?)
ignore this 🙁
I think I gave it to you because I was confused and thought you were referencing the post above yours.
sorry. ahem. if you want to find which posts of yours have been rec'ed you can either go to your profile and click on "mattwyrick's forums posts" and all yours posts will be there. trawl through all of them to find your latest rec'ed post. or you can click on "search forums" then enter your name. remember to change the dates as it is set to search from yesterday backwards as opposed to today backwards. hope that vaguely makes sense...
Originally posted by StarrmanI have always been against the rec-system and the head-hunting mentality it promotes.

Just because I've tried to use the wrecked-system to make my points doesn't make me a hypocrite.
Would you call Rosa Parks a hypocrite because she rode on the bus?
