What sort of people have an abbreviation for something that means nothing, or does it mean something and I know nothing, or is it the point that it means nothing, is nothing and at the same time is nothing worth something?

The mechanism is useful for diplomacy by osmosis and uncool bouts of emotional blackmail and alliance-building that would be laughed off in a second in the real world or a non-point-based invision forum: for example, when you're feeling pathetically lonely and isolated you can laugh disingenuously and say, "That gets my rec, BashtheBishop, so will you be my friend?"

if you rec a post you're recommending it to others and it goes on a list with the other recced posts of the past week. (on the top right hand side on all the forums, under the seiges and clan buttons) the more rec's a post has, the higher in the list it goes!
well-that's the idea. as people say, emotial blackmail etc is the norm...
