When a post is on the first page of recommended posts list, I think it would be useful if one was able to see who it was recommended by.
This would, among other things, have the effect of deterring indiscriminate recommendations which seems to be a major problem on this site.

I don't think anyone reads the Site Ideas forum much, do they?

Apart from a few of us regulars down there. 🙂

Ok then, if we're going to list the reccers, then we should get our counters, and recs back 😛

If everyone knew where the recs were coming from, there would probably be no reason to not have the totals thingy, I guess.

I don't think anyone will ever get their old recs back - but a new start would be good wouldn't it?

No, because i personally don't think the rec page was up long enough before it was changed.

I have said this several times, and it is the reason for any future stance on this matter. Any abuse of the rec system post-rec page return day, was a self fulfilling prophecy dreamed up by fools with nothing else to do. . .fools, might i add, who haven't contributed anything by way of alternative forum matter since the change took place.

If Russ had to make the change, it was because a group of spoiled brats wouldn't let things progress at its own pace, and felt the need to flood the forum until something was done, causing the eventual arguments. Now the changes are in place, and the arguments have subsided, these brats have proved themselves to be One trick ponies, with nothing whatsoever productive to bring to the forum.

Aren't you talking out your exit hole as usual before giving a chance for things to develop. I say quit acting like a spoiled child crying in your weetabix and get off your high horse. There are plenty of things that can and should be brought to the forums. But they won't be done until you stop your whining and finger pointing. There are better things to do than mouth off and click on rec buttons. How about playing some chess.

That is exactly what i do do numbnuts. I also disagree with the way things went, but that's not allowed in your book, is it ? You have to verbally abuse anyone who disagrees with you.

You're not even very good at it.


Get used to the idea that you are acting like a fool mate, it will come up a few times in the future, of that i'm sure.

Would you like me to point out posts of yours where you have said abusive things to others. I am sure you are plenty guilty of abusing anyone who disagrees with you. I have heard it plenty. I have heard it until I am sick of it. I bet I can get good at it. Want me to call you names with every post? Like you do?

i never received many recs at all, due to the lack of appreciation of my wit, but somehow, I miss them.

Sorry mate, but i knew you were going to bring that one up.
Royal chicken started attacking me for no reason, which you would see if you looked hard enough. I PM'd him to ask why, and he told me to play along, so you see, that was all for the cameras. The first page or so of that thread, i made no insults whatsoever, but RC did, did you see that, or did you blank that part out ?

I'll add a link to the page if you want, and you can read it.

Thread 53373

You , on the other hand, have been steadily attacking me since you became a sub, and think you can get away with it by saying "i was only kiddin". Just because i don't agree with you, doesn't give you license to do what you want.
