Some posters enjoy getting recs.
If someone has put alot of effort into a story etc (shavi springs to mind here), wouldn't a positive comment be of more value to them ?
Ignore if i'm rambling !!! 😀

Not everyone can come up with a creative comment though. It might go like this:
I totally agree.
I like that post.

Wouldn't you get tired of these posts after a while?
To me, this seems much worse than a number of recs.

i can push the rec button, ....
the can i write a reply so you push the button?
not so easy.
recs are like making love ... they take two.
do not underestimate this ... it is pretty good.
I like recs. I think they are a valuable part of the forum community. I do agree however that something needs to be done to make them more valuable, but I wouldn't be for a 2 rec per day limit, as I think that is too few, and too constrained.
I'd like to see a weekly limit, with all non-used recs carrying forward to your next week. That way, recs would be worth something again, and people who don't give out recs willy-nilly aren't being prevented from going rec mad, when there is a day/week where they want to give a lot of recs, due to high quality of posts.

The idea of 2 recs a day and not 30(e.g.) a week is to prevent Willy-Nilly from doing this:
Wait two weeks and give Katty 60 recs. This can still be a problem if the recs can be carried forward.
This is what you call abuse the rec button and 2 a day would prevent it.
You would just have to rec the posts with VERY high quality.
What about 3 recs a day?😉

what happens if you only log onto the site once every 2 weeks and read all the forums and there's seventeen brilliant things you want to rec?
