Since the rec system was changed, the site is completely the same. So who cares?
The issue for me is that the old recommended post list tended to have
lots of posts worth reading. I didn't like them all, to be sure, but at
least there were, say, five or six on the first page and another few on
the second page that had something interesting. It drew my attention
to those threads and allowed me to participate.
Of course there were always the few 'lolz' and 'u suk d00d' that got one
or two recs from friends, but they were stuck on page five or six which
I never bothered to read. Now, because fewer people are bothering to
use recs altogether, they're on the first page and many posts which
ought to be recced aren't getting it for whatever reason.
This is not 'completely the same,' and it astounds me that you could say
that with a straight face.
And, if you are so blithely unaffected by the change in system, then what
difference does it make to you if it gets changed back? If you can't notice
a difference, but a bunch of people can, then why do you seemingly
oppose it?
Lastly, do you or Red Night really believe that greater or fewer than 2.5
posts a week are worth reccing? Personally, I think it's greater. I often
want to rec things and I'm simply unable to do so (having used up my
monthly quota) or I'm gunshy, fearful of not being able to recommend
another post later.
So, what do you think, Darvlay? Do you really think that 2.5 posts a week
is a reasonable number?
