This will only really add value to the site if everyones Rec counters are reset to Zero - otherwise Rec totals per user remain meaningless as a measure of their meaningful contribution to the forums.

Only now, with recs at a premium, only the nastiest and meanest posts will get recced, giving even more incentive to be even nastier and meaner than before.
Maybe now, though, those with the most recs will be ostracized and held up as the meanest and nastiest posters.
Hmmm, no way, they'll still be seen as heroes. 😞
I only hope I'm wrong.

Did anyone ever see anyone as a hero because of their wreck number?
Edit: Hmmm, looking over my post, I see where I could give the impression I thought this. Bad composition on my part.
