Hey Skinner...about the rec/unrec thingy

[Horse with no Name]

Why not just give everyone a random number of rec's/unrec's per week or per month?
That way, they wouldn't potentially be used indiscriminately.
Kind of like the post limits during the primaries.

Just a thought.

1. I think that's a great idea

Then people will use their recs/unrecs more judiciously.


Similar to the scoring system on slashdot.org, which works VERY well.

2. I support this idea

...and gave it a '+' :)

3. while i care little about this

this IS a good idea, IMHO

4. Interesting idea. Very constructive attempt to fix things

I'd still rather see complete dismantling of the recommend system, but this could be an effective measure.

5. Are you sure you mean "random"? Why random? Why not a fixed number?

6. Well any random number that they happen to pull out of their ass

50 per week, 50 per month, 3 per day...whatever would be deemed fair.

7. I see. In that case, I suggested that 15 minutes before you did.

8. Then there should be a limit to the number of threads a DUer can start each day.

Just a thought.
