Whatever happens with Unrec, could we get the ugly PLUS signs off the Greatest Page?

[jgraz]

Most of us who passed 6th-grade math know that "30 votes" equals "+30 votes".

1. Shall we call the Waaaahhhhhhhhmbulance for you? You seem to

be having major problems.

[jgraz]

3. It's a simple aesthetic comment. Please unbunch your panties.

[obliviously]

6. That is so uncomfortable and now they are all brown

dam!

[kestrel91316]

8. I'm definitely not the one whose panties are in a bunch, lol. Look

in the mirror for that. Your posts whining about "unrec" are pitiful.

[jgraz]

10. This is my only OP about UNREC

Are those panties perhaps over your eyes?

[kestrel91316]

23. Perhaps your only OP on the topic, but your hundredth whine.

[jgraz]

24. Once again, wrong. You're really making a habit of this

And making yourself look quite the creepy little stalker in the process.

2. (shrug) I mentioned in Skinner's original thread that if they're not going to display neg unrecs....

Then the + sign for postively rec'd threads served no purpose.

[jgraz]

14. It's admittedly a small nit, but it's also an easy fix

And it would make the Greatest Page look a lot less 2003-ish.

[sandnsea]

4. Seriously?

This is seriously something that bothers you? Tell me your post is sarcasm.

[OregonBlue]

5. Actually, I also find it distracting and redundant.

[sandnsea]

11. And anal-retentive?

Some people are. I am constantly amazed at the extent. Never gave that little + sign a first thought, let alone a second thought. Oh well.

:shrug:

[jgraz]

9. You're right. Especially since all of your posts have dealt with profound, universe-shaking ideas

Now THAT was sarcasm.

[sandnsea]

13. Not really the point

But clearly that little + sign is of much more concern than I ever could have imagined.

Carry on. I'm going to yard sales anyway. Will see if the + sign is the next big DU dust-up when I get back.

[jgraz]

15. I didn't realize you had a point.

Aside from just venting random hostility at a throwaway post.

[reflection]

7. Someone's always got to complain about something.

Now it's ugly plus signs... how trivial.

[jgraz]

12. What's the minimum threshold of profundity necessary before a DU post is permitted?

Were you HERE for Michael Jackson week?

[reflection]

16. Clearly, there is no minimum threshold.

Yeah, I was here for MJ. That was brutal also. :shrug:

[jgraz]

17. So what's wrong with wanting to make our site look a little better?

I mean, if you like the new + signs, that's certainly your right. But I don't understand people jumping on this thread to say I shouldn't post about it.

[reflection]

19. Nothing I suppose.

Forget I said anything. It was nitpicky of me to nitpick your nitpick. My bad.

[lame54]

18. what about those of us who didn't pass 6th grade?

[jgraz]

20. Well, you morans may have to get a brain

:P

[lame54]

21. you call me a name when you misspell...

brane

[jgraz]

22. My badd. I should'nt of casted asparagus.

[spin]

25. If you have a + sign, you should have a - sign and a number...

to get a true feel of how many people vote against the thread.

[jgraz]

26. Yeah, I think we should have kept the negative count as well

My guess is that most prominent posters would get at least a few negative votes no matter what they post. The result of the more juvenile DUers carrying out personal vendettas.

See kestrel's posts above as an example.

[MineralMan]

27. Oh, for Pete's sake. Another OP about a silly thing?

What a waste of screen space.

[jgraz]

28. And yet, you posted on it

If only we had some way to hide a thread we didn't like...

Maybe we should ask Elad to implement that next.
