Edited on Thu Mar-04-10 12:54 PM by Political Heretic
At least, of the unrec feature goal really was to shut out specific points of view from higher visibility, then its been a failure. If you write well enough and you're passionate enough, people reward that passion by out-reccing the unrec army.
Thus honest, reality-based posts about the state of our political and economic system still make it to the greatest page.
By the way Echo, do you know that you can also view threads by "Most unreccomented" or "Hottest" (which means threats with the most combination of recs AND unrecs) and also "most debated" (threads with recs and unrecs right about a 50/50 split.
So I'm not sure if its a grand conspiracy as much as it was some poor implementation.
