The "R" is for Recommend. If you see the boxes at the bottom of the OP there is one that says "DU rec". You can vote on a thread if you like it and the higher number of votes it gets the higher it goes on the list of Greatest Threads. Lots of DU readers use that page as their front page to the site, so getting on there can be useful to visibility.
