Reply #98: I know it's hard work running an MB with so many different

interests and I think that overall you and our Mods do a decent job.
While I don't care who recs or unrecs my threads, I think there is a legitimate complaint from DUers who keep the board running that persons who do not contribute can rec or unrec threads and I think you may want to think about changing this feature.

It is true that sometimes persons who have been here for years do not have the money to contribute, but that can be resolved by using years of membership. A person who has been a member for two years or less should not be allowed to rec/unrec if they are not donating to the Board.

I certainly don't withhold contributions because I disagree with the way the board is run. I send one contribution (in time for the Valentine's fundraiser) to cover the year because I'd rather not split it up and end up paying more for bank drafts than I contribute to DU.
