Does anyone else think the Unrec system is funny?
Especially the fact that any posts critical of the unrec system are immediately unrecced into negative numbers, I say we keep it just for the comedy value.

1. Yep. Lots of whining going on by some people who aren't applying logic in their arguments
Lots of stomping of virtual feet. Nap time should be coming along pretty soon.

6. What is really funny is......
The importance some place on this place. People need to get a life.

7. I think the elevated sense of self-importance that it reveals in some people is very funny
And kind of sad at the same time.

18. Well look at it this way.
Now you have an enemy that you can unrecommend every post he makes...that should give you a lot of satisfaction.

14. I like the unrec but I think
Edited on Sat Jul-11-09 11:43 AM by Chemisse
people's reaction to it is extremely funny.

I am wondering if this is all some psychology experiment. Soon somebody will publish their dissertation on this with an incredibly boring name, like "Effects of offering false impression of power to fringe political population."

16. What is funny to me is that this is all about control.
The majority wants to control the minority with democracy.
Can't have frivolous posts cluttering up their board,,,especially when it is called the greatest.
But is that not a sign of thin skin and what prompted unrecommended? but the majority now tells the minority to get thicker skin...that is really funny.
