A feature better than the rec/unrec

[loyalkydem]

I just discovered the hide thread feature. I have not used it before but to those articles I don't like, instead of unreccing them, I'm now hiding them and I don't have to worry about seeing that thread every time I log in. What a nice feature the admins programmed into the site.

1. i do like the hide feature.

but i also like rec and unrec. i find DU has a lot of features absent on almost every other message board i've frequented. the site is better because of those features.

2. Unreced and hidden!

3. "Hide" is simply another feature and not necessarily a better feature than Rec/UnRec.

UnRec does serve a purpose and is to allow members to express displeasure with an OP or what it says.
A thread which states "Obama sucks" or "Dennis Kucinich sucks" would likely and justly receive UnRecs from many DUers who can simply UnRec the thread without responding and kicking a thread like that.

Ultimately, to UnRec a thread really has nothing to do with hiding it. In fact, you could UnRec a thread and then hide it.

4. I often use them together. First Unrecommend, then Hide Thread.

First, warn others, then hide it from sight so it no longer clutters my screen.
