I would say that any thread as long as that one will get lots of views. I would also add that I clicked on that thread just to get rid of the bold when I was looking in my subscribed threads. I imagine others would have done the same.
Car wrecks get a lot of views..It doesn't mean people want more of them Well.....maybe they secretly do
Some of you guys are going to push me back to the old way I can see that, so don't blame me when you get mugged. The members here like to put in front of me so I can knock them down, if they think that I really care about my reputation points they can think again and see after they push me.
OK I see what you mean. Let me rephrase. It's not useful feedback IMO if it doesn't contain any text. Fine if someone doesn't like a certain post of mine but I can only improve if I know what I did wrong or what the person in question didn't like about it. That's why I'd like to see a minimum character limit, even though I know it will then be filled with !!!!!!!!!!!!'s etc. At least it might encourage a few. Maybe even a drop-down of pre-determined notes could be effective. neg rep: "You're talking BS - support with facts!" is so much better than just negative rep.
Public reply: To the member who yesterday gave me a negative reputation vote with the anonymous comment "are they important now?", the answer is: No. It's certainly not the first one I've received and I think I can pretty much guarantee that it won't be the last. Are they important to you? If so, please see above in this thread. Then do a Google search for "get a life", with or without the quotation marks, or if you have a lot of time to kill, check in DMOZ under "Life, Getting One".
Minstrel - Out of curiousity I did a search on google for get a life and the first sponsored result was "Handsome Boy Modeling" Is this cryptic post part of some type of puzzle? PS - I gave you a positive to balance it out just so that vein in your head doesn't explode
well said, Minnie. I havent voted, coz i couldn't care less. It's funny how i have a bunch of good rep's and people have ALL left their name with their comment. On the bad rep's they are allll annonymous...If you have an opinion, good or bad, thats YOUR opinion, and fair enough, don't be a chicken shit and please feel free to leave your name then, too.
LOL -- the vein in my head wouldn't explode. I meant it when I said I don't care. As for the question, "IS it some sort of cryptic puzzle?", I guess the answer is "yes -- it will give those people stressing and obsessing about 'rep' something else to fret about".
I would say that the rep. system hurts threads and the forum in this way, instead of making a comment within the thread making the thread more interesting, folks give bad rep. without a comment in the thread and just leave the thread. This is not good
No. Definitely not DMOZ. No, no. Just me making an oblique comment on limited utility of the DMOZ bookmarks
This is like a bad addiction thread for me.......no useful value, but i cannot stop reading! i really should go work on homework
awww, i just got my first negative rep all cause of this thread. oh well lol EDIT btw - no name no comment or anything, just a red square
You will be fine, just stay out of controversy, it was not me, my votes don't count, but you can vote for me Wendy
Aw Wendywoo, dont worry about it. Did you know, that it is actually seen as cool to have a red square? well you do now. Anthony is cooler than a fridge freezer. I wanna be like him when i grow up!!
