DU3 will list all the DUers who REC a post by username. How do you feel about this?

Poll question: DU3 will list all the DUers who REC a post by username. How do you feel about this?

1. Will this include unrecs (I think that would be even more interesting)...

...and where there is recognition of behavior, there is
often more considered and thoughtful (thought-filled?)
behavior.

2. I think not. Skinner's latest DU3 sample was a screenshot and I didn't see unrecs on it. I'm glad.

I rarely use unrecs but I do think there are lots of trolls where unrec's are concerned. You see lots of uncontrovertial threads that get unrec'd numerous times...when you'd be sure 99% of DUers would agree. So I'm glad if they no longer exist.

3. It might, but it wouldn't stop the unrec whiners.

The egos and their groupies would have a direction for their anger. War and chaos would ensue. The big forums would become battlefields littered with deleted messages and locked threads.

4. I like it : )

I started recommending many posts silently/privately ...trying not to build up my post count:D

5. this would be a good way to smoke out the trolls who rec up each other's posts.

It will be pretty obvious when the same handful of user names rec posts that 99% of DUers disagree with.

6. It'll expose sock puppets as well.

7. Maybe change the name of the thing from Rec

A different forum I visit has a "Thanks" button below each post - people indicate if they found the information in the post by clicking the "Thanks" button. Every member who thanked the poster is listed below that post.

I like the "Thanks" button there. It allows a quick assessment on how useful a particular post it. And I really like that each individual post can be thanked, not just the thread as a whole. I don't mind having my username come up since it is always a positive message.

They have no negative like the Unrec here. I don't like the idea that Unrecs would have the names listed because of the negativity. If the names are listed, get rid of the Unrec.
