4. Would be great if people
had to sign there name to rec or unrec a thread. That would cut down on the abuse, or at the very least, make people own their actions.

7. Yes, the mods know.
I'm sure they could open it up to us, too. I would not be opposed to this.

Open it up and let's see who's doing what and why.

12. K&R. It's possible that somebody made a mistake...
This "unrecommend" feature is still brand new, after all. On the other hand, it might be an Obama-hating troll... :shrug: :evilgrin:

13. Anybody here like the pix? I think they're terrific.
