Just as there has been a limit on the number of threads a person can post...
so to should there be a limit on how many threads a person can recommend.

So many threads with very little merit either in fact or in general substance routinely receive more than the number of recommendations they deserve. This has become a horribly abused function used to further talking points or spread outright lies, the worst single example of which this weekend I think was seeing 5 people recommend an outright BS post about the results of the supposed "popular vote" at the Wyoming Caucus.

Who agrees with me on this?

1. Now that you mention it....
Not a bad idea at all.

2. People recommend such garbage so regularly that I think there needs to be
some kind of restraint. It has lost its meaning.

3. Sorry, I don't agree...
I see many worthy threads, and I would be really upset if there was a limit...

I'm also upset that worthy Lounge threads (and yes, they do exist) cannot go the the Greatest Page...



:-(

7. And yet so many that make it on to the Greatest Page don't belong there.

4. There should be a limit on things that bug me.
If you disagree, please do not limit the amount of silence which you partake of in response.

8. Not only limits, but legislation with jail time against all things I find annoying.
Who the fuck do people think they are, anyway? :mad:
