Why were rec's reset? Because people were abusing them.
Why were they abusing them? To see who was #1, who could get the most.
Why not get rid of them from displaying. If you want to rec something then do it. But why keep track of who got recced X number of times. It will just bring back the same problem again.
Look at the recced postings and you can see it starting already.
I am glad that someone lost all his recs which he clearly did not deserve 🙂
I think this is great idea but could be better still.

Sorry Russ,
But I truly disagree with this decsion (where was a vote for that?)
Recs are a reflection of a person's reputation and in a way a good indication to see how active members have been in the forums.
I have been a member for quite a few years now (and have gathered some truly deserved recs for some good input I had in the foums) and ...[text shortened]... ing re-set?
Sorry Russ, but I couldn't disagre more with that decision

Now, you'll just have to fawn for those precious recs Boris. I'm sure you'll get comfortable with that given time.

A bunch of excellent ideas.

Looking at your clans recs, it seems that cashthetrash and IM4Y2NV are the only people who may have gotten at least some of their recs from non clan members, ie: they may have earned them for a site idea, or a detailed, thought out post.
Lets see what the Carptain earned his recs for...

Just vaccum up the old 'Meat Opponents' forum and raplace the red pleather captain's chairs and dim lit neon signs with bleachers and a score board.

I think all the ratings should be set back to 1200. Why should users have a better rank than I do just because they play the game better?

Your feature would be nice, and I would like to add that there should be a number of matches you want to play for clan one vs. clan 2.
I might want to play 2 matches at all times with clan one... and 2 matches for clan 2.
If I have one match going on in clan one, I have one spot. If I have no matches in clan 2, I have 2 spots.
My leaders would know I am available for 1 or 2 full matches. That way I wouldn't need to PM a leader saying "please give me 2 matches, and no more" while I tell the other clan leader, "Please give me one more match, I only want 2".

So tell me skeeter, how does it feel to have your fantasy world blown apart with fact?
Looking briefly at the other members, Xanthos earned 2 recs for well thought out posts in debates, I got 1 for helping somebody out in the help forum, and dottewell got a couple for a well thought out post in general about the state of the forums and how the trolls are ruining the forums at the moment.
The next time you want to lie about the Carp's members and their actions, please think of this post, and come back down to planet Earth.
Thanks,

7 of my recs came from Spammann. You can ask him why.
10 came from an anonymous donor last night. I'm not sure who (although I have a suspicion. And it's not someone in my Clan(s).)
4 came from non clan members for my response to the Smelly Loser post of dottie's.
Finally, at least 4 of Phlab's recs came from IM and me.
Reccs suck. I'd be happy if they went away.

Why on earth do we not just scrap the entire system? All posts should be judged on their own merit, without the need for the equivalent of someone saying 'Yeah!'...
What real purpose do recs serve?
"QFT" or some equivalent. Therefor, we have slightly cleaner, easier to read threads.

Ah well, luckily we shouldn't have to suffer for too much longer.

Do you know how many recs any members of our clan gave and to who? I don't.
