Here's a scenario:

Mr Big has a surf with his son, he posts some pics and a story.

Jack Flynn red thumbs his post for no reason, his name shows up as red thumbing.

Everyone thinks Jack is knob....... If you can see Jack is being a knob my guess is Jack wouldn't do it in the first place.


The argument is that pressing the thumb isnt saying anything, if your name is beside it you are saying something. It could even generate discussion.


Agree sounds logical, same as Facebook likes you can get a list of who likes. In this case it will be dislikes

Just make us the same as all the other forums. I don't like the idea of SUP being in a special needs group because some kids can't play nicely with the other kids.



Very funny read..Sorry could't help but repost.

If its to be like facebook we could even import the "Poking" digit..So for instance Doggie could "Poke" Lacey.. Maybe Lacey could pass the Poke on..that sort of thing, let the love flow
Then we'd have a "Special forum" full of pokers

PS just poking (Sorry) a but of fun, i love the SUP show and can't wait to get my own..

Jack Flynn could really be Farq Feral from FarqSUP who objects to Mr Big saying little Big was loving his WotSUP board... Either way if everyone knew Farq was thumbing Big the reason would be obvious and immediately discounted and would create bad media for Farq. In that case it would be a FarqUP.

Yes, pubic transparency is the way in the modern age, nothing worse than a cat in the lap.

Ooops did you say public?

hmmm, after reading the last couple of pages, i could go with red thumbs, but with accountability.

i don't see it as fair that someone takes the time to post and somebody goes this is too easy and red thumbs them for whatever reason or agenda they have.

and lets make no mistake, a fair amount of the red thumbing is agenda driven and has nothing to do with the post its self.

even adolf can't deny he red thumbs people because he doesn't like them. i would rather force him to get one of his withering tirades going and i've been on the end of a few

however at the end of the day i would like to see the thumbs gone altogether. its a forum isn't- say something!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny thing Lacey is that I never use them unless mac puts up a post I generally say what I have to say and most people know that. All these open forums should run under the same rules ect with no one being an exception imo.
I get red thumbs all the time, do I care? Nope, not at all. In fact I dont even post on the weekend, I actually have a life and generally go surfing so if ya wanna res thumb me go for it!! Haha you cant in here, I bet that burns alot of people up

I just red thumb posts I don't like and green thumbs posts I like and people do the same to mine. If someone has lots of red thumbs for no reason I try to even it up by giving them a green.

I think you'll find popular posters get lots of green thumbs and unpopular posters get lots of red ones.

Sometimes it's easier to just hit one of those things. It's like agree/disagree.

What's the point of adding your comment to a post if someone else has already written what you were going to say - just thumb em instead.

Laurie I'm confused - On your 1st post at the start of this discussion do you click red or green for yes or no to red thumbs. It isn't clear?

Makaha - that was when I said I was surfing Big Left and you thought I was some fake hawaiian and big noting myself.

When in actual fact the break is called Big Left.

I don't remember the other time.

Oliver is dead now. He changed his username cause he got pissed and didn't think another stupid topic didn't have any legs - and it didn't.

Anyway - adolf and my new avatar is much more fitting.

Fair Dinkum, I've put up with this for nearly a week, greatest apologies to Laurie as I understand he is under a lot of pressure from certain quarters, but is this a forum about stand up surfing/paddling or is it about digital insertion[}:)]. ???? There are plenty of other sites where you can get your jolly's if that is the case. Lets get on with the real business of, HAVING SOME FUN, TALKING/WRITING SOME CRAP AND BEING TOLERANT OF OTHERS OPINIONS!!!! (except for those damn Canadians)

s### i didn't even see(the red thumb) or read that part. i'm confused too.


the results are null and void.

this needs to be very clear as to which thumb your supposed to press.

set it up with no posts- just poll/vote please
cheers

Good idea.
Why should you not know who's disagreeing with you.
All for this option.

No Reds;

As per CMC's line of thinking...

Or if you do bring the thumbs back - have another re-think after 1 month, monitor activity, posts, who's thumbing... etc... then decide again...
