So a few of you have trialled it now - please vote.
and only a certain kind takes pleasure in anonymous snide
Have you ever considered being less bulbish?
Stay on topic keep off the personal stuff and you won't draw the attention of the mods - wouldn't want you being banned would we?
I was just asking a question bro.
Bit like me asking is your sight affected by what hangs down from your head?... and I don't mean your hair.
Not on topic so I won't.
Honestly lad, I was asking a simple question, it appears you have taken offence, so I feel it would benefit us both if we left it now.
Tally ho bro.
Three things about that:The thumb system is simpler but it's a lot duller overall. It hasn't solved anything either as people can harass with the new system by thumbing down a members posts all the time and sending a PM if they feel compelled to leave a comment too.
Three things about that:
1. it is entirely visible to everyone and the harassment can easily discerned for what it is.
2. each "thumb" only relates to a single post and is not carried around with the poster permanently.
3. each "thumb" only carries the same weight as other "thumbs"
All of which means it is light years ahead in fairness and transparency compared to the old, deeply flawed system.
I agree with removing the whole thing altogether.
Good boy, see how civil you can be without hiding behind the old rep snide proof positive of the advantage of keeping it on the main board.
"Innnnnnn one" well done young man if I could give you a green dot I would .... ooops!

Exactly.
The irony is those not coping are the same blowhards who were sneering people are too sensitive and who cares about green and red dots!!!
The new system gives everything the old did except you can't be snide.
Something badly wrong with peoples upbringing if they don't understand.
