I didn't think I was a negative person... But apparently I am...

Anyone else reached their limit (and is this a new thing)??

I haven't the slightest idea what you are talking about.

Are you talking about giving out red or green thumbs? No, its not new, there has always been a limit you can vote on each day I think.

Haha, yes referring to thumbs. I know there's always been a limit of about 10 per day.
But mine actually tells me I've been using too many red thumbs so I can't use red thumbs. Greens thumbs work fine but no red thumbs. I'm not the type of guy to red thumb willy nilly but some people write some comments that need reed thumbing i.e. a certain someone in the boston thread...

And I'm sure Willy appreciates that.

Haha, I just green thumbed you to get back in the good books!

why not make the effort to actually comment if you feel so strongly about it...

rather than hide behind a thumb

According to an internal memo there has been a change to the way thumbs are controlled. There was a limit per day before, but it appears that some users would use their red thumb limit every day and not go near the green thumbs. The overall red thumb to green thumb ratio was getting alarming so an extra constraint was imposed. At least if I read the memo right.

I don't think there's a limit the other way, green vs. red thumbs. The worst ratios I see for red to green with a quick look over different periods are around 10:1 (not Beersy, FYI), but there are plenty of people who post 10:1 green to red or more, I'm seeing some 20:1 over certain periods. Seems like overall we're more positive than negative, but people seem to react to the negative more than the positive...

Speaking of negative, I was in a toy shop on the weekend looking for a present for GreenNiece and noticed a certain character included in the "Villains" figurine playset...

So where do I find out if I've been thumbed?

Man, I could be sitting on a pile of thumbs, no wonder I feel so uncomfortable!!
