Green or Red Thumb if you give one you should be able to see who's it from , or do you pro red thumbers still want to remain anonymous ? so you can click and giggle and not get caught.

Those 4 pages on the bring back red thumbs post was a pile of dribble.Also agree with Angie if you want to post or thumb put up your real name in your profile.

Had the flame suit on doggie lol Hear what your saying but you don't see red on the other forum says somthing about the people.

NO THUMBS

No but I surf and I care


Tbh I dont really care, but as adolf pointed out, this is the only forum that dosnt have them.

TB you get one regardless

bring on real names and contact details to make people accountable for the gold
or crap

that they post

also - a 3 post per day policy - to stem the

dwellers / diluters / time wasters

who really need to get a life (red thumb that!)

and shoot / ban anyone with over 595 posts

and a 1 week ban for spelelling errors.

2 week ban for the misuse of "of" and "have"
3 week ban for "there" and "their"

and finally
- a breathalyser attached to every keyboard to stop "drink posting"

Oi! now you've gone too far! (although my posts would be under the 595 posts if it was introduced earlier - I blame the neverending story for at least half my posts early in the peace)

I am all for them, BUT I think it would better if the anonymity was removed.

If you cant remove the anonymity its better as it is.

You made an example of Facebook. On this if you click 'like' it shows you like it. It's popular as it's akin to what you said above, a smile or a thumbs up rather than having to explain yourself.

Some people are sensitive to the red particularly and if you took the anonymous nature away you'd find people respecting what they say via thumb a lot more.

You would note people abusing it and could address it right there on the forum or in private if better suited.

It's a compromise, not sure how hard it would be to code to the site.

My $2.20 Inc GST anyway.

Totally agree. It seems that a lot (not all...) who are wanting it back just troll the site and don't add to it. It's abuse has had a negative impact on some people as they are in the industry and were always slammed. Their input normally had more insight from experience and was worth a read and now missed. The argument about product pimping was a joke in this case as we all knew they had a commercial interest and in most cases these people posting that were shop owners would not talk up a product that was a dog. Their honesty was great. I think the thumbs put an end to some members.

I am not against thumbs but am against the anonymity of them. I drop down of red thumb / green thumb clickers to a post would be good. It ensures you have the balls to put your name to a post or a dislike and not just slam for indiscriminate reasons or those that may have a anti commercial reason through their own commercial interest.

If anonymity can not be removed then I am against thumbs.

"I surf and I care" LOL

For a record 3rd(?) time

What about a drop down list of red thumbers we could then red thumb for red thumbing! Just brilliant

An amazing story of a site just a little busier than this one, and the trials and tribulations they faces, and the result.

They peaked at 400 moderators ...

I have no issue with those who troll the site and stick their head up and speak their mind. Just don't like anonymity of the thumbs.

Get rid of both green and red,bloody childish!

I wonder how many BROWN thumbs there is?
No to thumbs at all for me!

I'm confused (yeah so what's new).

Do give Laurie a green thumb if I want red thumbs back or a red thumb if I don't want red thumbs back?

Bring back the biff! I mean red thumbs!
