that was funny dude

Dear Mr Laurie.
No to red thumbs, and so all the forum stalkers are happy delete green as well.
Anything anonymus IMO is gutless.

yours sincerely
Mick Smith

i woke this morning and had one the best craps in my life. life is grand

Thumbs are so archaic.
Faded into history with the demise of the Roman empire.
We need to be up with the times and use the middle finger!

Sorry lacey your out of line here buddy,doggie does not hate standup's at all,he would not know the meaning of hatred.
So having a little light hearted fun in here is a no no,so you are saying.
Lifes to full of crap so whats up with doggie,legion or even myself trying to lighten you guy's up,not all I might ad.btw,I enjoy your posts lacey keep the stoke cobber.

Yeh right, he may not hate them but he sure dont like em. As evident in his own post "sup riders" in short board forum, it was in that post that legion was asked by Laurie to stop posting for a while in sup forum.

maybe the attitude of SOME

OK another day comes to an end and this topic is still headlines.

Do you think some people post red thumbs because they are jealous
of others?

What, like thumb envy

And Legion as well.

Lacey when he wants to be the mad new boards every week scientist.

Doggie when he wants to be a bit cheeky

Legion when he's in a bad mood and needs to tell someone about it.

Did you crap a red thumb?

Sounds like a footy team

Its easy,red and green or none,that's my vote.

Echo echo echo

I want to change my vote. 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.

Conversely, if you want a techno fix:
- Everybody gets a quota of posts/thumbs.
- Posting or giving/receiving red thumbing decreases your quota.
- Time and/or a portion of green thumbs increases your quota.
- Too many red thumbs or posts and you can't post/thumb any more until old posts/red thumbs have expired.
- Maybe have a multiplier so if you thumb one person's posts repeatedly in a short time frame then you lose more of your quota.
- Pick a few "forum reporters". like DJ, who provide content, and make them exempt from the post/thumb quotas.
- Thumbs need to be anonymous because voting is always private to protect the voters from intimidation (see above posts for examples).

Nobody can mount thumb vendettas on anybody because thumbing stops you being able to thumb or post more.

People who get thumbed by a lot of people are by definition extremely annoying and are auto sin-binned by popular consensus.
