Although it's always nice when people are trying to think of cool new things, and I definitely appreciate that, this idea reminds me of when people here have noticed when someone has a post that names people for whatever reason, but doesn't name them, and then they say "I never make these lists" and then a bunch of other people talk about how they never make the list, then at other times people joke about being threadkillers, or how many posts they have, or whatevs.
In other words, I don't really think the idea of posting being a competition, and something that you score points for and keep track of, and essentially score in such a way as to imply "interesting" and "not interesting" is necessarily the best idea.
I mean, things like the aforementioned
might not happen, but I can't help thinking they probably would. If I know my ledgies.
I'm not actually sure whether people
really care about being threadkillers, or making people's random lists, or posting a lot, but sometimes when people talk about it it seems like they do.
Also, you can usually just tell if people like a thread or are interested in the subject. Sometimes good stuff gets lost or overlooked, and that sucks, but it all usually works out okay. I appreciate the rating and scoring of things as much as anyone, likely more, a lot more, but not in this case.
