Just a Gentle Reminder...

Yep, that explains it

Baffling isnt it Nichola, started off on CBF a few years ago as a helpful member, then a big contributor, then senior member, now im down to a negative member. Keiths right, cant sleep at night worrying about it, bet i make 100 negs by the end of june, think the bit of fun though has turned into something silly.

And with that I have removed the + and - values and just the sum of the two is shown. Oh, and I gave Des a boost for his fragile confidence  

[nichola]

Ahhhhh that's nice - a little angel  has been at work and thumbs down has gone... 

And so has thumbs up 

How many times can I modify this post lol   

They are back - yes that's better, the sum of the two 

[desmartinson]

You,re all heart Keith, must owe you at least a crate of effes now.

Des how on earth have you got -14.

To be honest not so keen on the thumbs down - if you knew what post it was that warranted it fair enough.

Thumbs up is OK as it can encourage less prolific posters to feel more confident about posting although it would feel more relevant and be more interesting if you knew what post it was that received what is effectively a like!   

I have given you a thumbs up for this post. Would indeed be nice if you could see for what post you receive it.

And one for the boss of course

It's not ideal but I think it serves it's purpose better as a nett value than how many +s and -s. Negativity is not really part of the CBF culture - not from member to member anyway - we are supposed to be here to help each other and share information, advice and experiences.

The current one is supposed to be a bit of fun and to give an idea of who is thought of as a helpful member - it works well as long as it is in positive territory but stinks when in negative. It rates members rather than posts and Steve and I are keen to find a "thanks" or "like" alternative that shows positive appreciation for posts (rather than members). Sadly, we can't find a suitable one yet but will keep looking.

In the meantime - please consider avoiding using the current one to gang up on people, use it to vote for someone who helped you with advice, info or made you laugh, by clicking thumbs up. If I could turn off the thumbs down and just have the thumbs up I would.

I may have something in a few days
