~Beleive me, you will be the last one ending up with lamb sign~
.. which immediately illustrates why we don't do this. Anything that opens the door to politics, or encourages polarization, pretty much goes out the window without any discussion. I'll let the thread open for now in case you want to discuss alternatives, but I don't really see how you can add any sort of peer-based coolness factor without potential for trouble down the road.
I don't think I understand what you are saying Rat.
As for jvb, yes I have seen his posts many times, and I have never seen any abuse or spamming incoming from him, always friendly and polite, at least towards me, so that is why I have written :
*Beleive me, you will be the last one ending up with lamb sign*
No politics, no encouraged polarization, closed communities, finally elite levels, or any other hierarchy, if this is what you were saying.
But thinking about alternatives, hmm, important is what is desired to achieve. If spam or not polite behaviour is our worst enemy, here is just another idea to create a:
NB posts or Hall of Fame
and
Spam, [nocando], shame, (name it accordingly) list of posts
where once a week, or once a month the best and the worst posts are placed.
Does it make sence?
