Note to Skinner: How about creating a Kick/Recommend button?
Edited on Mon Jan-19-09 01:23 AM by BigBearJohn
I'd like to be able to push one button to kick and recommend a thread in one click.

2. A random comment generator?
Or for some, an optional add-on: the nonsensical comment generator.

8. I'd rather see a DUzy nomination button ... and other "assists" for that laudatory endeavor.
There's already a 'Recommend' button and 'kick' is merely a post -- which (horror of horrors) COULD contain words of wisdom or entertainment. "Some people" might like to see a thread 'kicked' when it's Recommended.

:shrug:

9. But shouldn't a K&R be worth just a little more effort...?
...than just a button to click??

10. No, a kick without a comment would just bring threads to the top without...
anything new to read. It would be pointless.

Recommendations are votes of support, kicks are new comments (most of the time).

A kick and rec button would be subject to abuse, a bunch of threads rising to the top without new content, what a mess.

Nope, not going to happen.

:patriot:
