Scott please do away with the rating system.....

Chris,
we are the same boat!

BTW, for some years I try to understand your name!

Now I got you!
'triplock' means: plock, plock, plock...

Now I need to reach 'plock' meaning.
Any tip?
Do you appreciate horses?
Best!

I think the rating system is cool. It could be even better by having more ways to rate things. Then I could choose to view things based on their ratings if I want to. Keep the rating system Scott.

I just clicked the 'Like your post' button.

[preoccupied]

I just noticed that I can have buddies. I can't find the 'Like your post' button. Where is the 'Like your post' button? If posts had likes I would prefer to sometimes not view low scores on older threads. It would be cool to see what posts certain people like.

[jim_mich]

I was joking. This is not face book. There is no 'Like your post' button.

Here we go again Scott. Another annoying puppet. Please remove Smith66 from the forum. Jim has ruined more than one forum.

The shame is, when he stays on topic, I can tolerate ( and respect ) his posts. That's the problem, he always goes back to the character traits that gets him booted every time. Kick him off and keep him off . PLEASE!!!

Dear oh dear....the petty politics, petty sensibilities, petty demands of Petty Mindedness eh?.
And there was silly ol' me assuming that PM stood for something entirely different!
Scott.... do away with everything bar a single discussion board, free & open to one & all, the world over, to say whatever they damn well wish. It's gross pettiness which has given us all this dire example of humanity....having created the shyte then man up for God's sake & put up with a very wee sample of it being thrown back at ya's.
There's millions, as I type, as you read, suffering the very harshest of sticks & stones....can't imagine them seeing the harm in names.
I vote that the `apparent` majority here either go forth & perpetuate or go forth & join the board at the W.I.

[Gill Simo]

Or, having just now read some of the comments from Smith66 for the 1st time......that this breath of fresh air over a stale fart be upgraded to Moderator.

[jim_mich]

Gill, so you're saying you want Smith66 aka Jim Lindgaard upgraded to moderator?

Hey, he can have his own private forum here on BesslerWheel. All he needs do is ask Scott for it. Then we can refrain from being members of his forum and thus we will never see his posts. Win/win. He can rant and rave. And we are shielded from his obscene remarks and abrasive language.

[Gill Simo]

Yes Jim....You read correct.
`Shielded`.... from his obscene remarks and abrasive language?
Many thanks, you've just saved me the trouble of Googling the precise definition of pathetic.

[murilo]

I guess that the worst of the worst is to be called: ''annoying puppet''! 8)))

[ovyyus]

Gill, perhaps your "A wee model to make it easier?" topic might be improved if trolls and parasites moderated it? While I think your rugged sensibilities might cope with it better than most, I'd certainly like to see how such an open-slather experiment would end. My bet is the end result would be pages and pages of rambling complaints about abhammer, cancer surgery, how unjust the ratings system is, unprovable claims, politics, death cults, and penis type. What was your wee model about again? :D

Jim_Mich,
If you could discuss engineering, then we might have something to discuss.
I have told one gal what I'm going to do.
No reason it shouldn't work just fine. Of course, if it does, I expect my critics like you to keep on being critical.
After all, it's all you have.
