Up and Down Votes

    I think it allows you to evalaute someone's usual logic when it comes to posting. Although its not a perfect system I don't mind it. Like when you see a 2* guy with a 20ish rating, you would assume that he usually posts some BS or says something that is totally unpopular a lot of the time. I like the system because it's funny to see people hit with a barage of DVs for saying something no one will agree with LOL. Like the other day, someone posted how Thad Matta should be fired lol... Those are classic!

    I think that is Play's point...it is a terrible way to evaluate someone's logic because people aren't being rated by their logic. They're being rated on the popularity of what they say. For example, you'll see 100 upvotes for someone that writes "love it!!!!!" to a link posted about Meyer. Conversely, you will see another person downvoted 100 times when they say something like "Jim Tressel was rightfully fired because (1) he lied to the NCAA and we don't need them breathing down our neck for the next 15 years he is here, and (2) it shows a complete lack of control to play ineligible players who have proven they cannot abide by the rules."

    It usually corresponds to how much of an a$$hole you are. I'm almost at 5 stary a$$hole status. pray

    Actually no, Pula. It means you (or anyone) at times, posts something that goes against the Scarlet and Gray ...grain.

    And those who were pulled away from the breast at too young of an age, hit the down vote button as a childish way of protesting your right to express an opinion that is typed without pom poms in your hands!

    I wish people would just type a one or two line sentence that expresses what they disagree with ....isn't that what these Forum thingees are for???

    I dunno......maybe I just don't fit the age demographic, LOL.
