What is this fashion about vote 5 for one line post?
-
I though the votes for post were to give importance to the post so when you see the page you can see clearly if the post has a merit or not. I see that it is out of control and even the most of the stupid post has a 5 score and looks red :) with 5 or 6 votes. This is a classic example of greedy people, because it affects the “MVP” score now everyone is voting for everyone…. Can’t you see it that you will have to wait another year to see if you will be a MVP? :) And in all this time you are screwing the posts? I really don’t have time to read every post made, so usually I go for the red ones and closer to them…. If that was the original idea then it doesn’t work anymore. :(

I suspect that people vote 5 for things they find funny, and 1 for people they don't agree with. I also doubt highly that the MVP score includes posts in the lounge and soapbox.

Didn't you know, any post with "MVP" in the subject is automatically voted a 5 by the CP code. (why do you think Michael Dunn put "(MVP)" in his thread subject below?) ;P

I don't think it was ever the original idea.

Hell, if you don't question it, they'll never explain it! Ironic, isn't it. If you followed your own advice, you wouldn't have posted your question, as you obviously don't know the reason for the 5 votes. ;P Marc

Ironically I think actually you are correct in your use of the word "question" as I saw it quoted.

Context is important. Short colloquialisms can carry a lot of meaning, but obscure the meaning for outsiders.

says very much. Contrary to the sayers belief, it says more about the sayer than the information contained in that specific sequence of 14 words. When anyone utters those 14 words, I usually reply with only 2 words. Kyle knows which two and in what order they come. X|
