How Often Do You Rec Posts?
Are you a parsimonious reccer or munificent reccer?
Or maybe, like me, you are a post wrecker? ![]()

10. I'm going to level with you TD
I go through phases. Some days I will rec just about everything I read. Other days I won't rec a single thing. I'm not even sure what the point of recs is besides getting your post on the home page under "trending."

13. I just checked my last two trending threads
You rec'd one of them. That's 50%. I'll give you a pass. But think about it, ProudLib, you don't excel in life at 50%. Let's get you rec'ing ALL of my threads so you can feel better about yourself!

14. Which one did I rec?
I need to go back and change that right now!
Have you ever compared the rec count for serious posts versus Lounge posts? There is critical, need to know information versus "Make me feel better right now" silliness. For example, a post about Pelosi demanding the Rump's tweets be condemned as racist will get the same number of recs as cute kittehs. Those are DUers' top priorities now. ![]() |

23. I rec both types of threads
The informative and anti-Trump admin threads get my recs and the Lounge "aw" threads get 'em too. It's not surprising that some DUers embrace the "feel good" posts in an era of the Orange Shitgibbon.
Speaking of "oh, sweet" threads, have you checked out this one? https://www.democraticunderground.com/10181246810 Go give it a rec, ProudLib!! ![]() |

But I just watched it and gave it a rec. Yes, that is definitely a much needed feel good post!

You can always undo it later on when you get to feeling contrary.

30. Salmonchantedevening is good stuff
Don't know if I need to rec it, though. Within minutes it will be up in the hundreds already.
That's the other thing. Do you bother reccing posts that already have a lot of recs? It's a question I struggle with. |

31. I have almost never rec'd anything else.
Very rarely, but only if there are very few recs already and I really think it ought to wind up on the trending or greatest pages.

19. Prolific reccer here!
If I agree with or really like something, that earns a rec from me. I figure if someone here went to the trouble, they deserve a rec - which allows more people to see the post - and I also know how much recs of appreciation also mean to me.

22. Sometimes it's difficult to decide whether a post should be recced
If the content is about something horrible that happened, do you rec it? There is no way to inform other users that you are reccing the importance of the message rather than approving of the content.

32. That's an excellent point and I remember this discussion when we first had recs
My example at the time was Sarah Palin, do we rec to point out how ridiculous something she said or did was or would it be interpreted as approval of her behavior? That's when a reply is appropriate, to give an opinion of the recced post - even if it's just a facepalm. If it's important news, good or bad, sending it back to the top so more people will see it is the right thing to do.

There ought to be a way to disapprove posts, since we have a way to approve them.
