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

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!! |

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.

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.
