With the old system of Reputation you could give positive rep' and state it in the thread but it was so much more fun to get negative Rep' without being told that it had been done, by whom or why...
Until you discovered it amongst the personal bio/profile stuff - found my negative rep' by accident - quite an interesting read...
And I never thought of doing that at all, I usually made comment in a post so that it was clear that the post/thread was perhaps unjustifed, unfair or racist as has been evident at times
And now we have the 'helpful post' feedback...
Suddenly a 'notification' or three that a post has been considered unhelpful - no comment or feedback...
It seems that disagreeing with a post or with a thread may now result in lots of 'unhelpful' feedback...
I just wonder if we are losing the ability to give feedback within a thread and debate differences, resulting in anonymous judgement and notification of our unhelpful ways...
This is just as bad as the negative rep' technique...
I can imagine eager clicks on 'unhelpful' for any post/individual who is at odds with another person or thread...
Conflict about not using cone filters, use of AMSOIL, additives, BOV's, unbelievable RR figures or whatever
Maybe I am out of step, my instinct about this may be wrong, and other sites may be doing it but IMO not such a good feature of the Forum...
