Quantity does not necessarily equate to quality. :lol:

Thank God someone finally said it. Take off the lol, because you are dead on here. I really wish these plus and minus things didn't exist, as they may possibly limit, or stifle completely, unpopular (but possibly correct) opinions from those new to the board or just not confident in their opinions.

The only reason I lead this stupid thing is because I post A LOT (sadly, I'm addicted, DAMN YOU, HARRY!!!). If Tasty didn't become a mod, he would be leading by a LOT. If Tony (KingDL) posted more, he would be leading by a LOT.

Not only that, but the negatives give the trolls a reason to stick around and a goal to shoot for. I wish this would just go away, but I know I'm probably in the minority.

And, yes, I did find something new to bi+ch about.

I am for the whole plus/minus thing to go away, or at least the minus or negative. Several forums only have a like.

I like the plus minus ratings. There a couple other forums I visit that would be improved by the ability to note your dislike of a post without the need to get into a more public and often nasty tit for tat.

So passive/aggressive is better than open conversation?

Doggie Style's post above illustrates another reason these things suck. The trolls get a reward instead of ignored.

To answer your first question - yes, sometimes it is better than open conversation, because IMO it reduces the noise on here. If I don't like one of your or someone else's posts I'll just -1 you and move along. It leaves more room for complaining about helmets on hats and other such groundbreaking discussions.

I'll also say it gives me and I'll say probably others a way to scan through topics to find the great nuggets of comments and humor. I'd say that for the most part it does a good job of sorting that good from bad out as well.

I am 100% behind you. To add, to me it seems a bit silly to have a college-level forum with a "reputation" point-based system and counter-productive for the reasons you mentioned.

I don't think the plus/minus stops any nasty tit for tat here, but I do like the tit side.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Without knowing much about boxing, I think the powers will declare Paul the winner. There's a young generation of potential longterm viewers who grew up watching him make YouTube videos and having him beat Tyson brings too many potential viewers for the future of the sport. It's like introducing fast food in public schools in the 80s and 90s. Their future money depends on it.

      To SUMG’s point, I remember the Mean Green Club and the Mean Green 100 Club starting during the Hayden era. Remember the beautiful lime green sport coats given to the Mean Green 100 members ? I still have a decal on the wing window of my ‘77 sports car that I applied sometime after I bought the car in ‘77. And, I’m convinced we might still be in Fouts Field were it not for Rick V. Thanks.

      A lot of us old timers didn't want to make a change from NT to UNT. He went through 4 or 5 presidents while he was AD, I each who had their own idea as to how to market North Texas.In addition his budget was pocket change. You can thank Rick and C.Dan Smith for your new football stadium.

      Admittedly he did look in fantastic shape. If it's not over quickly then I see age related stamina dropping fast. I'll check it out... AFTER we win

      Tyson may be 31 years older, but he is still going to beat Paul like a rented mule. After seeing him at the weigh-in, I surmised that Tyson is in shape (for the first time in 30+ years) and still has his hand speed. Even if some of Tyson's punching power has diminished, he still has enough power to knockout a Youtuber.
