This is a newer feature to this site. It became active when we did the big software upgrade mid-2009. I did not lay out some rules as I felt this site's member base was capable of handling it like adults. The purpose is to either reward people who are taking the time out to really help the forum, in terms of topics or posts that are beneficial in information, or to give a warning to those posting negative or vastly incorrect information.
It is a nice little feature that can be a positive addition to new members, especially when they are looking for something they need, and they find it right here by one of our members, so +1. It is not a popularity contest, it is not a bashing contest, and it is not there to be used as an anonymous attack against someone you don't like or someone that had to correct your incorrect statement. I have stated a couple of times in passing that if it was abused, I will need to turn it off. A few of the moderators have voiced their opinion about turning it off, even the ones who are in the top 15 list on the front page of the forum, as they feel it would be abused.
Now this topic is being posted due to two members who will go unnamed at the moment, as I hope they see this as a polite heads up so I don't need to give them a warning on their account, approach them about the problem, or even be forced to go as far as having to remove their account privilege. This is a very respectful site with some of the best and most knowledgeable members in terms of car audio on the net, so please let's keep it that way and not be childish.
Guidelines:
- Don't abuse it
- Don't use it to attack someone though anonymity
- Use it when you feel someone has really contributed to the forum in terms of a great topic or post or idea.
- Use it when you feel someone has grossly mislead the topic or OP in terms of the discussion.
- Keep it civil
- Use it in moderation
Please abide by those guidelines or we will be forced to give temporary time-outs to those that do, or even go so far as turning off the system. It is quite simple.
