Well I haven't been a member very long and the Woo/Boo discussion has been on going for a long time.
I got my first Boo today.
I would be less than truthful if I said it didn't upset me. I abide by all the rules. I am respectful of others. I love to make people laugh. I do get serious now & then and step out my "Dumb Blonde" persona.
The only thread I started "Blonde Jokes From A Blonde" has well over 500 views in the week or two since I started it. I think that means members are enjoying it and revisit it often for new jokes. Some have added jokes to it too!
So, I log on to find a "Boo" today.
The real problem with this so-called "excellence" measurement system is that no one knows what the "Woo" or "Boo" is for or where it came from. It is my opinion it doesn't measure excellence or anything else for that matter.
What it DOES do is to smack "Good" members by someone who can hide behind an invisibility cloak and leave without a trace.
Since it has been stated by GRM that he likes this crappy system and I am merely a guest, I will accept it. Unfairness does make a great & fun site more like so many inferior sites!
I hope this rant doesn't get me kicked out. I expect to get lots of "Boo's" for whining. At least I enjoyed the site & the people who are members for a couple weeks
