Jury is out I guess, but I think you are right to be leaning towards not showing who is giving positive or negative props, that could start a whole bunch of petty non-paddling-related hoopla.

Mystery number it may be, but I personally witnessed my negative props number explode literally overnight. Without accountability, or at least a track to where the thumbs down came from, there's no follow through about where such numbers come from. My posting record, as I've gone back through it over the last day, has been haywire. Posts that are in no way in need of a dislike have been retoactively slammed, and with no accountability, why wouldn't some people be childish? I know a few people who might be mad at me, but I'd still have a finger or two to spare counting them on one hand.

I think having the new "feature" is bogus without accountability.

Yes, I'm taking this personally because I feel I've been personally targeted. I think this topic didn't have me in mind when the O.P. brought it up, but I know I didn't have so many thumbs down until recently (last two days).

I disagree that it is a good thing to have negatives and positives anonymous. That's how cliques sabotage and undermine freedom. The very lack of accountability this premotes only instills the will to be devious.

I, well, especially after seeing what I've seen recently, think that accountability (some sort of register for who gave positive and negative props) would actually make people be more responsible. After all, since the people can't hide behind anonymity, they have to stand behind their actions.

I'm so close to bringing up our current state of politics I'm about to puke.

But I won't.

Anyway, I say either get with full disclosure, or do away with the tracking tally of +/-. I'm not saying do away with giving props or a thumbs down. Someone may post about a certain run with beta that is completely wrong, and therefore a negation (many, preferable) has a place. Likewise to reports of good trips/conditions. Who wouldn't like to see support and thanks for good situations?!

 hey i just tryed some props and you can give yourslef props  haha

So people like it, don't like it, want full disclosure and don't think there should be disclosure.

Got it. No problems.... Unless I am in class 2 (neg peg bdog!)

I like the idea, although I don't like seeing the negative props.  Too negative.  Maybe your rating could be your positive posts minus your negative posts?  That way if you are a real asshole, it will still show.

I have actually never even looked at it. I have no idea how many I have, nor have the time to care .

I had no idea this was going on....I don't have a problem with it...thanks for all your work James...

All my emergency greenruns have caused me to have injuries that have taken me out for the next week or so. But, it was worth it while the water was up. All you guys up north should get down here off of the Sky once in a while and hit it up.

You just received a neg prop....

dave, dont be bashful, go for as many negative props as you can. you are basically the modern day hugo!
