Stockhouse reputation points
My apologies, ladies and gentlemen, but I feel the need to chastise Stockhouse once again. I have made remarks about this ridiculous 'reputation' system since it began. It doesn't work and I do not believe that any of our serious members are here to build up a collection of points.
I don't post often enough to see any buildup in my own personal allotment, but yesterday was an unusual day. I posted twice, on two different topics, and and was actually awarded 5 reputation points by my peers, for which I am grateful.
However, Stockhouse, like some well-known governments, considered that the votes of my peers were not worthy of notice and so only 3 of the 5 were accepted. Like I have said before, Stockhouse, it's a stupid system and stupider (is that a word?) because it is a fraud, if all the votes don't get tallied.
If you're going to use a system, what's wrong with the old-fashioned thumbs up/down? Why count them? By counting them, you give credence to all the bashers and bullshitters that show up on this site.
Thanks for reading my diatribe once again and I look forward to being ignored yet again.
cheers
