Had a number of WANNABES asking to "Enfriend" referring about me being on it, but NEVER seen Myself on it when I looked. Assume such Ilk to be Unfriends in disguise, this "IGNORE ALL" is my Default response to these Pseudo-Freunds.

Look up Groucho Marx about other Clubbering Buggers.

The sooner it goes the sooner all the inane questions stop filling our inboxes.

It was a bad idea from it's inception and if anything, brought out the most crass of human characteristics. I personally am no fan of it at all, and if anything, it has exposed the needy side of some people who frequent Soda Head.

Epic fail IMO.

I don't take much notice of it, but I'm not sure there's any reason it needs to go. :/

Most of the times, I don't even realize that it's there. To me, it serves no purpose.

Which is likely why many folk are religious about idolizing it.

Stryder to Todd 2012/09/23 18:42:15

That's the reason right there. People ask a ridiculous amount of ridiculous questions. I really get tired of deleting 300 questions every day. I don't have time to sort through that many questions and thus, have to delete them en masse. It's a tad bit aggravating, to say the least.

Todd to Stryder 2012/09/23 19:44:26

Eh I have about 4000 shared questions so you can tell how much I feel your pain.... Not at all

reply
Stryder to Todd 2012/09/23 19:54:45

I'm not asking you to feel my pain. Just making a point that is obviously beyond you. Have at it.

When I first joined SH there was no Leaderboard. I can't see any purpose in it I only looked at it once to see what it was.

I used it all the time.
Because of my stroke I have trouble remembering many names and the Leaderboard allows me to look for my friends all 195 of them.

It seems that the people with high scores do not get them for the content of what they say but because they have no life and spend all day on this site.

David to andrew.... 2012/09/23 03:40:38

You have been on this site not quite one month and you are at level 6, doesn't seem like you will have any trouble reaching level 20 by the end of the year!

There's no holding you back is there! They will need to invent 42 categories just to keep you busy for a couple of months after Christmas!

I'm leaning toward 'no', however. I mean, it doesn't effect me much, but if a lot of SH's really like it why spoil their fun.

I remember when there was no point scoring and leader boards, so people actually raved you because they liked your answer, not for the points.. The same goes for asking questions, the more you ask the more points you get

Operant conditioning. It's not going anywhere.

I only say yes because it's manipulative. However, it's only effect on me is the occasional friend request from people I have never spoken to and whose requests I consequently ignore.

It's pointless. I think the public rave system's a bit stupid as well - do you really need to count up all the raves you have? What's the point?

I'm not sure-I sort of like it because it motivates me to be more active-And I swore when I joined this site it wouldn't influence me but I'm hooked on the challenge-
