By not spamming green text and actually giving a valid reason why.

To many people have been posting support for just about everything with no reason why or even if the thread can be supported.

Just yesterday someone made a rules thread. It got supported? It wasn't even a decision it was a helpful guide

+support

On the serious side, it would indeed be helpful if views and opinions were shed on situations, to help people gather useful information for later applications.

Support+++

This is a serious issue, It's getting nothing done unless in the pending section.

If you like an idea maybe list some reason or why it would be good and how you can help.

You cant exactly force people to not +support, its part of HGN

And some people may view commenting on tons of things as asskissing, I dunno, basically it started with one guy doing it and then every else did, I dont even know why I do it, its just liek....part of HGN

Zarrick, I'm asking to take this seriously.

He's not saying don't do it, he's just asking for you to give an opinion alongside it, to show why it is you support, so that your views me be best applied to future actions.

Aah, thank you Crim, I understand it now.

Hmm... Well i dont believe this Idea should come out, i dont see the very big problem with this apart from post-whore's which does exactly what in the end? Useless posts can get removed. If it gets too much the guy can get banned. If he does get a higher post count its not exactly gonna make him the worlds richest man or the guy who got a nice job becaouse he wrote short posts on a forum.

Basicly. My opinion is that supports to a rulethread that is already implemented should be taken as spam while +Support -Support to a Suggestion in a Factionthread should just be taken as a vote. If you vote for someone as president you dont write WHY. You have your reasons.

Again. For people not to flame this post for whatever reason, ive had my fair share of those. I will agree that this is a serious issue and should be dealt with in some way. But maybe we should just sit down and talk with the people who write -Support instead of making them look like they are bad people.

Okay, here's something for you _CHILDREN_ and _OTHER ASS TARDS_ need to fucking learn.

I'm with Plunger here, I think the majority of posters in suggestions threads are retarded, for said reason.

Secondly,

Quote from: INTERNETS

Constructive criticism is criticism kindly meant that has a goal of improving some area of another’s person’s life or work. Often constructive criticism refers specifically to the critique of someone else’s written or artistic work, in perhaps a teacher/student setting, that would allow that person to further improve the work or to improve their approach to future endeavors. However, constructive criticism can also apply to a critical reasoned analysis of a person’s behavior, as in a patient/therapist setting or a group therapy setting.

Personally it's pissed me off to the state of requesting an application to fuckin POST in those sections.

about 5 years ago, I took a pledge on the The Specialists forums, to post constructively. I've followed through with that plede ever since and I'm glad I did.

I think people should take that pledge, or atleast have a forum group that allows you to post in those topics, and limit it to the general public (posting, not voting or seeing).

Atleast as it may sound, that's my view.
