But first, we have different ways of seeing things. Understandably, you see who's articles get the most RECOMMENDed and whos articles have never been recommended.
But what striked me most was that only one post was recommended in the last 20 months. All other recommended posts are 21 month and older (almost 2 years).
So, to me it is even no longer a matter of who is and not recommended. To me this is an indication that a deliberate decision of being neutral was established.
I must say that I don't see why a debate forum should have recommended posts. A support forum yes. A debate, especially the more recent ones, have opposing views. How do you rate opposing views? Who decides who's right, who's wrong? By the number of votes?
