New "Rate this Comment" Option?

09/18/2008 11:43 PM

Hello all,

I have been browsing CR4 for quite some time now, and one thing I have noticed is that there is a preponderance of bad puns. I propose that the Admin folks create an additional "Rate this Comment" option to better handle this deluge. In addition to "Good Answer" and "Off-Topic," I submit to you all that "Bad Pun" should be added to the list as well. What say you, my friends?

I believe at least half of the Bad Puns came from me. I would agree to the Bad Pun vote procedure as soon as there is a Bull _hit vote procedure. Most of my bad puns have been relegated to Off Topic. I know they are. And if that is what the body of CR4 wants, so be it. But the distinguished people that come on CR4 to spew forth their scam businesses in the guise of Science, or Engineering, should be at least as off topic.

don't hog it all, there enough for the rest of us, a BS vote would be nice, but I think that would take away from CR4 and CR4 would become less respected........

Theres enough good intellegent people here to form their opinion on what is BS.

Bob, I did not notice all, considering all the answers you have given to my questions

See there you go. I could not rate that as a bad pun, so I had to go with off topic, even though it really was on topic....

And I gave you a GA because that's exactly what I'm talking about! Especially if you read the "Cooking Onions" Challenge; we could really use it there...
