DU Unrec Bot

[denem]

OPEN DU OP$
if OP$ search, "Obama"= yes
rec = -1; (unless;
{OP$ search ="losing"; or
OP$ search ="sold out"; or
OP$ search ="base"; or
OP$ search ="lied"; or
OP$ search ="DLC" ; etc}
= yes
then rec = +1)
end if
rec = -1
end.

Brain dead coding,
but then an Unrec Bot
is just code
after all.

1. This thread is brain dead. Unrecommend.

[denem]

2. end if, rec = -1, end.

3. How do you account for the flippin accidental ones?

I swear there should be a confirm or they need to separate those buttons a tad.

So um... my apologies for the fat fingers and a kick.

4. EBM&D = Error between mouse and display

or what ever the acronym is for user error.

5. PEBCAK n/t

6. Thats it.

(Ah to good old days)

[JTFrog]

7. Damn, did I just tell my age?

:P

[denem]

8. Nah. I remember it from a former life.

My all time favorite "I can't print".
Sometimes I said, "Do you have a pen"?

[elocs]

12. That's a valid point since we are required to confirm poll choices.

A Rec/UnRec confirmation should eliminate accidental choices.

13. +1

9. Good one...n/t

Rec.

10. It's an explantion for some the unrecs I've seen.

But then maybe Joe Lieberman gets on the board sometimes.

11. actually, the opposite is (true)

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

14. What a strange fantasy -- the truth is the opposite

[high density]

15. Some people seem to be using the unrec feature instead of "hide thread"

The feature seems rather worthless given the way people use it. I thought the idea was to put great threads on the greatest page. Unfortunately everything is voted "greatest" by some, while nothing is "greatest" to others. I mean just going down this forum, at least 75% of the threads must qualify for the greatest page... It helps weed out the most worthless crap but it's not good for finding "greatest" anymore.

20. Your Script-Fu is Weaksauce

[denem]

21. It's elementary school spaghetti sauce.

[Moochy]

23. I wrote a scriptmonkey script once to hide threads by keyword on DU

Writing one to unrec certain posters automagically would be a dawdle. ;-) I prefer to read the posts before I rec/unrec.

22. DTB {unrec}>1

[xultar]

24. UNFUCKINGRECOMMEND. GODDAMNIT. WTF? DUers BITCHING about the Unrec feature

WHEN WILL THE SHIT FUCKING END?

[NYC_SKP]

25. LOL!!!!

well ranted- Happy New Year!

:party:

[Lilith Velkor]

27. It won't. Every feature that is meant to cut down on drama creates its own drama.

[TexasObserver]

28. Because the melodramatic WILL be melodramatic.

This is a tantrum going on its 7th or 8th month, isn't it?

The carping about unrecommends is astonishing. Do these people surround themselves with others who capitulate to such chronic complaining?
