CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHY THERE IS A THUMBS UP/THUMBS DOWN VOTING SYSTEM. I AM CONFUSED, I READ, WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A VERY NICE POST BY A CHIEF, WHO WAS A FIRST TIME USER. SOMEONE GAVE HIM A THUMBS DOWN. I HAVE ANSWERED A SIMPLE QUESTION ON A POST, AND RECEIVED A THUMBS DOWN.{I THINK THATS FUNNY}. I HAVE NOTICED WHEN A CERTAIN PERSON[OR 5] HE ALWAYS GETS THUMBS DOWN, BUT WHEN PEOPLE RAG ABOUT THIS CERTAIN PERSON, THEY GET THUMBS UP. IS THERE AN IN CROWD AND AN OUT CROWD IN THIS FOURM. I WAS JUST WONDERING.

THANKS FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTION. I THINK THE VOTING SYSTEM IS SILLY.

The thumbs up/down thing is a joke. What this board needs is a moderator. The stupid bickering that goes back and forth here is absurd. It's like a couple 9 year old boys bickering in the sandbox.

I touched on this very topic a few moments ago by pointing out the obvious in the "Posting Guidelines".   Follow this link (  http://forum.code3.net/2008/06/06/posting-guidelines-2/page1/#post1798707  ) and give your thumbs up or down if you wish.  I know a specific few who will jump at the chance to put the thumbs down and I hope they don't strain their fingers doing so... it would be such a tragic loss...  Cool

I use the old government rating system to work out what is a good post. You see in most government promotion applications if the candidate gets a glowing reference from their boss (thumbs up) that means they are keen to be rid of them.

I find the more thumbs down the more I like most of the posts, you see there are a certain group that share a common brain cell have infected this board (probably due to the number that have left that other place) who vote together to decide if you are cool or not (the same way 14 year school girls do). So don't worry about the thumbs up and down on your own posts, but make sure you give another that you like the thumbs up.....

I think the thumbs up/down idea is for guys like richyrich and one of our other favorites with multiple screen names to manipulate votes. More a classic style of government. But I have to agree with richyrich, the ones kicked off the other place have found a home here. Comfy and cozy.

richyrich,or RescueOz or any other screen names you choose to use, not everyone on this forum has multiple screen names to hide behind. This is the only one I need. Just like others that use multiple names, once you get caught you try to turn it around and make the guys that catch you out to be the villans. The only posts you make are to discredit other forum members that dont agree with you, talk badly about Code 3, talk badly about fireengines.net or insult the United States and its citizens. That is whay it is so easy to figure out your other screen names. When you are challanged, you will claim as you did in another post that it was someone else in Sydney, like you did on the ATEV site. That was some Aussie humor.

I agree, also, as stated before, if you keep up your hate posts and threats, you will be reported to the United States Homeland Security and be seen as a terrorist and put on the list. The list is VERY easy to get on too, so this is your fair warning.

Hate posts and threats??? WHO deems this...I haven't seen any of them.BUT, YOU are the ONLY ONE making threats...Add yourself to the list as it would only be proper.
When the TRUTH is STATED and VERIFIED by Moronic replys,It is NOT a Hate Post or Threat....It's the Frickin' TRUTH....
Think about it.....

Yes, saying your gonna send an armed man to C3's doorstep is not threatning at all. And I quote,

"The current email setup results in a bounced email. The main Funrise email is answered but nothing happens so I lodged a dispute with my credit card company since I have no way of telling if the items have been shipped and nobody wants to answer the questions emailed to them. Failing that I have an old workmate who is visiting the west coast at the moment. I wonder how Code 3 would deal with an Australian Army Military Police Officer turning up on their doorstep...." -will leave anonymous

If you view posts made by some of the members here that have to do with large amounts of anger towards C3, yes, there are threats. Im not going to point the spotlight, but It's pretty self explanatory by reading some posts on other topics. Also, how and when have I made threats?

Who said he was armed, does the US routinely allow soldiers of foreign nations to bear arms on US soil. Perhaps I should have asked how Code 3 would handle one of my workmates turning up on their doorstep whilst he was in LA on business to see if he could get the answers that non of us can. Much as I hate to agree with some of the others in this place, donmateo you seem to be playing with less than a full deck.....

Ring ANY bells???????

Also,WHERE does it state an ARMED person will be sent?? STOP READING THINGS THAT AREN'T THERE.....That IS a MAJOR Problem of yours.You read things that ARE NOT There!!!!

That was an error of mine, it was supposed to say, "...an armed forces man showing up at their doorstep."

And my post wasn't threatning, Im not going to report someone, but C3 might and considering that their have been bad things said about the U.S., the idea is not too far fetched. The point was to try and stop the threatning posts (the threats being directed at C3 and the U.S.).

With apologies to all the other dicks out there but donmateo you are a dick and a dick of the highest order. Not are you playing without a full deck but you also seem to have more than a full hand.....

Whilst you are reporting all the terrorists hiding under your bed (they are no doubt replacing all the Reds) to your government you might want to check who is one of the US's biggest allies in almost every battle since the Boer War. If you bought a model from any of the collectors here and it didn't arrive and the emails you sent bounced what would you do? If you had a friend (and that appears to be unlikely) who was visiting the area that the seller lived in would you get him to call round? I bet you would. Now let's get back to the topic - thumbs up & down voting.....

Come on Don.. C3 wont be reporting aybody, do you really think they have time or care about that.... come on, it seems more to me, that you are trying to police this board, when you find something to reply to.. are you going for the highest count of non saying and non meaning posts on here..

If you don´t have any thing wise to say, just shut up in stead. you don´t have to comment every single post in here. people are getting tired of it.... do you see a tread in the answers to your posts.... stop while the game is fine, not when you have kicked the referee in the nuts...... so to speak....

Have to agree with the guys on this one. your making this and other treads to something that isen´t there....

when thats said, why don´t we all try to use this board as C3 had in mind, a place to discuss our hobby, and not all lot of crap.... sometimes this is like in preschool.... :-)
