It just seems kind of pointless and redundant to me. In my opinion people who agree should either post that they agree and explain why or refrain from posting since someone has already made the point.
Thoughts? |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Boston | | | In all seriousness, on another forum I visit they've banned +1's entirely and the level of intelligent responses has gone way up as a result.
Here's how they framed the rule:
Post only in a way that contributes to the discussion at hand. Posting constructive criticism and helpful suggestions is a great way to contribute to our community. Bumping old threads, posting "pluswan", "+1" or one-liners, and arguing aren't and will result in warnings, suspensions, or other actions.
...again, this is just a thought. |

I think there may be other issues around here keeping the intel factor in the lower registers 
and I'm thinking +1 isn't one of them |

If I wanted to have meaningful, intelligent discussion, I wouldn't be on the internet.
