Guest Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 Just noticed the ability to react to ones own posts including voting them up with a 'greenie' seems to have made a return. This was disabled a while ago so I'm presuming it's returned as part of a recent update. Seems daft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be a strange thing to do, but then there's strange folk around! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracy D'arth Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 Seems like a good idea to me, the only way I will ever get greenies. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just an observation about something that existed previously that was previously removed. However it clearly mattered enough for you to comment.

mrsmelly Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 The greenies thing is a nonsense anyway. A year or three ago I found there was a score board thingy for them. The highest numbers are by people on the politics section so not even boating related. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only not boat related, but posts in that section do not increase your post count. A person can be at the top of the board with 150 likes and only ever made 100 posts.

A person can be at the top of the board with 150 likes and only ever made 100 posts. It's quite telling. Most of the participants in that section have post counts in their thousands, meaning they regularly participate in other sections of the forum but one poster in particular has a post count of 666 despite the fact they seem to spend most of their life on Canalworld and must make up to 40 or 50 posts per day (in the politics section). Another has just over a thousand posts yet seems to spend the vast majority of the time posting there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckcab79 Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 I suppose it matters to some but I’ve never really cared what emoji reaction my posts get I’m only here for the info. Likewise the ‘scores’ and ‘ranking’. Mind you it’s the first forum I’ve ever used where there’s an ‘unimpressed’ emoji. 😂😂😂 I will from now on by liking all my own posts though. 👍😂 @Rusty69 A master of comic timing. 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only truly worthwhile metric in my opinion is the greenies-to-posts ratio (excluding politics posts and greenies). Mine is pretty low really.

Machpoint005 Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 Since it's easy to see who has given a greenie, it's easy to see when a narcissistic loser has voted for his own post. That's on the assumption that somebody even cares, and actually bothers to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see some would do it for a joke but I can think of a couple not very bright narcissistic losers who would do it not realising everybody could see that they had.
