| Posted: | | | | I would like the ability to increase the number of green arrows I give daily. I often run out and have to wait until the next day to thank someone with a greenie. Sooo...please give me more! |

| Posted: | | | | Personal opinion here... but I think there should be no limit on how many green arrows you can give (on different posts of course... 1 per post is plenty!) I mean if you feel a post is good and worthy of a green arrow you should be able to do it. Not have to worry about if you are going to run out before the day is over. | | | Pete |

| Posted: | | | | Limited resources are usually deemed to be more valuable. It forces one to make choices. When you get one of a person's rare green arrows, you know they really meant it. As the grateful recipient of a bunch of them, it makes me appreciate them all the more. (Edit: But yeah, I often also run out ...) | | | Thanks for your support. Free Plugins available here.

There are simply too many good posts on here on a daily basis for five greens. Even though red arrows aren't really counted now (right Ken?!), we can still give out 30 of those per day. | | | Corey |

I am waiting for "smartass" to be a description & effect. then i'll step up on those forum posts! i am really so holding back right now it's not even funny. (am i the only "normal" user to post on this topic?) |

| Posted: | | | | I would also like the number increased, when you start a common name thread you always need more than you have |

| Posted: | | | | TBH, I've never run out of green arrows. But that's because I reserve them for posts in the tech support, contribution and feature request forums. For me, to deserve a green arrow, the posting must have some feasible value, like an answer in the tech support that helps someone with a problem, or a great plugin, or a feature request where I think that's a great idea. I don't hand out green arrows just because someone copied an image URL from icanhascheezburger.com into a certain topic here. | | | Karsten DVD Collectors Online

Neither do I... matter of fact I don't even go to those threads. But I still seem to run out a lot. I normally give them to people that vote no... showing me something I missed in a contribution, helped someone with a problem, Added something that helps the community (plug-in, hosting re-release cover scans and so on) | | | Pete |

But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| Posted: | | | | Quoting Kathy: Quote: I just found out that one can give 30, yes 30, red arrows a day. I definitely want more green arrows now! That was introduced when the Moderation trial was brought in. The red arrow doesn't directly effect your rating now but is a way of reporting the post. Edit: On topic, I don't see a problem with increasing the number of greens per day a bit. I probably wouldn't make it that high though for the reasons hinted at above which is that some will just use them on the "junk" threads where the actual post is just of a cat, dog, etc.... | | | Last edited: by Ardos |
