""jange?.whoooo,that took me 40minutes..lol...doesnt help when he post all the place..."
""everybody was wiped off last night sometimes,except you,you had 75 posts,someone, saying no names,put you all bck up there,it took them 2 hours....lol...." - to Jange
"dont think ille ever learn this lot,the rules are always changing...but jange will be back to no1 spot in 5..?..."
""jange deserves to stay there,so guess we'll all be juggling ourselves around below him,market manipulation lse stye..lol...how old are we..ha ha"

That is precisely why we are re-vamping the system.
We don't support or discriminate against any Member, but the Recommend Post function - if it is to remain - needs to highlight and give credit to the sharing of quality opinions/info, rather than a playground mentality whereby a group of friends recommend (propel) themselves to the top few positions permanently.
I'll have to ask for your trust on this.

"We don't support or discriminate against any Member"
May I draw to your attention to the fact that I am STILL unable to either rec posts or report posts. That makes it over 2 weeks now, whilst all the while those who continue to propel themselves to the top places of that leaderboard have been free to continue doing so throughout. This situation doees not support your statement regading discrimination/impartiality.

I'm having a wry smile as you know exactly why you are unable to post!
Your abuse of the system via your 'experiment' did not help. I am sure that all LSE visitors would rather our staff were able to work on improving the site, rather than dealing with such actions.
This thread is now locked. All the best.
