Please take a minute to know something about the person

[rzemanfl]

whose post you intend to recommend.

[Ptah]

1. How?

[niyad]

5. A look at their profile, maybe look at their last five listed postings.

[Ptah]

13. Why not just recommend a post based on the content, not personality?

[niyad]

14. Intent is important as well. You can recommend based on any

criteria you like.

2. Wut?

[rzemanfl]

4. I always read profiles of people whose usernames

are unfamiliar.

[leftstreet]

6. Most people rec the content

[rzemanfl]

10. I am saying-

consider the source.

3. You bet

check out if the poster is from St. Petersburg, Florida or Russia.

Bots usually have exquisite resume's.

7. What is this about?

Although it is not bad advice, I have to wonder what prompted this OP in GD.

[rzemanfl]

8. Watch for a PM.

I am not sure I can answer on the board without violating a rule.

[MineralMan]

9. OK, but starting a thread without any explanation doesn't work.

Not at all.

[rzemanfl]

12. I disagree. n/t

[rzemanfl]

15. I see that the OP that started all this has been removed.

Maybe having four hides will deter that person from stirring things up among the angriest folks here.

[hamsterjill]

16. Same here.

Would love an explanation so that I can fully understand. Thanks.

[rzemanfl]

17. I did not alert on the post. I don't know what happened.

The post disappeared with the hide. It was suggesting a lot of actions that would be exactly what the regime wants so it can declare martial law.

11. Well, I'd appreciate a PM as well--as I don't follow...

What has prompted (though as others have posted, it doesn't seem like bad advice in general)..
