Results: People who have differing opinions are indirectly encouraged to remain quiet. People who don’t know what’s going on post anyway – on the popular side – to earn brownie points. Of course, some do post what they think – in length – if they agree with the majority.
Therefore, I don’t believe you get an accurate impression of how the majority of people are feeling.
The system may be fine and even add some fun for the player side of things, but it’s not neccessarily appropriate for business discussions.
That is why I prefer to discuss business here at CAP.
Exactly. I don’t think this is being pedantic either. Most of what is discussed at forums like these is business related or @ least money orientated.
I’ve simply gauged my opinions on the number of posts that some people make. I’ve asked myself on many occasions, is X post useful or is it just hot air. 50% of the time it’s regurgitated dribble trying to gain “brownie points”.
Like you Fergie, I much prefer to discuss what affects me in this industry here. At time things can get heated, but, at least you know people here at CAP are being genuine.
