I guess I am just new. Why is it, when you take time out of your day...and decide to go on your computer to catch up on the SEC and it's awesomely fanatical fan bases, and their equally crazy opinions about anything that comes to their minds...that you can actually be "voted" for a stupid thing that you just happened to type, while just catching up and having a bit of fun? I don't get why "votes" are necessary here. Why judge?

Just look at the votes to decide if you want to read some retards diatribe or not.

Are you trying to set the downvote record with this thread?

Their whole purpose it to help the legion of LSU homers get as many positive A&M posts as possible moved or deleted. I'm pretty sure it says as much word for word in the rantard by-laws.

Because some people have a lot of their personal ego tied to this place.

So why not play into it to increase revenues?

i think it may be nearly physically impossible for an aggie to make a post without mentioning LSU

Why do you need to "vote" in the first place on this site? Does it make you seem like you are in authority?

To judge which fan base is disliked the most. For instance, check out the Arkansas & A&M fan posts.

It lets you know when a certain fanbase is rustled.

It's a self-monitoring system. Sometimes, you want upvotes. Sometimes, you want downvotes. Sometimes, you want a nice blend. I grade out at about 97%. Which is why I'm considered Tier 1. Don't even ask about Tiers.

I can't speak for Arkansas, but we're not on the market for a rival right now. You'll need to apply elsewhere.

Cause we are as mean and vicious a as a pack of piranhas. Never post a thread like this or we will eat you alive and laugh while we're doing it.

Shitty posts are not my problem. Up vote or down. That is not my job. But, I still don't get the whole "voting system" on here. My thread has many "down votes" right now....but, at the moment, it is gaining the most posts. How can you "vote" for something...up or down....so quickly?

Have another downvote on me.

I typically downvote Auburn posters just on general principal.
