Whatever happens with Unrec, could we get the ugly PLUS signs off the Greatest Page?

Most of us who passed 6th-grade math know that "30 votes" equals "+30 votes".

3. It's a simple aesthetic comment. Please unbunch your panties.

8. I'm definitely not the one whose panties are in a bunch, lol. Look
in the mirror for that. Your posts whining about "unrec" are pitiful.

10. This is my only OP about UNREC
Are those panties perhaps over your eyes?

23. Perhaps your only OP on the topic, but your hundredth whine.

24. Once again, wrong. You're really making a habit of this
And making yourself look quite the creepy little stalker in the process.

2. (shrug) I mentioned in Skinner's original thread that if they're not going to display neg unrecs....
Then the + sign for postively rec'd threads served no purpose.

14. It's admittedly a small nit, but it's also an easy fix
And it would make the Greatest Page look a lot less 2003-ish.

This is seriously something that bothers you? Tell me your post is sarcasm.

5. Actually, I also find it distracting and redundant.

Some people are. I am constantly amazed at the extent. Never gave that little + sign a first thought, let alone a second thought. Oh well. :shrug:

9. You're right. Especially since all of your posts have dealt with profound, universe-shaking ideas

But clearly that little + sign is of much more concern than I ever could have imagined. Carry on. I'm going to yard sales anyway. Will see if the + sign is the next big DU dust-up when I get back.

15. I didn't realize you had a point.
Aside from just venting random hostility at a throwaway post.

7. Someone's always got to complain about something.
Now it's ugly plus signs... how trivial.

12. What's the minimum threshold of profundity necessary before a DU post is permitted?
Were you HERE for Michael Jackson week?

16. Clearly, there is no minimum threshold.
Yeah, I was here for MJ. That was brutal also. :shrug:

17. So what's wrong with wanting to make our site look a little better?
I mean, if you like the new + signs, that's certainly your right. But I don't understand people jumping on this thread to say I shouldn't post about it.

Forget I said anything. It was nitpicky of me to nitpick your nitpick. My bad.

25. If you have a + sign, you should have a - sign and a number...
to get a true feel of how many people vote against the thread.

26. Yeah, I think we should have kept the negative count as well
My guess is that most prominent posters would get at least a few negative votes no matter what they post. The result of the more juvenile DUers carrying out personal vendettas. See kestrel's posts above as an example.

28. And yet, you posted on it
If only we had some way to hide a thread we didn't like... Maybe we should ask Elad to implement that next.
