She's right. A certain member used to just give people bad frubals for no
reason but that they disliked another.

well, was their any doubt in anyones mind that a system like that would not be abused?Malus01 said:
i love the frubal system, though i get sad when i think ive put up a really good post and it doesn't get frubal'd
though, i never use up all of my frubals - maybe if we all tried to give out more frubal's, the world would be, a better place!

I agree! I think frubal-usage has improved since our early days- people are much more understanding of what they are and how they work- but I'd like to push myself to remember to give out all my frubals every day!corrupt_priest said:

I wonder what would happen if there were no frubals..

I see. So the policy of positive encourangement is the only way to work, and negative punishment is not working. However, I suppose in this RF, there is still subtle negative punishment or control, but the authority is left to the admin only, and not to every participantsBastet said:

I did not even know what a frubal was, when I started posting in RF, until much much later, when I started looking up the rules of this RFMalus01 said:

Frubals are one of the endearing things about RF. I love reading WHY people liked my post. As for not being fruballed, oh well. Sometimes, people don't like what you said. The harder you try to get fruballed, the less it happens.

In my nearly 20 years (since 1987, back when command-line Delphi and Compuserve was "the bomb") of online forum discussion/debate experiences, REF was (and remains) my only (past or present) forum of membership participation that allows other members to recognize excellence, novelty, humor, or overall quality of contributions.
From a purely personalized perspective, I think "frubals" are an interesting and worthy concept that other forums of similar nature should embrace and implement in due course, especially as they may provide positive reinforcement of efforted: insight, reflection, research, revelation, and exposition.
"Frubals" also allow "lurkers" to acknowledge quality posts without having to contribute to a thread themselves (which may or may not be a "good" or a "bad" thing ;-)).
Let's be candidly honest.
People participate in discussion/debate forums (for the most part) to accommodate a "need to be heard" outside of their everyday circle of influence. Active participation in such forums is motivated either by veritable interest in expanding one's own sphere of understanding, or in sharing perspectives that the contributor deems of especial merit or value to others. Both are self-serving, egotistical motivations, though the former aspect seeks provision of illumination, while the latter seeks either validation or vindication (or sometimes, lent erudition/clarification/enlightenment to dispel naive ignorance, unwarranted supposition or suspicion, or outright debunkings of false claims/assumptions/assertions).
In all earnest sincerity, my motivations are rooted in all of the ascribed rationales outlined above (to greater or lesser degrees), and I'm not ashamed to publicly confess such.
My ego strokes my intellect just enough to acknowledge that I have many things yet to discover, but that in keeping accumulated experience and acquired wisdom to oneself is - in and of itself - an egotistically self-gratifying//validating act of selfishness and covetousness.
My ego compels me to participate within online discussion/debate forums not solely in the purpose of "sharing what I know (or think I know)", but in challenging my own pre-conceived conclusions and perspectives...in the humbling realization that I'm not really as smart, experienced, or wise as the very next person that may come along and challenge (even alter?) my very own confident conclusions.
Whatever a given member's motivations in acquiring ever more "frubals"...the concept of a "community" of support and, validated interest in any member's contributions, are both and all commensurately advanced in positive measures.
