Is this a new thing? After finding appropriate posts to put some red thumbs to i got a little remeinder that said 'Sorry only 5 thumbs per day' wats with that ?or haven't I been as active with my thumbs as i was today previously.Whats the chance of a warning "Warning you're down to two thumbs for todays allocation" or a little thumb box at the top of the page that flashes when you're down to only a couple of thumbs

is this part of the whole new "touchy feely lets be nice to each other' seabreeze"thing
Is there a problem with thumb spam? thats gotta be a new term for wiki eh!

What seemed to be a great innovation for seabreeze at the time is now heading down the sad path of censorship

here's another idea but not original .Maybe have a flamers paradise and a "I love yas all" section for the thumbers that are having withdrawal symptoms from only being allowed 5 thumbs and can throw thumbs around like there is no tomorrow

how a bout a bit of democracy around here .If it is true Here's ya new avatar Laurie

The thumb limit is for the spammers. We looked at the stats, and 5 seemed to be a fair number. We wanted it to be on the reds only, but technology prevents it for the short term.

There are a minority of kiters who visit here who's goal seems to be to ridicule and belittle others for their own enjoyment. Nothing to do with kiting.

Imagine these people go on a kite trip with new friends in a car. Do they sit in the back seat and be pricks to everybody?

We're all in this together. When you're in a trouble on the water, it's usually another kiter who's going to save your bacon. Same should apply in these forums.

Enjoy ..

My apologies for what was supposed to be a bit of a laugh (please note winks through the post and at end of the post)I can understand that thumbspam can offend .I realise that the photo of young stalin went too far which is why i removed it (The picture of Zurg remains (for those who don't understand he is buzz lightyeaars nemisis) I will try to refrain from future taunts from the back of the classroom[;) ] (Please note this is a wink .in Australia a wink usually means 'I'm kidding mate please don't take it too seriously)" is there such a thing as a tongue in cheek smily (probably not ! it might be interpreted as something else.I did find this for tongue in cheek -) seems pretty inoffensive but seems a bit vague ,this is where I found it www.entity.cc/ICONS/free-emoticons.htm)

WTF. 5 thumbs. i would use them all up, in one topic. limiting the thumbs is not the best option.

PS. does everyone only get 5 thumbs, or just a select few.
