You (yes you) can make CelticsBlog better

Nobody should really give a crap about TP's.

OK -so are they a "reward", or are they "pointless"?

It begs the question, why are they there?

can't they be both?

in fact THEY ARE BOTH

A pointless reward

An attaboy

A random act of kindness...whatever

You're missing my point: the non-act of giving a TP is an act of non-kindness.  It marginalizes insightful contribution over time (see Brickowski's alarmingly low ratio).  It's really a shame. 

Please don't take it personally Redz.  Things like the Over-Under game and other things you guys run that give TPs are fun.  But I still believe overall that they are adding more negative than positive to the site.

Sorry to hijack this thread btw.

Absolutely not taking it personally Brick.

I see your point, I just don't know that it's a case of one or the other.  A quality post is no less good whether it gets a TP or not. A TP for a good post has no more or less value than a TP for a chuckle or winning a contest or whatever.  The value is all perceived.

I see them as harmless fun, but I do also see how they have added to some resentment somehow.

I don't have the answer.  I like em.

Have a TP for the hell of it.

Maybe if we gave out $20 bills instead of TPs we'd use them more sparingly.

Nothing is wrong with the games - I was unclear.  The games are cool.

The TP reward system is what I said was hurting overall.

I'm outta here, it's too nice out!!

Edit: let me know where I can cash in my TPs and I will stop complaining about them

Wow...I must say that if the main discussion on how we can improve the CB is about TPs then you guys have done a very good job with the site.  I try not to post too much on here, but I figured you guys deserve some praise to combat all the poo that has been flying all over the place this week.  I rarely give TPs, but TP to you Jeff and co. for keeping this site top notch.

tp's are nothing more than a novelty.  i much prefer to give them to people than receive them.  people give them for different reasons.  personally, i give them for insightful posts, posts i strongly agree with, or most often....when they make me laugh.

tp's stay imo

Do you think anyone will suspect a conspiracy if you're TP count jumps 1 million after 1 guess?

(my goal today: make everyone on CB a little bit happier by upping their TP count)

(PS: no need to give me a tp for that  )

ummm...disclaimer:  I don't have the actual jelly bean count and I will not be awarding 1 million TPs...I'm getting carpal tunnel syndrome just thinking about it.

negative TPs.... those were the good old days.
It was not a sad day for me when CB removed that feature.

idea to make CB better, especially as of late...
