FPSB's post thumbing system is designed to reward good posting and rectify poor posting through compulsory feedback. As an FPSB member, you have the power to influence our community's future by encouraging good quality and discouraging poor quality.


If you consider a post thought provoking, funny, well written, comprehensive, interesting or helpful, you should give it a thumbs up, even if you disagree with it.


When thumbing down, your reason must relate to a post's quality. If it is inadequate, incoherent, childish, of poor English, non-English, spam, advertising, off topic, inappropriate or unconstructive, you should give it a thumbs down.

Thumbing down due to a grievance, dispute or for general dislike is not permitted.

Thumbing down for reasons other than post quality (such as for disagreement) is not permitted.

Thumbing up or down in collaboration with others is not permitted. Thumbing is to be performed independently, based on your judgement.

Thumbing another user or a buddy as a favor or to show appreciation is not permitted.

Thumbing in exchange for points or other rewards is not permitted.

Thumbing against a trend only in order to reverse it is not permitted.

Users requesting thumbs' up either in their profile (etc) or within their posts is not permitted.

Non-compliance with any of the aforementioned rules may result in EventCast warnings, offending thumbs being canceled, the user's thumb being snapped, the user's cLvL being frozen, removal of the user's thumbs and/or a reset of their thumb count and cLvL. These punitive measures are listed in order of severity and will be determined at an admin's discretion.
