Love Farming, How Lame . . .

I will contend that some of it is decent, but come on! The thing has 20 loves >.> at least right now. I would be fine if it was legitimate, but man . . . look at some of those usernames:

insanelymac
googledocs
flexnotificat
digitalweb
digitalblasph
desktopteam
clagnut
malarkey
aigadesign
cssgarden
alistapart
MacTV
et cetera

Some of that might be legitimate, but all of that? I don't think so. Plus, there is not a single comment on it. And we thought that one person loving their own stuff was bad . . . Are there any good solutions to this?

The site hasn't removed subs for this type of behavior in the past.

Agree, until self love or "love farming" (good description) is officially declared a bad thing to do, people can and will do it, including some people posting their outrage in this thread.

I'm sure there's a lot of much more sneaky love farming going on all the time.

In the end it's not a big deal, really. Think of it as a way to weed out the weak personalities and fragile egos from the people you choose to associate with here.

When I read the title of this I was confused.
Thought you were bashing farmers or something, and came in for some lulz, however very different lulz were delivered.
Thank you, good sir.

I never saw this piece in the popular submissions - what was the time zone for the loves?

Ah, well. I was just pointing out it out. It just seemed a bit crazy that someone would do it like they did, that's all. Plus that and it seemed a bit lame. But yeah, that's good advice.

There's also no rule against pointing it out when people do it. :)

Click the "Latest" tab (located on top) and you can see just about everything that everyone is doing on Custo' (except for comments in threads, who's viewing what, and a few other things).

... Wow ... I missed this. That's amazing. I mean, gosh, why go through the trouble of signing up with 20 different emails and making 20 different accounts to give yourself love on a piece of crap? WHO HAS THE TIME TO DO THAT?!

C72 is right. I think it needs to be outlined though. It's wasted space to have those users signed up. And Excess you ish a funny one. ;P

Actually. I think there ought to be user purging, like if you have no comments, profile info, subs, etc. after 6 months to a year you get deleted.

It would save space, and give peole a chance to use some of the good already taken names.
