thumbs up versus shields, page-2

"a shield is earned for 1000's of low value, low content posts....or zilch criteria, ie just high number of posts"

Kincella,I have already posted the shields are pretty meaningless except to show the high level of input/posting on HC. I prefer no shields. Of course your quote above cannot be left unchallenged. How presumptious of yourself to imply that just because someone posts a lot there posts have to be of low value,low content posts or zilch criteria.

While I would prefer not have a shield its still wrong for you to tag others posts as having to be of low content simply because they may post more often than others. Such a view insults posters who similarly hold the silver shield and also the gold shield as they are also based on numbers. We never asked for shields and I for one dont want them. Good luck if you can arrange its removal.
