@stanleybmanly I suppose lurvre totals amount to a combination of length of time on the site and frequency of participation, but even that’s fairly useless, since there’s no way to determine which of either is more prevalent in the totals.
That is the rub, the length of time or frequency or activity in the Lagoon is useless unless other feel free to ”grace” you with “Atta Boys”. If there was really truly a repugnant member who avoided getting banned and no matter how often they commented, or asked a question, if the cliques or greater members at large never patted them on the back no matter how good or bad their answers or question was, they would crawl like a snail getting only 1 lurve for logging in two days in a row; that is the ONLY lurve they can do out of their own pocket.
The revelation that it is the most active members and those of greatest seniority that will be stripped of the privilege of bestowing and receiving the Lurve from those who have given the most or served the longest renders the system insulting.
I do not think that point is made clear in any of the links I read, nor the fact that just showing up or being active gains one anything, had I known that from the start…….”pass”, I would have been off somewhere else even if they are defunct now.
