Green Balls

Hey fellas, 

Just want to mention this sort of as a public service announcement. All of us wish we had a full complement of little green balls. But the only way you get those is if someone nominates you for being helpful. I see all the time that people come in and ask for information they could find themselves. Or maybe they couldn't find it and need a little help. Someone will come in and drop in info right in their lap for them.

Well, how about we encourage their "helpful attitude" by giving them green balls? No one wants to ask for them. Green balls are sort of an "atta-boy" for helping others with useful information. So if someone helps you out, click on their balls and give them a +1. Thanks for listening. Public service announcement closed. Returning to your regularly scheduled programing.

When I saw the post-title, I was prepared to respond with, “Dude, get to a doctor!”

Never really noticed the balls before, but ur right. Some questions are so vague that you you don’t know where to start, Ex;

”Which springer is the best?” Etc

You’ll bend your neck out of shape helping out some newby who can’t be bothered to respond with a simple “Thanx!”.

Good idea there, and maybe simple courtesy can make a comeback.
 
According to your theory Crusher you should have given me at least 3 green balls for all the help I gave you...and now that I think about it if everyone I have helped on this forum with advice and instructions and tutorials gave me just one green ball I would have several hundred by now. I am exaggerating to make the point that when we help someone there are no strings attached because we give with no thought of recompense as Jesus taught us to do. So either give or don't give but don't expect people to express their gratitude very often or you will be often disappointed.

As far as the green balls in general go it probably started out with the best intentions for us to be able to judge the veracity of the info we get from total strangers...but like everything else it quickly becomes political and completely unfair. I am going to give you a + right now Crusher just because I think you contribute a lot of love to this forum brother! 

Much love, Chuck

Yep Chuck.. I actually gave you 2 Pluses for your help way back. And I tried to word that message so as to help people see it is a simple courtesy thing. I said "no one wants to ask for them". I don't expect that everything I offer as help to others deserves a +1. In fact I expect nothing. I was simply trying to encourage others to say "thank you" at least, for the help of others who want to see the sport grow.

And thank you for the kind words. It means more to me than my green balls :)

I agree wholeheartedly with you center-cut regarding your point about people doing this bulpoop anonymously! Whether it is required or not some of the Punks on this form need to grow a set of balls and put their name on their complaint so the person knows who it is coming from. If you want to see the worst in people let them be anonymous... stop and remember what happened in Nazi Germany when people were allowed to snitch on their neighbors and remain anonymous.

Personally I think Michael should consider deleting that entire aspect of his forum. There's another side to this and that's that there are certain people that have been around here for a long time that have many many friends to give them a plus Mark every time you turn around, just so their friend can accumulate a lot of balls... Like some bullpoop reward system.

As far as I'm concerned they can take all my green balls and hang them on their Christmas tree and leave me completely neutered for all I care. I didn't come here to be somebody... I was already a somebody long before I got here.

Best regards, Chuck


 
Yes, a third ball would really get in the way...

Let me suggest that when you do give a green (or red) ball, that you put your user name at the end. The past couple months I started that, and anyone that’s got one from me has seen C’Cut at the end...

I agree completely- from now on I’ll put C’Cut at the end of my red balls as well. 😁
 
I got two red balls from the same guy (I know who you are!) and one was for a post I was supposed to have made in a topic I was never even in! I asked about those red balls. Was told these delectable little red and green morsels are on the honor system. HEHEHE I thought.........So if we got a group together we could green ball each other till we are maxed out then red ball each other back down, It appears a red ball is like an "Oh poop" and they eat away at you green balls! Lets all red ball ole Joe Wayne and see what happens to all those green balls.

You have to admit ole Joe has quite a following partly because he is such a swell guy and has one of those personality's that you just want to be around. I have known some Texans just like him over the years and I can tell you for a fact that Joe Wayne Rhea is the real McCoy...no artifice or put on there. He is the real deal down to his roots! And if I read him right, I doubt very much if he gives two poops for a bunch of green balls. He can be a little too profane at times but that's just Joe...take it or leave it. I can't wait for him to chime in here on this subject...that should be entertaining to say the least.

Best regards, Chuck
