Funny/Sad Story.

Went for a checkup at a dentist. Told me have to come back another time as I have 2 cavities. And couldn't do it on the spot. Came back few days later, was 15 minutes late, was told sorry, you're too late, can't be seen. I tried debating, nothing helped. So I reluctantly rebooked...   Came back, dentist filled 1 cavity, said doesn't have time for second one. So I made yet another appt..... Later that day, 3 hours later to  be exact, bit into a banana (a relatively soft food), guess what? The filling came out!! So decided not going back to that dentist.. And made an appt at diff dentist and made sure both cavities would be filled same day, and they said yes ofc it will be same day.  I come there, dentist is looking at my teeth and I show him my two cavities... Doesn't see how it's cavities. Tells me to call other dentist to email the X-rays.. Did so, looks at the x rays, still sees nothing. So he takes his own x rays, still sees nothing. His son who is also a dentist in same practice looks at my teeth, still sees nothing.!!!

Can't get over this.

I think you have to wait at least 24 hours before deciding that a post didn't get enough likes.

Pretty safe assumption that a thread called "Good Dentist" isn't going to get the visibility a post like that deserves.

The idea (to me) is to point people to a post they missed for whatever reason, such as being buried in a thread most don't care to click onto

From the BoardGameGeek comments on a recently announced game:

Fo_95
I played Rebirth at a playtesting event in Malta. The publisher brought a prototype and asked if we would like to play. The art was not finished but what I saw was really beautiful. The game has a certain feel-good factor to it. I found it very easy to learn and starts off quite relaxed but then ramped up to tense moments at the end. I really enjoyed it. I can't wait to see the end product and to play again ^^

santacruzsteve
Rating this a "1" to offset the publisher's rating of a "10". (I checked the guy out). They are just trying to
generate hype to increase sales. I guess this is normal, but it's not a realistic rating of the actual game.

Dopeski
Rating this a "10" to offset some random dude's rating of a "1". (I checked the guy out). They are just trying
to generate hate to decrease sales. I guess this is normal, but it's not a realistic rating of the actual game.

svinepelz
Rating it a 10 to offset the 1 that was supposed to offset the 10 that
was supposed to offset the 1 that was supposed to offset the 10.

biasedisland
I checked the guy out, too. Rating it a 10 to offset the 1 that was supposed to offset the 10 that
was supposed to offset the 1 that was supposed to offset the 10 that was supposed to offset the 1.
[Ed.: Chad gadya, chad gadya!]

jmsmith2434
Rating this a "5" to offset some random dude's rating of a "6". (I checked the guy out). They are just trying
to generate apathy to steady sales. I guess this is normal, but it's not a realistic rating of the actual game.

[At this point, santacruzsteve adds the following to his above comment:]
EDIT: you "10" guys are really funny! It's awesome! I guess your manager at your company told you guys to let me have it!

cosomus
Checked the guy out, who checked the "10" out, who checked the "1" out and giving it a rock solid 5
so it stays in the middle, TILL new information are shared, like overall design, gameplay and story.

Speckbutler
I checked out the guy rating it a 5. Ended up confused and found nothing. Rated it a 6 by accident.

ropearoni4
[Ed.: Including this because I'm pretty sure he's confidently spouting nonsense.]
Laughing at the offsets of the 1 and 10s. The algorithm used will not take the 1 or 10s into consideration.
It usually lops off the top and bottom for the ranking. It will help the ratings but not bgg rank much.
It's knizia [Ed.: The designer's surname], should be a good time at the table.

Lighthorse6
Rating this a 5 to offset some other dude’s rating of 5. Have no idea about the game though…

tawiiams
Rating this a 10 because October is my favorite month.
