Others users (not me) have been flooding the market with humor and funny jokes that I cannot compete with violate rules on international posting, namely in the market of badposting.

From now on, posts must be 50% funnier to get my upbear. All other users must follow this rule as well, except for my posts, which you must now upbear on site to fix these market distortions. Obviously, my posts are superior, but the quality can not come through because users lack the freedom of choice to upbear in a market dominated by users who are not me.

Thank you.

      Great question, these decisions are never made lightly, so a lot of thought went into this number to ensure the greatest amount of fairness - and we believe this number makes things 45% more fair. Not ideal, but a great start to this economic dialogue.

      In terms of that 50% figure, well, we folk from the older generation got a saying, it goes "60% of the time, it works everytime". Now this doesn't make much sense on the surface, but the same idea applies here. I'm sure readers will catch on to my meaning here.

      Again, thanks for the excellent question.
