I had to stop runnning a year ago because i have a torn meniscus in my right knee.....i need to get it fixed but i keep putting it off. when the torn piece gets displaced it gives me lots of pain and makes my knee swell up... but i found one weird trick to fix it. I find the lump on side of knee where the cartilage is sticking out and i push on it with all my force and it pops back in!

That sounds really awful. It sounds painful for one, and it is really a bummer that you're unable to run. I hope you can get it fixed soon. I like to run every day, tomorrow's run is dedicated to you!!

Reward vs. Punishment. It's easy to use negative reinforcement... but could we get better results from POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT.. like making sure to sticky good threads, cool mod challenges, etc! Maybe mailing people little prizes? I have no idea.

I tried the reward system (I even rewarded you with some socks at one point). It doesn't seem to work as well as negative reinforcement, unless you're willing to put a ton of work into it (thinking up challenges/rewards/fun trinkets). Maybe that's where you will succeed. I know you have the potential to be great, I just hope you also have the stamina to keep it up after months of these people's crap.

hi i'm also gnarly hotep i reward posters i've been cooking up this idea where i reward good post by quoting them and writing "zippity-doo-doo excellent job" it's kind of an empty quote plus if u will people can keep track of their good posts and we'll have a hall of ame

Oh I know some people liked it, I got plenty of positive feedback. It's all the negative crap that outweighed it for me. That and I have an actual job and life which made the little time I had to spend on forums janitorial duties not worth it. But again, SWB is a different sort of cat than me, maybe he has the time and fortitude to make it work for him.
