Remove the ability of the thread creater to give the thread a legendary icon

[thilar]

In most forums, and in a general sense, something legendary is something that has many posts and replies, something that is either very informative or entertaining.

I constantly see legendary icons, which immediately catch my eye as something to be worth while reading. In contrast, what is inside is just a few sentence post with mediocre replies.

Allowing posters to tag their own posts as legendary seems to contradict its meaning and intended purpose

I think I actually agree with this.
Maybe a thread should automatically be tagged with a legendary icon once it has x# of replies?

It's a post icon, not a tag. Very different things. Just look for the threads with high views, and replies.

Although, I do agree, removing the legendary icon (and others like it) would be a good idea until it hits a certain 'rank' per-se.

Thanks, clarified my original post.

I do agree on this, sometimes I see a "legendary" post and I click on it and it just is a repost >.<.

So agree on this

It's mostly idiots, or just plain newbies who don't know how to use the search function properly, or haven't seen the function. Eventually they'll get to learn to use it, just like you may or may not have. Although, removing this would also be an option.
