We don’t, actually.
But it would be amusing if we did.

Now just you look here PippinSaint, I don’t know how tall pixies are in your part of the world but here in the New Forest, 5’10" they are not … I put it to you my friend, that it is infact you who are taking the piss and suspect you are just a bitter man and probably a fuckin’ beanpole t’boot.
and Pap, there’s nothing wrong with pixies anyway
… but I’m not one

You’re one of Snow White’s little friends aren’t you?
Not quite sure what that makes me though. I’m only 5’8".

Guy, guys, guys…have we started a race to find the Sotonians shortest-arse?
I’m 5’9" so it’s not me
So anyway getting back to the thread, I agree with OP. The up/down voting thing has me.
However I must say I do like the whole concept around Paps awarding of badges, it’s makes you feel appreciated. With this in mind and a bit of time on my hands, I thought it would be good to do my own one off badge presentation in tribute to Papsweb and all who sail on her.
To take it a step further I’ve knocked some art which can be printed to a self adhesive label and worn with pride … a proper badge no less. So here you are:
The steveintheforest ‘intellectual misfits’ Badge
Awarded to the Papmeister and all the fine posters (his cronies) on Sotonians
100 ‘steveintheforest’ points to all … which means you’re all in a relegation battle, could be any 3 out of 350
In this land of midgets one man stands head and shoulders below the rest…

You’ve just destroyed my one change at being Happy.
Dam you and your little legs.
Steve - your badge doesn’t seem to work
I was going to print one and wear it home with true Sotonian pride this evening (under my jacket)
does now 
Right, I’ve got in to discover I’ve surpassed 60 points. I reckon that’s enough to avoid relegation for this week so I’m taking my foot of the gas, Gonna play the kids between now and next Sunday.
Is it possible to create the perfect post that will break the system and create a spiraling upvote causality loop.
Key elements to the golden post so far :
Bearsy
Death
Lou
“Secret” club insider knowledge reluctantly given
A charitable cause
A confession
Something about how good this place is cf the ‘other place’
MLG
Things to avoid probably:
Corbyn
Brexit
Golf
Barry
Marital problems
Feel free to suggest more
Nothing turns off the Sotonians crowd like a Corbyn/Brexit post…advertising political views on here is like getting your old chap out at a Harvester salad bar - or asking Claude to explain, in full detail, the settings on his cooker.
ie
So Jeremy Corbyn and I were on the 4th tee in the VIP Open discussing whether his refusal to conform, allied with his 70s-style relationships with unions made him unelectable, which we both agreed he wasn’t, and he said, ‘shall I use a one iron?’
_And Rihanna who was just walking past with Ralph McTell shouted, ‘Why not use a driver, just like the EU fatcats who have their snouts in the travel expenses trough as our children continue to struggle to school through snow and hail as their hard-earned pocket money goes to fund white elephant projects across Europe!’ _
We laughed, Jeremy took her advice and shot a voter-friendly four.
The end.

yeah, I had a crack at a golden post where Bearsy came out at MLGs funeral and Messi was there with Ralph and Kat. Lou was going to change her name to Dune for the kids at the hospital but it all fell apart after that.
The problem with writing the brilliant post you did RB is it isn’t going to attract the landslide of downvotes intended as , per usual, it is thoughtful insightful and witty
Lee Trevino would hold a one iron aloft on his way round the course during electrical storms in the belief that not even God can hit a one iron.
That is my only golf story.
