The rather subjective measure of quality is demonstrated by the "redness" of the post bar (the length of which indicates the number of posts). As
the number of "Staff Applause" increases, the "redder" the bar will become. Since the "Applause" function is instituted by humans (and one
monkey), there is room for some dissent on the appropriateness of someone's bar intensity, but does it really matter?
Do you really think the staff would have bias or preferences regarding a posts content?
Applause Monkeys, not just for posts with banana references anymore...
