Brofists vs. Approval

[ltok]

Joining the Codex and making my ignore list made me ask: Should it be legal to express approval or disapproval of an event, or new information, in a response, when one has nothing good to say? My answer is "No."

For example, pretty much the entirety of the first page here:
http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...proach-cyberpunk-2077-interview-at-ign.82747/
is either one line expressions of such, attempts at witty disapproval, mostly unfunny, or chattiness.
Later pages do a little better.

My solution: ban everyone have "Approve" and "Censure" features for the information in a post, which do not connote Brofist's approval of the poster. And make them independent of brofisting.

Then ban everyone who posts their mood.

Because thinking discussions are more important than lulz.

Then ban everyone who posts their mood.

First post to ask to ban people, I see a bright future for you here.

Such a weak attempt.

 

[Jaesun]

That was worth a One? Really?

And how much would you be willing to pay for this "feature"?

 

[DraQ]

Would report anyone, but OP in this thread for brofist harvesting, but can't be arsed to.

I don't even blinked. Such weak trolls should be affixed with bow of shame and thrown into the pit.

Before Codex going F2P:

Itok: Ban everyone!
DU: Sent Itok to RPGWatch.

After Codex going F2P:

Itok: Ban everyone!
DU: How many potato would you pay for that?

We could certainly use a Get Out emoticon.

(Like the one SA has.)

 

[Jaesun]

As long as you have to pay for using emoticons.

Emoticon DLC.

"Approve" and "Censure"

I also ask myself now if it makes sense to reply to stupidity in my own thread.

Anyway, I am no troll, although the banning talk was half-serious. However, it would make my ignore-listing decisions easier if the feature existed and someone did not use it.
I cannot edit my post, but I will clarify that posting your mood as the example in the quote was what I meant, and little else.

"How many rich gentlemen avoid this forum because of ...?"- This forum still has more intelligence than Iron Tower's, annoyingly, due to a handful of users: galsiah stopped posting there, Vince posts there and here and DU and a few others post only here.

Oh but it does! It always does on the Codex.

Look, boy, I would generally agree with you re: thinking discussions and shit. But you are complaining about a CD Projekt thread. The more people just laugh at CDPR instead of "thoughtfully discussing" their crappy games, the better. I, for one, would be extremely concerned if a CDPR thread on the Codex didn't evolve into a lulzfest.
