Hey DarkUnderlord,

Want to kick the drama notch up a bit around here? Want to introduce a glorious new source of potential butthurt? Want everyone to gang up on WCDS and fervently wish for their deaths (even more so than now)?

How about implementing some graphical means of judging each user's number of Brofists? Something like this maybe:

?

User ranking are fun, they're interesting, and, most importantly, they're the number one source for dividing an otherwise united online community and driving them into vicious rep-harvesting civil war. Think of the possibilities!

Do eet, fagg0rt!

In before DU adds the ability to negatively brofist... to everyone except Crispy, and applicable only on Crispy posts.

What the Codex really needs is a data-scraper to list what % of their total word count "Arcanum" takes up, divide it by the number of times "Oblivion" is mentioned, and give potatoes based on the number.

I'm taking back the brofist I gave you earlier Crispy.

Edit: *Brolapse* complete

Yes, it appears so. I believe it refers to cats like HHR and Sheek/Hobbit Lord of Mordor who are of the Christian Conservative mindset.

I think at some point there was brofist harvesting or some shenanigans.

Can't we have a Fist of Shame, especially for Crispy? Each click would amount to 1 minute of ban, cumulative indefinitely.

Sheer fist totals aren't important anyway, since they reward being prolific more than anything. The better metric to use would be FPP (fists per post), with a minimum post threshold to cut off the newbs.

You would also need to consider the fact that oldtimers made many posts before brofists were introduced.
