I will bring buttons back

[Rakshar]

Any news on how Nano is doing on his nefarious undertaking in the Star Stable Realm at Dark Underlord's bidding?

 

[Lhynn]

Expressing disagreement with all the intellectual weight of a rating and optionally some jejune comment became too convenient.

Agree, this killed discussion and you often have to settle for a disagree but you have no idea in which way. Its just retarded. Its one more thing killing discussion in the forum.

 

[Cael]

Did I seriously just read that you can't have a discussion while being civil? Last time I checked, being uncivilized adds literally nothing to a discussion except venting and attacking the other person as opposed to their arguments.

Even worse, he thinks that all anti-SJWs should be pro-white because tribes. White racists, black racists, same side of the coin.

The guy has the intellectual capacity of a mentally crippled 2 year old.

 

[RRRrrr]

My main issue with buttons is that some people abuse them by auto negatively rating each and every post you make. Rating one or two posts to show disagreement is fine, but negatively rating twenty posts in a row in the same thread is retarded.

Most of the people I recently ignored was due to getting constant never ending notifications of them following me around and rating my posts. It's inane. We have to have some anti-spam control.

Stop caring. Problem solved.

Seriously, until getting ratebombed with X rating is shown to have some kind of effect on your ability to use the forum, stop caring.

I don't care, I am just expressing my preference for no buttons.

My other issue with them is thatthey are low-effort and grant a false sense of accomplishment when you would have replied to express disagreement instead of giving a shit/retarded/cuck rating.

A brofist/agree/disagree system would encompass all rating and work better.

I've narrowed these down as my pick of the essentials:

These are my preferences.

I'll take things that never happened for 300, Alex.

We had one case were someone was rating people en mass with a program and he was dealt with.

The others are people who genuinely disliked you enough to rate 20 of your posts shit by hand.

Turn off notifications if you're thin skinned.

 

[Lady_Error]

I've narrowed these down as my pick of the essentials:

The others are superfluous/easily replaced by one of the options above (e.g., you don't need a million 'yes'/'agree' smileys when a brofist will do). Performance on potatoes isn't even an excuse since CSS could just be fixed/adapted.

Lambchop or Lady Error or both were the victims of such a campaign, which only stopped when the mods "negotiated" with the prick involved and gave them their Literal Hitler title in return for the asshole stopping his campaign.

It was actually better than that... Lambchop created the Literally Hitler and I created the Batshit Crazy tag - and we both got each other's creations. Then L. begged for the Literally Hitler and got it too.

 

[Lurker47]

When did this happen.
This is a nightmare.
As stupid as it is, one of my favorite things about this site was the buttons. This is a tragedy.

Oh wow that is so much better.

I always thought people on this site literally wanted to kill Jews and black people because of those tags.

I've narrowed these down as my pick of the essentials:

You left out the parrot button and therefore deserve to be purged from the Codex with extreme prejudice.

As a reminder, everyone reading this should brofist this post by DarkUnderlord to restore our buttons.

 

[Lady_Error]

I always thought people on this site literally wanted to kill Jews and black people because of those tags.

Well, for some reason there are a lot of Jews in top positions in US media, finance and politics. And I don't want European countries to import a lot of niggers. So there's that.

No. LE was being stalked and getting every one of her posts rated as racist by some no job loser who spends all his time here just doing that. Instead of deleting those rates and banning the asshole, the mods negotiated with him instead. Bunch of soft cucks. The result was that LE be given the Literal Hitler tag in exchange for the asshole stopping. The thread is in Site Feedback somewhere still, or should be.

We know there are button abusers amongst us. As I have said before, I have seen multiple campaigns done by assholes in my time here. That is the primary reason why I am against buttons. If the mods don't want to clamp down on the abusers, and it is not as if they are that hard to spot once they get going, then get rid of the buttons.

 

[karoliner]

Behead those who insult buttons.

 

[Lady_Error]

Methinks no buttons generates more butthurt right now than buttons.

The best course of action is probably to keep only brofists until everyone gives up and then bring back the buttons for the butthurt of the brofist purists.

Eh, too late.

If Nano completes his task within 7 days, I shall return buttons.

If Nano fails to complete his task within the next 7 days, the buttons demand a sacrifice. If Nano fails his quest, and this post receives 150 brofists within the next 7 days, I will ban Nano and return buttons.

Which will happen first? Will Nano save the buttons and himself, will the Codex demand Nano be sacrificed, or will buttons begone forever?

Stay tuned to this exciting thread for further developments.

How can we get rid of buttons AND this Nano asshole, whoever Xe is?

 

[OndrejSc]

I was receiving a large part of my endorphines from ratings on Codex, bring them back, or else.

 

[laclongquan]

This recent increase in tension is thanks to the reintroduce buttons THEN promptly cut off.

Withdrawal INTENSIFY!!!!

 

[theSavant]

Brofists shouldn't be white. They should be brown.

You're right.
I demand multi-colored Brofist buttons, otherwise it's racist.
I demand a Sisfist button in all colors for the minority of womyns in here, because female rights.
I demand a rainbow-colored LGBTQ-fist button, otherwise it's discriminating against the trannies in here.
