Are regular brofists ever coming back?

DarkUnderlord Would it be possible for you to make the "Brofist" button hook into the original underlying Like/Brofist system? So pressing that button would make the post show up as Liked on Tapatalk and increase "Brofists Received".
That would make Brofists the de facto only positive rating, making the other "approval" buttons redundant.

Better to count any rating given as a brofist. Is not generating butthurt and parrots the truest measure of a BRO?

This, or generate separate counters for each rating. Currently this positive/neutral/negative classification with respect to ratings is pretty vague to say the least, and it could be debated indefinitely as to which category each of the rating really belongs.

If ratings are back can I get my fisting privileges restored for a while?
Wanna see what ratings were added this time.

I find that being unable to brofist fosters a more sober and reflective mindset. Removal of the fisting buttons should be considered a privilege, not a punishment.

No. Brofists were inflated into meaninglessness. This new system ensures a diverse arrange of investment options which allows brokers to spread their risk with a diversified portfolio.
And what if the ratings were made junk grade too? What then?

Can I take a short option on ratings now?

If any single rating is spammed, it's not only negated by the larger choice of ratings, but can simply mean the removal of that rating and replacement with a new and yet similar option. And all ratings can't be spammed as you can only choose one rating per post. Thus leading to the perfect system.

What and how many ratings are there anyway?

Theoretically infinite.

It's already dubious enough for me to be hanging around this place with the insanity outside the legitimate CRPG forums. I don't like the racism and other undertones here but I just ignore/keep away from it. Nail in the coffin would be the ability for griefers to brand my posts as racist with a fucking hitler smiley.

I would brofist but I couldn't resist giving you a good ol' Adolf.
