Brofist sounds like some gay incest porn search tag, can't we call it something else ? I have no wish to be fisted.

Make the Codex Great Again! Grab the Codex by the pussy Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
the buttons gave me a way to interact without actually having to write. an autist friendly way to interact without having any social skills. now i have to bare my soul for validation. type my inane drivel into the void to try to get the recognition i am denied IRL. like a, like a
journalist
:despair:

but seriously, i think the buttons are 80% of the fun and half the communication. without them the codex feels eerily sanitized. you're not planning on selling out to some wapanese businessman, are you?

DarkUnderlord ffs will you at least bring the Bad Spelling rating back?

I've been getting hives this last week seeing so many illiterate plebs absolutely butchering words/grammar and not suffering any consequences for it! It's practically a humanitarian crisis at this point.

Calling on Black to stand in solidarity
I need to rate but I can't. I have to choose between a working forum and smug satisfaction after rating internet posts.
Life is suffering.

Buttons play an important communication role in this community.

I have no wish to make a post if I can press a TLDR button. If I wish to be wordy, then I have time to think more before writing.

I still remember the days of scrolling tens of post saying a variant of I agree or something~

Although I didn't vote in favour of buttons returning, the system can generate a bit of useful information. I once dished out a participation award (can't recall why, possibly because it was about a game winning an award) which triggered an angry, months-long retaliatory ratings spree, and a few butthurt posts in a rather charming variety of broken English. This sort of reminder of just how thin-skinned and mentally unstable many of us are is a handy byproduct of ratings :salute:

Hmmm... the poll is really close. Almost a 50:50 if we look at [no brofists + only brofists] versus [bring buttons back].
Half of the people prefer the minimum ratings or no ratings at all.

Hmmm... The poll is not at all close. Almost a 77:23 if we look at [bring buttons back + brofist only ratings] versus [no ratings at all].
Over three quarters of the voters prefer being able to use some type of ratings.

Make three forums. One with buttons. One with brofists. One with nothing.

Everyone will be satisfied.

No. There is a much much bigger difference between completionists and minimalists than to minimalists and "nothingists".

Think about Oblivion: completionists spend 200+ hours in the game, while minimalists spend only 10 hours (because they only play the main campaign). Those who played only the bare minimum have barely seen the contents of the game, so you might as well claim they haven't played the game at all. Often times these minimalists weren't even really interested in the game, so they could have skipped it anyways. Therefore the latter 2 have more in common than the first one.

It's the same with button ratings:

Completionists who played everything Oblivion had to offer <-> Want the full shitload of buttons
Minimalists who played only the main campaign <-> Want only Brofists
Nothingists who didn't play Oblivion <-> Want no ratings at all

Again the latter 2 have more in common than the first one.
