Yea...butthurt...sure.
Actually I'm just tired of the smug-emoting, monocle-referencing noobs who always show up on site feedback and make some lame suggestion about how to "improve" the forum and for some reason this suggestion always includes a circlejerk of one form of another.
DraQ has good intentions, but his idea does come off as a glorified circlejerk. We already have brofisting. I'm actually surprised Darkunderlord implemented brofisting and achievements at all. I suspect he's just trolling us and/or humorously poking fun at how game in this era have so many achievements and other inane goals to satisfy ones e-peen.
I'd be more happy with an ability to anti-brofist posts, actually. Telling someone how shit an idea of his is is more important than telling him that it's good - in the latter case he probably already thinks that it's good on his own.
Of course it would have to be regulated, with limited ammo per day or something like that, because runaway panning is much more likely on the 'dex than runaway ciclejerk.
Generally ciclejerking and masturbating to one's own e-peen can be easily accomplished without any extra features - just put your personal the best of in signature or somewhere where people will click it and brofist you. I was thinking that making it an official feature would make more people do so, and it could then be used as a gauge of sort whether a poster is a genuine shit poster, or someone known for interesting posts currently engaging in shitty trolling spree or something.
As a side effect it could reinvigorate the codex by sparking interest in old threads , because different posters would link to different things.
Why do I think it sparked much butthurt?
Because of disproportionate response to a suggestion that would otherwise change much less than adding some new avatars for those not interested in the new feature.
Hey, vots even posted on my profile because of this thread (go check it out - it's free).
He gave me a nice idea, BTW - a "hall of shame" in your profile where others could link your most embarrassing, in their opinion, posts (not anonymously, though) would complement PPP nicely.
Hmm... maybe then the people wouldn't have to refer to Black Willow if they ever wanted to learn why am I an elite individual.
