A common punishment the site likes to give out is to remove someone's brofist giving privilege. It would make sense therefore to have a punishment which removed someone's privilege to receive brofists. One punishment for brofist spammers and another for brofist harvesters.

Brofist ratio: 0.55

I miss hitlerfists and parrots. Even if they did end up crashing the site. At least the Codex would go out in a blaze of glory shitposting and we could all whine about it again on RPGWatch.

Hey, I'd be happy if there weren't any additional buttons to press on posts, it's not Buttonmasherdex. As has been pointed out earlier though, the Kredits are heavily linked to brofists so, a bit like the Balkanisation of Europe, it's all a done deal that can only get worse (as you prove with your desire for even more button mashing), so I just suggested a sensible rule that makes sense in the context of existing rules rather than run a pointless campaign about the removal of something that cannot be removed.

Brofists despite their shortcomings are necessary. Without them people would pollute threads with crap like "I agree" and whatnot. I don't want to return to that era.

The integrity of the system must be restored. People will form a new hierarchy anyway probably with stalker counts becoming proxies for a friend list. Fisting is better.

Maybe it's the alzheimer's kicking in but I don't remember this being an issue before brofists. It wasn't like neocuck where you had an entire page of "+1" or "THIS RIGHT HERE" after certain posts. When people agreed with a post they tended to say "True, it also led to..." or "The only problem with this is..."

I liked the rainbow/hitler system as a compromise, as long as there's no unambiguous "I agree/This is the correct opinion" fist.

Also, as worthless as Crispy might be, at least he doesn't just post unfunny "troll" shit that nobody is actually trolled by (e.g. Anthony Davis shitposts)

Hitler was pretty much exactly "I agree completely my friend, great post", wasn't it? Or did I use it wrong?

Just hide the amount of brofists each poster has. brofists are a useful tool to agreeing with someone or laughing with someone. The total amount of earned brofists being displayed for everyone see is textbook wank.

Whenever I see a large post with no brofists, I scroll right on by like playing Paperboy and skipping the dark houses. They are very necessary and should never be removed.

jcd made a fistbot or something? Who cares? Does that mean that suddenly people can't continue using them to positively acknowledge one another?

No, it doesn't.

Because their "value" is totally imaginary, it doesn't matter - at all - if they're "devalued". Is anyone exchanging brofists for material goods and services?

No, they aren't.
... Are they?

So what's broken, exactly?
