Even with brofists gone Infinitron manages to harvest them.

I subconsciously tried to brofist that and ended up clicking on "Top". :(

Cool, now that postcounts will be the only quantifiable way to determine status, I am looking forward to an increase in shitposts and one word/smiley posts.

It's true, of course, but now people will have to pile on to agree with someone and it'll probably further bloat threads without adding actual content. No idea what the fist-purge is about this time, but if it's brought back perhaps we could do without the counter or specific user names involved and rather just have an abstract representation of a crowd gathering below a post?

How will I know if I have the precious approval (and therefore self-validation) of my fellow codexers? A small part of me looks forward to checking the codex daily and seeing 'X has brofisted your post!'.

I guess I'll just need to follow my own internal compass of what is awesome and what is not...

Don't worry, you'll still get alerts with people quoting a tiny section of your post out of context, or just tagging your name, in order to tell you how right or wrong you are but little else. Codex groupthink isn't going anywhere and neither are the factions.

I'm looking forward to you getting 50% of your posts somewhere other than the beg thread.

I was going to make a joke about why would you want to post anything without brofists, but then I realized I wouldn't get brofists for that either.

:negative:

So since I'm not a full citizen what's the current implementation?
Also, maybe it's worth having something similar to what slashdot has? It'd enable constructive-Sensuki-re-PoE posts to be differentiated from the huehues.

We need to start thinking of the true victims of this change.

Won't anybody think of poor anus_pounder? What will he do with his life now that he can no longer fist? What about all the anuses lives he touched with his fists? It is truly a sad, sad day.

He's gone, men. Only death could keep him from pounding anus. He's fisting in heavan now.

It feels really fucking weird to keep going to the brofist button and finding nothing there. Like some phantom dong, flapping limply in an ethereal breeze.

I had too a perfect ratio slightly over 1:1. But I'm glad if they reintroduce the old rating system.

I find it more pertinent. You can tell if a post is racist, or gay, or the expression of butthurt, or if you agree or simply like or :M .

I do like reading old threads and wondering what motivated people to post funny shit without the rewards we have now had.
