On a serious, technically challenging note that would surely overburden the forum even further (and would likely be implemented, if ever, in the opposite way, because lulz), I would propose individual button curation on user level. Much like alert settings - each user checkboxes the buttons he intends to use and ignores those he doesn't wish to see. Consequently, he can only use the buttons he has chosen, and his own posts can also be rated only with these buttons.

For additional C&C challenge, the total number of ratings to select is ought to be limited, and the selection could only be changed once per month.

Then again, brofists are fine as they are.

Only bad thing about buttons was that there was no cat button. In fact if there is a cat button and brofist button then I don't even rest of the buttons. People who are concerned of the sites performance we could compromise and make a cat brofist button.

I liked the idea right up to this point. Personally, I appreciate(d) the refinement and subtlety of a complex brofist vocabulary. Don't force me to strike words from my dictionary.

I trust you can apply pressure to DU.

Visiting the Codex now isn't as fun as it used to be. It's like living in a shitty house, then being given nice furniture, then having it taken away and you realise you're living in a shitty house.

You are a pretty shitty poster though. Not in an ideological way just p. banal.

Let me start this by saying I've never "brofisted" or otherwise rated a post and I never will. That said, I'm not the kind of man who has to impose his principles onto those around me or can't stand to be in the presence of humour that I don't personally find tasteful. Indeed, I feel the button parade offered a certain unique character to this forum as a lighthearted and self-aware nod to the nonsense that so much of Western civilisation has become. I feel that further great strides can be made in this vein and would be sorely disappointed if the colour and vivaciousness of this great forum was once again leeched away due to the insecurities of people who aren't happy unless they dominate the play of others with their bleak and joyless "brofist" only worldview.

you must admit text only brofists look way more classy. whereas mundane non-joke ratings are tasteless. telling people to go fuck themselves is also too easy with that arrangement instead of forcing you to engage 1v1, doesnt seem fair.
So low-effort positivity is a good thing, but low-effort negativity should be discouraged? Where the hell do you think you are?

Why don't you ignore me then? Like you did on your old account?

Not my fault that Pillars of Eternity is a great game.

As we all know, the Codex is a democracy and we value the input of our members. So take this opportunity to vote in our button poll.

BUTTONS WILL LIVE OR DIE BASED ON THESE RESULTS.

Ah, an inXile choice. Pretend to care about what we want but just do what you're going to do anyway in the end.

Speaking of ignore why are you ignoring Randal! That guy is the best troll we have seen around here in a while.

Uh, that is democracy. I don't remember a bunch of votes on issues that really matter, except occasionally on some local stuff.

He triggers me too much. I'll take him off ignore when I'm less stressed with work.

Except 'now' we have only one option, just as we did 'then'.
Wow just wow!! Go back to Fallout 4 please. Or better yet go back to your Diablo 3 and your one option. LOL

You're not making any sense, Mr Angel. If you want the 18 choices of a PST dialogue, you should vote for the buttons.
You are obviously too dense to figure out yourself so let me explain it to you. You never had only one choice. You have infinite choices as you could click reply and write whatever. Buttons replaced that for many people and this is why we are against them.

I've been slumming in politics for well over a year now but I still remember this PoE cuck. I bet you gave money to PoE2 campaign so they can make another bland, tasteless, polished turd. LOL, loser.
