Merida, again
2 automatic Retardo. The roll should have modifiers too, like certain key words provide bonuses/penalties and shit.

It's the next-gen Codex, senile old biddies either need to keep up or keep out.

I guess the question now is, did this test achieve what DU wanted to achieve. As in it really stopped GD dead in it's tracks.

I just posted a reply to a thread that had seemingly been deemed retarded by most users, after which it went from bottom to the middle of the page.

How long before topics that have had a million people voting it 'epic' remain on top constantly despite never getting replies, while new topics go straight to page five because there's no room on the first four pages?

And how many threads are going to end up unread just because some dumbass voted it down after the first 2 posts?

Unsurprisingly, this is what I expected.

Surprisingly, it didn't work out that way at all.

Votes have been quite reasonably balanced out with retarded threads being voted retarded and fairly reasonable threads being voted epic (Jimbob's comic is the most epic; shitniggers's true identity the most retarded). A wide range of users have also been voting which has helped balance the votes out.

Still, the sorting trial phase is completed and that aspect has been removed. Threads will now sort as per last reply.

We have now entered Phase #2 of the trial. When threads pass a certain threshold, they will now be tagged appropriately.

Will the patrons who cant vote be fixed? Or was the vote thing removed for the secret phase 2?
