A minus rude score?

Just what is it that makes something rude ?

Could it be just a bad attitude ?

Something that is said

Or a viewpoint you dread

Is it porn or a nice tasteful nude ?

Words are sometimes misconstrued

Or to some taboo subject allude

What someone may say

Taken in the wrong way

For slander you might just be sued !

Some things you hear may make you brood

And some things make you just come unglued !

If you get offended

The world hasn't ended

Only you should control your own mood

Hey, I deserve a negative rude score!! :innocent: :disappointed:

Glenn the Unrude.

Yeah, that would be a glitch. :weary: It’s fixed for now, at least temporarily. But at any rate, many thanks to all of our users for being un-rude! :stuck_out_tongue:

A fitting conclusion! Many thanks sir.

Aw, there goes my negative rude score!

it may have been the universe rewarding you, i was never lucky enough to have a negative rudeness score :smiley:

Haha, a minus rude score means you lack rudeness…what else would it mean?

Maybe you’re turning into Ned Flanders with a negative score…

(The Eb thingy is the bass tab for “Would” :smiling_imp: )

However lets hope it doesn’t soon become time for ReNeducation

It’s back! lol

Well, dont be rude… he said it was a TEMPORARY fix :stuck_out_tongue:

I know. Just busting chops here :slight_smile:

Mine is still 0… I wouldnt mind a little rudeness credit

A glitch in the Matrix. Soon you will wake up and wish you never learned what the real world is like. :sunglasses:

We need to get rid of the “Rude!” score nonsense. Makes us sound like mental handicapped where we can’t deal with normal social interactions. Really, it needs to go. A post can always just be reported if it can be classed as inappropriate. But this needs to stop. And I’ve felt this way for a long time.

what exactly happens if you hit 10? and can you actually see someone elses rude score?

I’m with you. Someone gave me a rude point for trashing a defective flashlight I purchased a while back. How is that rude?

BTW, I didn’t use any foul language in my post.

Well, the Rude! score is supposed to be a tool in our arsenal as self-moderated members. The rating system is very forgiving. It’s just supposed to give a little bit of visual feedback so that you can know how people react to your posts. I think SB said that there’s no auto-ban or anything like that associated with it, but if you do get a high number, it will let him know so that he can check it out.

AFAIK, you can’t see anyone else’s Rude! number or which posts of theirs were flagged, only your own. The 10 on the scale is arbitrary and doesn’t mean anything really. I think he said that he had to choose a number in order for the scale thing to work, and it seemed to him that 10 was a good number.

Around the time the Rude! meter was introduced, we needed it. Maybe now we don’t, but we might again in the future. We do get the occasional rude person around here, although a truly unapologetically rude person is quite rare in general at BLF. I mostly ignore it, but I have given Rude! points a few times and as well have also received them. I count it as a mostly harmless feature that can be useful at times.

Nicely spoken. Minus 1 for you:)

I think we should also have an informative button with an area to skim through the top most informative posts to gain knowledge that might otherwise be hidden:)
