[2016-06-11] Crackdown on rudeness

Nobody likes me around here. :cry:

But yes, I marked my own posts. I’m at 20/10 now. I doing a bit of Q/A testing for you. I wanted to see if a crash would occur if my rude meter went too high. However, I’m getting tired of hunting down my own comments to mark myself down.

You know what’s funny? Sometimes on the confirmation page, I see an ad for “Best Tactical Flashlight. 800 Lumen MilTac Survival Torch. Same Tech Used by U.S. Navy Seals.” Can we mark that rude too?

:+1:

Very nice! but what if a users start to abuse the Rude! button and reports a large numbers of posts from the same user? Is there a limit of how many rude reports can someone submit in a day?

Maybe implement a “rude validity” rule, X amount of rude reports to score a rude point?

Hope this makes sb job easier.

Question, does the button have a second confirmation page like the Mark as SPAM button? I sometimes press the wrong button specially when on my smartphone. Thanks!

I’ve done that as well Alex. That’s an excellent suggestion…

Yeah. You can try it by marking yourself as rude.

Oh, I see it does! Thanks!

As a Canadian, this make me feel right at home.

Sorry I can’t put it on the confirmation screen, but I did manage to display the comment with a link after confirming, so you can click back to it and un-flag it.

Ha! Sorry about that one. Not an ad that I personally placed. :disappointed:

I saw something I thought quite rude
It displayed really poor attitude
You can say what you want
But deliver a taunt
And you’re liable to start up a feud

It’s shame when these things must be viewed
Because personal jabs are so crude
It is never alright
To go starting a fight
And it always destroys the good mood

Our enlightenment should be pursued
So that none of us feel devalued
A too hasty reply
Can make things go awry
Let us try to keep anger subdued

Good idea, how about for every rude point you give, you get one yourself, that will slow down pushing the rude button just because you don’t like the poster :smiling_imp:

Cheers David

Thanks Jack! You rock.

A brilliant and great idea sb. One question, should we use this going forward, or go back and mark rude posts that have occurred recently?

Thanks cabfrank. I’d say any post is subject to scrutiny. It’s not necessary to go through old posts with the purpose of marking the rude ones, but if you run across one by all means hit it.

Awesome!

Nice feature. I suspect a few members will be in for a… rude awakening :stuck_out_tongue:

thanks SB ! :slight_smile:
