I think the big question is who is going to organise the first 10000th rude post give-away. 
How many did this thread alone generate for ya Glenn?
Not sure how else to contribute to this thread… :smiling_imp:
Just kidding, wasn’t me.
Believe it or not, none.
By knowing who marked you rude will only take the disagreement even further, and will also make people create new anonymous accounts just to mark rude. Not that it isn’t already happening now, but could get worse.
This is logical IMHO, this is on topic 
talking aboit getting rides in almost any other thread is of topic, generally not positive so bound to get a rude click.
Btw I like the idea of giving a reason when marking something as rude. It makes it a bit harder to do, and gives a good opportunity to Learn if one gets one.
Not a bad idea. It hadn’t occurred to me, so I haven’t given much thought yet to the implications of it. But I do know that on a technical level it would be much harder for me to implement with the available tools and frameworks I have for this forum.
^ Exactly this.
Hi Sb. No problem, I don’t feel as though you have come down on me at all.
It is no secret I am the person with 48 Rude votes, down from 53 I might add.
When I PM’d you about this you kindly responded with some directives. I replied that I would make a very conscious effort to comply with those directives. And I have.
Yes, I as well as others do not necessarily like the anonymous system, for reasons stated…… BUT, this is “your house” & you set the tone as well as rules.
That is good enough for me. :+1:
wow, figured they would have been a couple spiteful ones.
I didn’t vote… just figure its one way to get SB’s attention to certain threads. He can decide from there.
Most other forums have a “Report to Mod” button, not Rude. IMO the counts should not at all be seen to the user.
That would be a better option IMO, and yours 
I meant yours and then mine lol
Much appreciated sir!
Great post Teacher. SB, I agree it’s your house and you have every right to set the rules. I can live with that.
Thanks, I will take your opinions into account. I’m not inclined to make any changes just yet, but that option isn’t necessarily off the table.
…… :+1: ………
How about a system where the first, let’s say 4 rude registrations are invisible? This means “noise” will be filtered out to the member to avoid a negative experience. If a post is truly rude, it will most likely receive more than 5 rude registrations, and then it will become visible to the poster as a more genuine feedback. Just an idea…
Very good idea, thanks! Not sure yet how difficult that would be technically to implement.
Not always, because eventually a post will disappear if many different users mark it as rude. But it is theoretically possible for a lot of people to load the page at approximately the same time, see the rude post, and mark it as rude before it gets automatically removed.
Diagnosis: “are too!” “am not!” exchanged, over and over.
Last time I got a rude point, it was because I expressed an opinion.
I assume whoever dinged that comment did so instead of posting a public response.
For which self-control I thank whoever it was.
I looked and realized, yeah, I could have irritated someone.
It’s a good tool, working well, I think.
Let’s test my noob insight in programming.
- “Rudeness” = rude input –4
- Display rudeness to user = “Rudeness” with interval [0,10]
Oops.
