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 hadnāt occurred to me, so I havenāt 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 donāt 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 PMād 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 statedā¦ā¦ BUT, this is āyour houseā & 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 didnāt voteā¦ just figure its one way to get SBās attention to certain threads. He can decide from there.
Most other forums have a āReport to Modā 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 itās your house and you have every right to set the rules. I can live with that.
Thanks, I will take your opinions into account. Iām not inclined to make any changes just yet, but that option isnāt necessarily off the table.
ā¦ā¦ :+1: ā¦ā¦ā¦
How about a system where the first, letās say 4 rude registrations are invisible? This means ānoiseā 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 ideaā¦
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: āare too!ā āam not!ā 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.
Itās a good tool, working well, I think.
Letās test my noob insight in programming.
- āRudenessā = rude input ā4
Oops.
Appologies in advance SBā¦ I am going to click on your Rude button in post #74 just to see if there is another page to confirm the submission.
Just curious if there is a chance of accidental submissions as the Rude is close to reply button.
Hahaha good one freeme
Hank, I want a āfanā or āgreatā button for many of your posts deserve a click on that!
OK, no harm doneā¦
For all the discussion on the Rude button, SBās stats show it does not get used often. With all the members here, only 4 have active points. I for one canāt remember the last time I clicked Rude. I think I used it a few times the week it was introduced, and not since. I like it, but donāt really use it. But before it was introduced I had a big need once.
