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:
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.
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.
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.
Sure, go ahead. There is a confirmation page. But even so, there is always a certain amount of confused users (possibly lurkers) that donāt really know what theyāre clicking on. Itās not a rampant problem or anything, but you should definitely take it with a grain of salt if you get a single hit out of the blue.
Suggestion for sb56637: maybe it would nice be to show the current top transgressor in a stylish way in the front page, with a nice trophy picture. Inspiring artwork:
