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.
Appologies in advance SB… 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 “fan” or “great” button for many of your posts deserve a click on that!
OK, no harm done…
For all the discussion on the Rude button, SB’s stats show it does not get used often. With all the members here, only 4 have active points. I for one can’t 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 don’t really use it. But before it was introduced I had a big need once.
Nice one!
Sure, go ahead. There is a confirmation page. But even so, there is always a certain amount of confused users (possibly lurkers) that don’t really know what they’re clicking on. It’s 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.
Funny thread.
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:
Cheers ^:)
Exactly, with a pinpoint on a map with the transgressor’s address and phone number and IP address. 
Some time ago I received a rude for a lesser swear word not addressed to anyone or any particular product. Maybe we should create a list of Kid-Appropriate “Curse” Words for Everyday BLF Use
