Are you saying on the confirmation screen below where it says āAre you sure you want to mark this post as rude? Please ONLY use this for rude, lewd, or conflictive posts.ā ?
Yes, to space out the choices to avoid accidentally clicking the wrong choice, and for general readability. The same goes for the confirmation screen when unmarking a rude post.
The confirmation screen is a good idea. It prevents someone from abusing the rude feature by rapidly clicking all of the Rude! links on the same comments page. But what stops someone who has a grudge from marking the multiple comments of the same person to quickly push up their rude meter?
Cool, I hope this new feature will help. It seems like a much better idea than the css-based blacklist thing I made for personal use.
Anyway, Iām going to ārudeā this comment so I can see what the meter looks like when itās non-zero. I styled the button, but donāt know what the meter is going to look like.
Regarding the spacing between the two buttons, unfortunately that part isnāt easy to tweakā¦ Sorry about that!
About the possibility of somebody with a grudge, yes, I thought about that too. I could add some checks against that, but I really donāt think itās necessary, because (1) the hits arenāt permanent, and (2) at least youāll know that somebody has a grudge against you. :smiling_imp: And I guess (3) would be that expressing a grudge via the Rudeness Level meter is less bad than expressing it in writing on the public forum.
Yes, the level can go overboard. Basically, that meter is normally for a different purpose, but it was the closest thing I could find to the functionality I needed. In the context of this system, consider anything over 1 or 2 to be a problem, and 10 is absolutely shameful. Anything over 10ā¦ well, a psychiatrist be in order!
By the way, how did you pull off the 11/10 rudeness level already? Marking your own posts I assume?
t would be nice to have an ignore user button if thatās possible. Not that Iād ignore any of the wonderful members we have here. But it would solve a lot of problems I would think.
But yes, I marked my own posts. Iām 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, Iām getting tired of hunting down my own comments to mark myself down.
You know whatās funny? Sometimes on the confirmation page, I see an ad for āBest Tactical Flashlight. 800 Lumen MilTac Survival Torch. Same Tech Used by U.S. Navy Seals.ā Can we mark that rude too?
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 ārude validityā rule, X amount of rude reports to score a rude point?
