You rang?

Today’s Dilbert cartoon is about customer-service and trolling. You need to read yesterday’s to understand today’s well though.

I would be clicking the pics too large button quite often.

I suspect people might like a you’re not as funny as you think you are button. Particularly for some of my posts :weary:

Also — in the same sense that blocking users or messages lets you control what you don’t want to see — remember you can use UblockOrigin (Firefox) or a similar tool to block any individual element. For example if there’s a huge “signature” picture you’d rather not see every single time someone posts, you can block that specific image file. If it’s a rotating collection, you can block the image files from that particular account at that particular picture host.

If you have a small screen, a limited attention to distraction ratio, or both, this can be very helpful.

Nice!

Incredible! Take me down to the Paradise City!

But I like that waving varmint!

On a serious note what is the default setting for this meter? 0 or 1? to be fully neutral?

0 I’d suggest. Have you been rude?

I did rude my self just to try it! But it should of reset i am guessing…

But i am sure a few people on here don’t agree with me. These are the same people why this system was started lol!

Oh,a great new button! Interesting. I should be careful making jokes later.

The default is 0, but don’t be too worried if it goes up to 1, since it could be due to a random mistake or a misinterpretation of something you said.

Hahaha OrcaTorch, so cool to see you sporty and humoristic, a new breed of manufacturers has risen!

Say SB, not being rude but since you are working on BLF anyways, maybe remove all those sticky reviews, I mean the sticky not he reviews, the search functions very good so people can find old reviews easy. Where reviews from 2013 are less relevant now so why sticky them?
Oh AMD I send you a digital aspirin to counter your now newly popped up headache :smiley:

Oh yes you are! :smiling_imp:

Thanks! :slight_smile:

Regarding the reviews, I usually prefer to create a sub-category for reviews in the most popular sections. I’ll try to get around to doing that pretty soon here.

Still 0/10 YAY

SB please do not feel rushed a whole new category is way too much work, I thought just remove “sticky” tag
:wink:

Oh man I am do happy we did something for you! So much deserved!

Are you back to –1 RC?

I’m the proud owner of 6 on the rudeness scale. It was 7 yesterday after I posted an emotional comment about the massacre in Florida by a deranged ISIS sympathizer. I guess I did go a little overboard with my anger, or did I?

Personally, I consider swearing to be rude no matter the emotional level or the amount I agree or disagree with what you said. I’m sure a few of those 7 came from that alone. fyi

swearing or racist posts will be my primary use of the “Rude!” button.

question: If the owner of a “Rude” post deletes said post, does that remove the Rude! votes from his counter, or do they remain?
