[2016-06-11] Crackdown on rudeness

I did rude my self just to try it! But it should of reset i am guessingā€¦

But i am sure a few people on here donā€™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 donā€™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. Iā€™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 ā€œstickyā€ tag
:wink:

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

Are you back to ā€“1 RC?

Iā€™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. Iā€™m sure a few of those 7 came from that alone. fyi

swearing or racist posts will be my primary use of the ā€œRude!ā€ button.

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

I understood, and deleted my post and opologised to those I might have offended

Mine remained

In 6 days they will be gone. SB knows your not a problem poster so i donā€™t think there is any harm done

They remain. Since the rudeness counter canā€™t trigger automated account blockage, itā€™s not really a problem per se if the counter is temporarily high. Itā€™s mainly intended for the majority of our members that really do care about getting along with others, so they can be aware of how their posts are being perceived by others and make amends if necessary.

:wink: Thanks Sharpie!

Yes, good idea. Iā€™ve been thinking over the technical path toward implementing this functionality too.

I have not marked anything ā€œrudeā€ yet, so it wasnā€™t me. But I did read the post you are referring to and considered trying out the feature. What you did was a general rules violation, not necessarily rule #1, but it was all the others. I decided against pressing the button. But some people did and you have been inquiring why ever since. Thatā€™s why.

The last thing I want to do is to offend anybody. I realize sometimes my emotions get the best of me when it comes to violence towards innocent people, especially in the name of religion. Iā€™ll do my best in the future to control my emotions without swearing.

If Swearing is rude lol Iā€™d suggest never take a holiday to certain parts of Australia lol! We have some of finest bogans in the world. (red necks or yokels) which ever you prefer lol

> overboard with my anger, or did I?

I didnā€™t click the ā€˜rudeā€™ button but for whatever itā€™s worth, when I saw a candidateā€™s talking point ā€” a controversial one ā€”
I thought that might not work well in this thread where people are asked to stay nonpolitical.

Talking points will only get harder to self-filter til the election, as what seems obvious to one of us may seem mistaken to someone else.

Thereā€™s no ā€œbacking away slowly with no responseā€ button.
