[2016-06-11] Crackdown on rudeness

I agree, it’s a show of appreciation, not a score so only the recipient needs to see it. If you want to rank members then do a poll instead and we can hold an election for best dogooderatlarge, best moderatlarge, best tester, best whateveryoulikebester.

OK, I have just implemented a list of your posts that were marked with the “Rude!” button:

It really encourages people to do better. Gives you a sense of pride and makes you feel responsible. Check out http://forum.xda-developers.com

Sweet. Thanks, sb!

Poor SB…
Only check my rudeness level when reading this thread.

FWIW, I can stand rudeness and foul language (lol working in mental health care in Amsterdam long long time ago litteraly all aggressive patients were sent to me if colleges could not cope and I promise you there are quite a fee of those roaming Amsterdam :wink: ) it does not bother me as I see it as a problem for the one being rude.
I find derailing without rudenessuch worse since that requires attention, answers, seeing threads go sideways and cannot be ignored so easy nor does compel the writer to apologize or delete the post(s)

So I like the effort SB but please leave it, no more even “thanks” buttons, BLF is great and warm!

Sounds interesting please tell I was reading stories of people that trip out on mushrooms in Amsterdam and get admitted because they are a danger to them selfs and others? Mostly tourist apparently.

great!

may i ask to add this link into the “the rude meter” ? :wink:

Seems like a good idea. Does it need any special permissions, or does it filter out self-ratings? I marked one of my posts as rude and went to that link and still see nothing.

A mind, like a home, is furnished by its owner, so if one’s life is cold and bare he can blame none but himself…

Oops, sorry, I had something temporarily messed up. Could you please try again?

Yea, I mean, lets be brutally honest here...

It works now. :slight_smile:

This is the best solution. I like to say “thanks” for helpful posts and don’t want to lengthen the thread with my “thanks” posts. We have this “thanks” button in German “taschenlampen-forum.de” and the “thanks” are visible in the related post.

And I like the rude button althought I haven’t used it up to now.

Btw: I don’t like this smiley: :person_facepalming:
In many cases it is used in an offending way, saying “your are a fool”. Can’t we get rid of it?

:beer:

:beer:

If that’s what it means, I need to use it more often on myself! :smiley:

If you do so, don’t forget to click the rude button …

lol!

Good sb! I just read a list of my flagged posts, which I have been wondering about. One was definitely neither rude, lewd nor conflictive, and I am 100 percent positive who flagged the other three.
Better, I agree with can, and others above, this has already improved the posting behavior of some members who necessitated new measures in the first place.
Best, besides consistently making great posts, points and contributions, Dale has now recently referenced Styx AND Rush!
