[2016-06-11] Crackdown on rudeness

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!

Dale can’t be that bad of a guy if he digs Rush.

:stuck_out_tongue:

Excellent idea! Sb! Please.

Oh god, no. Half of my posts contain failed humor.

Try startpage.com. It provides google search results without google’s tracking, profiling or “filter bubble”. It even submits your searches securely so your ISP can’t see what you’re searching either (which also means it won’t be in your browser history). And startpage themselves does no tracking, recording IP addresses or anything whatsoever. privacy-policy

I think you might have forgotten to quote the important part of my post, the failed humour! :sushi:

It’s nice to see a “karma tool” is being implemented in this lovely forum.

Can i suggest a javascript or a few php lines to make reclaiming karma points easy, i’d like to be reincarnated into a food critic, or a dog, i recon dogs and cats are our masters and have the best lives, surely the last step befor nirvana

Dumb question but why do some think we need a thanks button?

Because there is a huge unpopulated hole besides the “no thanks” button

Edit: in all seriousness i can see the appeal, when as is often the case (from Jozz Toykeeper etc…) a member makes a great contribution to the forum in a post, other might be torn between just replying to express gratitude and pilling to a number of “thank you post” with little signal/noise or just stay silent to keep the thread clean, a thx button could help with that

So its a lazy person button. :wink:

Well, it could be construed as that. :stuck_out_tongue:

But, as others have said, it’s so that the thread doesn’t have to be littered up with +1’s and other congratulatory notes with little or no informational value to add to the discussion. Some people would rather say nothing than to bump a thread to say thanks for something somebody else said.

Personally, I don’t mind the ‘litter’ of thanks notes.
