I wish orange7 would just jump off a cliff and stop wasting our oxygen.

Great to here the fail button has been removed, I'm looking forward to a much friendlier and honest RS. I know I frequently questioned, will be failed for this before posting, and edited accordingly.

I'm surprised how many people support the fail button being removed.. I didn't expect that!

Wow, you really have a hate on for orange7.

I don't mind him at all.

Now apologize and make up. Let's all be friends.


I love you
You love me
We're a happy family
With a great big hug
And a kiss from me to you
Won't you say you love me too?

I love you
You love me
We're best friends
Like friends should be
With a great big hug
And a kiss from me to you
Won't you say you love me too?

Sig'ed. Thank you, sir.

instead of removing the fail, maybe we could rename it to something else less intimidating?

Maybe rename it to "thumb down" button or "orange7" or something like that.
Okay, those names suck, but you get my idea.

In my opinion, the fail button isn't really a "pessimistic calling them out on it" button. It's more of a joke and fun button for me. I find it hilarious when everyone jumps on a bandwagon and mass fail a post even if it wasn't fail worthy. Furthermore, we need some kind of downsides to balance all the thanked.

Now that with the fail button gone, ppl will just start calling the poster of a stupid post loser in full cap or something like that. Before it would just simply be a fail.

I'd rather purposely post marginally retarded posts and receive fails than to receive a big LOSER.

/end rant of losing the fun fail button :(

I think that just by you asking me to rename the button is reason enough to leave it as-is. organge7 has spoken, and we have done the opposite. yay!

Your presence speaks louder than any four letter F-word. :thumbsup:

I think the whole point of the fail button is to make ppl edit their posts before posting them. Which in your case, the fail button is working.

so why remove something that is doing its job for certain people? :confused:

in the end, I'm not in charge.. so w/e.. life goes on.

2 days from now arash is gonna leave RS just cause he cant troll anyone :fuckyea:

i love rs for the fail function.. now that its gone its like any other forum now :cry:

RS is not fun anymore :cry:

nooooooooo fail button was my favourite rs function :(

i anxiously await it's return. i predict the rate of retarded posts is going to see a spike in the near future.

There is an important distinction between preventing trolls from posting with the intention of getting a rise out of members, and editing posts to exclude a completely valid point to avoid being failed, because an opinion may be unpopular.

okay. I accept that answer.

I'm going to have nightmares tonight about this and when I wake up hoping it was only a dream :alone:

agreed :thumbsup:

Agree. I'm glad the button was removed. A lot of people like to jump on the fail bandwagon just because they see other people failing the OP. Many times it's the result of misinterpretation of the OP's story or false assumptions about the OP due to lack of reading comprehension.

I don't see how troll posts will increase as long as people make good use of the report spam button.

i would say fail you right now if i could :fuckyea:

kidding :)

And instead of failing...I'll just ban!

Kidding. :)

my mouse start to move towards the right... already forgot the fail button was taken away while reading this thread.

About time. Too many fails were given out because someone didn't like what someone else was saying and not because the post was actually retarded. :thumbsup:

Next up should be the NWS avatars, can't browse RS at work... lol

^ just turn off avatars then...

True, but can we make it easier to turn it off? A button in a more convenient place? Now that kind of button I can appreciate. I love avatars, but not at work. I ID people by their avatars.

Let the trolling begin. :haha:

Now I can be stoopid and unhelpful without worries.

You missed the memo. You will get banned, instead. The ultimate fail.

fail button for the most part was accurate...but the mob/bandwagon mentality on RS is too strong.
