Oh... and while we are on topic....

The fail button was what made Revscene, Revscene. Removing the fail button from this forum is just like removing the mole off Cindy Crawford's face. It's just not the same.

I used to hate the fail button, then I got used to it, but I don't think people should be failed for reposting because often they didn't do it on purpose....

I don't know why the FAILs have to be part of your profile. If someone makes a stupid post and they get 50 fails, the fails should stick with that post instead of it having to follow the user around forever with "Failed 50 times in 1 post"

Every member should be given 999,999,999 fails.

Very good point. I don't think people care so much about getting fails as they do about the number of fails that shows up on their profile.
If you make one stupid post and get 100 fails it stays on your profile and makes you look kinda stupid lol.

case in point:

miss_crayon's post (post #9) received like a shit ton of fails or so I remember and it was because she wasn't thinking or it slipped her mind that the post she was quoting was referring to lottery tickets. One dumb mistake in a post and it's now on her profile forever with a 103 fails in 18 posts.

I don't think she cares but I'm just saying :D

I generally have no opinion to the fail button, since I probably fail one person once in a blue moon. I do agree that we should give reasons to failing though, cuz that person would never understand their wrong doing.

A perfect example is just like a piece of homework from school. If the teacher just gives you an "F" without explaining why you're doing this wrong, you're just gonna keep heading that wrong direction.

When usually there's this one post that gets hundreds of fails, probably like only 3 people might reply with only two or three words like "Oh, it's ugly. Fail." The fails usually just keep adding up due to the so-called "By-Stander" effect. Unless anyone ever truely explain what is wrong with that post, due to grammer or repost or reason for disagreement, more threads would just become trolled.

FIGHT THE POWER!

why do people get so concerned and worked up about how many fails they get on their profile?
are you guys that concerned about your internet ego?

its the internet....

bring back the FAIL
:fuckyea:

i guess a lot of people didn't realise there WAS a limit in place. 10 fails per 24hrs. initially it was unlimited but guys like mugen evolution ruined that for us lol :D

hmm maybe the fail button SHOULD be re-activated. After I read the the quoted text, my first instinct was to fail that post. But alas the button was gone.

theres so many new post in other forums that are in urgent need of failing....

if only we could fail....



:alone:

I wish I could fail you for this post.I'm suprised you did not collect 10,000 fails during your time on RS.

I suggest you go back a few pages and read a post made by a MOD,the MOD clearly states,revscene has survived for almost 10 years without the fail button.

Do you really think a button that a member can click,actually made this place what it is today?

I clearly remember the fail button was introduced specifically for you and your dumb trolling posts/threads.

Removing the feature to fail posts will just open up users to verbal abuse instead of a single click of a button.

^ my thoughts exactly. sometimes a simple "fail" is less hurtful than a long ranting post about how OP is a moron.

FTFY.

Well hes gone now..or banned so :fuckyea: LET TEH FAIL BEGIN

I'm down with the one fail per day idea, using it wisely.

You were one of the ones complaining about being failed... yet now you're all for it? Bandwagoner.

Owned.

Why not just do it so when you click on fail, a small box pops up and you have to type the reason why you failed it. Then mods can do random audits and hand out points as they see fit

lol @ people worried about their number of fails..

only thing different, mods should be able to be failed

a lot of people including myself don't post much, but i find that failing is a community thing similar to posting. BRING IT BACK WOO WOO

yeah i agree with adding a reason for failing someone.

someone failed one of my posts, but quoted me and bolded the part where i was a hypocrit, doing what i said i wouldnt do in that same post (fail lol). so, yeah, i actually appreciate the way he failed me, because i didnt even realize i did what i did ;p

but it confuzzled me when i got failed for asking for transmission swap advice... wasnt given a reason for the fail ;[

EDIT:
MERRY XMAS everyone ;D!

and how old are you?

i can't believe the fail button is gone, people really give a shit about fails? it's just the internet for fuck sakes.

breathe, walk out your room, step outside, breathe again, now begin the process called life.

You know, I'm curious about something. All of you who say you want the fail button to remain, why are you getting so bent out of shape about it? It's just the internet right?

http://c1345842.cdn.cloudfiles.racks...png?1288094469Awww was it removed for the Christmas season? I bet santa would give a "fail" in the form of a lump of coal. Bring it back please.
