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 now its REALLY communist

I say keep it! Most people use it responsibly and most people who vote against bringing back a fail button are probably the idiots who post stupid flameworthy comments and take Revscene too seriously.

It also lets me know which threads/posts that I shouldn't waste my time on.

And I think all admins should be fail-able because there is one *certain* egotistical admin that constantly posts his opinions and bashes/fails everyone who tries to say otherwise. Powertrip much.

We should have a feature to fail a fail so that failers are more accountable for their fails, so that if somebody's fail gets failed too much by others failing them then they would fail to keep their fail privileges resulting in them failing even moreso than the person they failed.

You could easily turn the tables around and ask why are you getting so bent out of shape for protecting abolishment of the fail button. Its just the internet right?

That would cut out the little kids who play fail-tag in some threads.

We already had something like this before the Fail/Thanks option.

It was called Fight Club.
Before the random negativity was spread all over the forums, negative threads were just moved to FC, and everything was dealt with there.

Mr.HappySilp 12-21-2010 06:46 PM

Bring back the FAIL! And while at it make it so we can fail mods too =D

Bouncing Bettys 12-21-2010 07:10 PM

so many arguments in this thread can be made to argue for the opposite position by just changing a word or two

tiger_handheld 12-21-2010 07:55 PM

if the fail button is back, everyone should be able to get failed.

users,mods,admins

Hondaracer 12-21-2010 08:19 PM

the internet is negative

That's when I had no fail button and top of that being targeted posts. I didn't fail people on purpose afterwards even when it had. Get your timeline straight. :rolleyes:

drunkrussian 12-21-2010 09:27 PM

usually when someone posts a stupid thread, one person comes up with a really clever "fuck you cocksucker" comment and a shitload of people "Thank" that person for summing up their feelings of hate, in one entertaining post.

When this person is thanked, not only is it a "Fail" to the OP, but also a twisted compliment to the poster who posted the "Cocksucker" comment regarding the OP's post.

this process >>>>Fail Button.

wingies 12-21-2010 09:31 PM

If the fail comes back, EVERYONE must be able to be failed. Why the hell do mods get exempt from being failed? Failed is usually because one doesnt agree or like wht the poster posted, thus failing them. Does that mean we cannot disagree or not like what mods post?

Keep the fails away unless it applies to everyone

sonick 12-21-2010 10:03 PM

They should make a new button that means and works exactly the same thing as a FAIL, but call it JQNB or something meaningless so people don't get their panties in a bunch when they get JQNB'd.

fliptuner 12-21-2010 11:21 PM

They should make it so that for every year you've been a member, you need to be given that many fails before it registers.

ie. noobs get failed easier and I need 7 fails to show 1

:fuckyea:

midnight_r 12-22-2010 01:09 AM

no.. how can i FAIL Arash and Tempo now...:facepalm::facepalm:

Bring it back

Jegz 12-22-2010 01:40 AM

When was the FAIL button introduced?

Renthal 12-22-2010 01:40 AM

bring it back
it adds so much more entertainment value to this site :thumbsup:

GrapeDrink 12-22-2010 01:41 AM

I think for the most part, people had used the fail button fairly reasonably, there were probably a few cases I Saw where people were just abusing it but for the most part I think the fail button did a fairly good job of quality control for the posts. Because people had to actually to think before they posted any random crap they think may be mildly funny and etc. Now my favorite threads (Fucked up shit what makes you laugh and twangers hahaa) going to get flooded with sub par material.

NJMR 12-22-2010 01:46 AM

maybe a fail button just for the NSFW section? thats where they seem to be given out the most.

I know.
Just reminding people that we had something that worked before.

The Fail/Thanks thing just dumbed down RS.
I suggested the Pos/Neg Rep thing before. Instead, we get Fail/Thanks.

Neg/Pos rep just shows as a Neg/Posi rep. Instead of showing a single post with a bunch of Fail spams. So instead of "Oh hey. These guys failed this guy for this post, I'm gonna tag him with a fail too because it's funny" Someone can just Neg rep the poster without leaving a tag, and the User will just be shown as a guy with a neg rep.

What I'm wondering, is who actually thought up of the idea of the Fail/Thanks thing in the first place.
And if that person is Skinnypup, why was he immune to fails?
Just saying.
