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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
