need.. crack.. fix..

In defense of the Mod an Admins not having fail function you must understand that a majority of people that receive points for doing something stupid being able to fail the mod that gave them points would be to high a temptation. While what you all say is true in that the fail button doesn't mean anything you still need to have "rules" around and those rules are (unofficially) that "Fail Stalking" ie. giving multiple fails to the same user for no reason or failing someone simply for failing you first is a no no. If you were stupid enough to deserve points your more than likely stupid enough to fail stalk a mod after. Having the mod team and admins Failproof is the most logical step in prevent people from abusing this function.

I personally don't care and deserved the fails I got for reposts etc.

Berz out.

Probably cause half the board hates him. Hell, even other mods do. Funny thing though cause he probably uses the fail button more than other people since he just clicks it if you disagree with him. Every board has a resident ass armed with wikipedia knowledge so I don't know why people get angry over his posts. Sometimes he gives good, legitimate advice.

I think he removed the ability to get failed after some thread in VLS. He posted something about clothes (obviously negative) and everyone in the thread failed him and called him an idiot. Of course, he promptly deleted those posts and removed his fails.

edit: just found this gem, first result in the google search. http://www.revscene.net/forums/skinnypupp-t189277.html :lol

^ lol , nice thread

74% to 26%..i think the mod team should really reconsider the fail system.

After a month or so of the fail button being gone,alot of the people currently wanting it back,won't even notice or care that it's gone,everyone will readapt quickly to how this place was before the fail button was introduced.

i dont use the fail button but i think it should be brought back, its what makes RS different from all the other forums

and lol at the ppl freaking out cuz they got failed, dont wanna get failed? dont post

Nothing wrong with posting. The important thing to do is to THINK before you post. :)

And possibly search ;)

Berz out.

RS doesn't feel like RS without fails :(

its probably just the x'mas theme... where everywhere u go is all about "thanks" lol

^ would've made more sense during Thanksgiving...

BTW, you are likely right; this is probably a holiday thing and we're all being trolled by the admins:

i would fail you all if i could

I'm going to start giving out "thanks" it's not the same as fail, but in my mind..it's a "fail"

No, you're all wrong. Whats really going on is the fail button has been removed..
However when it comes back, all of you will have 10k fails, but when you fail someone, you also get a fail for using the fail button

^ but if everyone has 10k fails. what do the people with no life on this forum do then? try and reach 20k fails?

^probably. I'm fine with that as long as the posts show that it's been failed.

Also the positive/negative rep idea would work if you wanted to filter the posts just by the person using it. I mean you already know somethings bad given the self earned rep by the person.

It doesn't really work if you wanted to know if the video or post that someone posted was worth the time. Most likely if it's someone with a lot of negative rep it'll be bad, but what about one of those odd times that they do post something of quality lol...maybe not.

i think the following procedures should be enforced in order to please the republic of revscene:

1. before posting, a user must submit a synopsis of their post to revscene. this synipsis must be approved by 30 readers and two mods to be considered
2. the proposed post must not mention anything negative regarding the republic of revscene, its mods or its regulations
3. once approved, the synonpsis will be examined by 5 mods and will be approved or diapproved. only posts which are for the betterment of revscene shall be approved. the rest of the proposed op's will be disapproved
4. for particularly bad post suggestions or ones which make the republic of recscene look bad, posters will be failed. they will also be shot and burnt alive, then fed to the trolls

we stand as one. we stand for all. the republic of revscene approves this message.

LOLOL found this in there hahaha funny cuz i thought the same at first too :lol

To be fair though, Skinnypup did do a lot of the web stuff for RS right? Atleast that's what I thought. He implemented most of what we use now?

The fail button is nothing without Skinnypup. It was his doing that brought it amongst many other things on RS you are not aware of that make RS what it is today.

Berz out.

holy crap i always thought skinnypup was asian because he lives in hk lol...haven't been here long enough to realize that haha

Hard to weed out retarded shit in NSFW forum now :( fuuuuuu

Love him or hate him (and god knows the site is polarized over that :lol), he's done a lot of badly needed backroom maintenance and added a lot of revenue sources for Revscene when the rest of us were unable to do so.

if the mods and admins wanna be fail proof then let them..
i don't care.

just bring back the button!!!!

i need my fix
