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.

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.

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.

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

^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. Posted via RS Mobile | |

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?
