According to the thread where he introduced the fail button: http://www.revscene.net/forums/intro...n-t593507.html
he stated from the beginning that admins cannot be failed?

^^ i think admin and mod are 2 different levels
o btw fail button is useless. people fail someone and then go on to verbally abuse them via post and then that post is thanked by people who agree, so it kinda acts like a fail button anyways.
and then there are the people who fail and doesnt justify it, im not talking about the obvious 10+ fails a post receives, those 1-2 fails that never get explained. they just use it because it differs from their opinion.
fail button is fucking fail,
ex/ i love arash grand master design work. i think he will have a lot coming for him in the future and i would glady purchase a aston martin-lookalike paper mache bumper for no less than 1000$ just because people have different taste , doesnt mean they should get failed.  | |

yeah I know but I thought skinnypup was considered an admin since he was here since the beginning and contributes a lot to the site too like mobile and then the fail button. I also never saw the fail button under his posts ever since the beginning so I figured he was immune.
of course I might be remembering wrong or he changed things by the time I saw his thread.

Admins had fail disabled from the very beginning, because I thought it would lead to conflict and I was certainly right. I know you guys too well 
Mods had fail removed for the same reason. We are the ones running the site, and basically I didn't want some butt-hurt trolls causing even more problems. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Yes, orange7 has a few more fails than you, but your post to fail ratio is pretty bad...

I miss the fail button. I wanted to fail the post announcing it had been removed.
It's not like it actually did anything. On another forum I'm on your ability to post using HTML, make topics, or post at all hang on your buddy/enemy ratio. If too many people enemy you, you're essentially banned from the forum.

Giving unwarranted fails should resolve into points unless a reason is given.
The fail button is a sweet "opinion" button for GTFO without actually having to type anything.

If the fail button doesn't come back, we can refuse to use the Thank button 
or just use "thank" as fails!

If the fail button comes back, I shall celebrate by going through that thread and granting fails when deserved.
It'll make me feel good.  | |

sometimes i do shit in hopes to get fails.. just cause it cracks me up.. lol
truthfully it made coming on Revscene a lot more enjoyable. plus it ACTUALLY made me want to go out and look for things to contribute to a lot of the threads (even if it was stupid). Problem here is a lot of people can't take constructive criticism; therefore, it's just easier to have a fail button.
it always struck me as peculiar to have a thanks button.. but no 'dislike' button. I guess if you really don't like it, don't say anything at all right? Everyone wants to be thanked, but they can't handle people thinking what they've posted was dumb.
okay i admit.. there are some assholes who do go and abuse that button... i AM one of them.. BUT ONLY to friends... mainly because it's childish rivalry..
but people need to seriously not get so ass hurt about getting failed.
pls bring it back

Instead of people just hitting the fail button,they are now making a post in response to a dumb post.It's actually interesting to open a thread and seeing many posts made on the topic,instead of seeing one or two posts with like 30 fails under them,which is just boring and a waste of time.
I do agree with what others have said,the NSFW section does need the fail button revised.
