I'm disappointed that the fail button is back, but I guess things will just go back to normal now.

awesome

I guess we will have to see how the new rules will come into play for the return of the fail button.

Wake up. The FAIL and THANKS buttons MEAN NOTHING AT ALL. They're just there for fun. You don't lose access or get points or gain or lose any sort of "rankings" for either of them. If someone FAILs you... SO THE FUCK WHAT?

Are you really that thin-skinned that it actually affects your ability to post? If so, if what others think of your posts means THAT much to you, then you probably don't have anything worthwhile to add anyway.

Damn right, way better than a fail system. People are too self-conscious about their internet identity.

LiquidTurbo 12-26-2010 09:05 PM
Cut the guy some slack. The dude only joined RS Oct 2010. He was never around before there were no fails. LOL.

!SG 12-26-2010 09:22 PM
you can actually thank orgasm donor, niteraven, and rb. they made the first major decision as admins, i implimented the change, it sparked a good debate and made it aware that changes to the system were needed. if the initial action was not made, the fail would have gotten way too out of hand, and it would have just straight out be canned, instead it was caught early enough that changes could be made.

new ground rules, limits per day on how many fails u can give.
limits on which forums are failable are the 2 that come to mind.

?NR 12-26-2010 09:23 PM
  • each member has the ability to fail 5 times per day.
  • each post has a fail lifetimer for a duration of 7 days, once passed it will be unfailable.
  • previous regulations on fails still stand, and will be more aggressively enforced in the future. DO NOT ABUSE IT! Aside from having the ability to remove it permanently for all, we also have the ban button.
  • I still encourage that if you were to fail someone, atleast have the good sense to state why.
  • certain forums have no fail ability.
  • possibility of yet another button to supplement the fail/thanks button. TBA.

we'll give it another go with the fail/thanks system, and hope it will have good outcomes. otherwise, happy posting and REMEMBER it is just a novelty tool.

!SG 12-26-2010 09:24 PM
umm, fail button was introduced less than a year ago.

RS has been around for a decade. it survived and evolved for 9 whole years before fail button was introduced.

moderators, admins, all higher ups are still and will be unfailable.

DEAL WITH IT

Needs a "MEH" button for truly mediocre posts.

And I still say the Thanks button should be renamed to a WIN button. Makes much more sense: FAIL/MEH/WIN

Cillu 12-26-2010 10:56 PM
^I like that idea.

Cman333 12-26-2010 10:59 PM
Why do people even care so much that they're getting failed? You say something stupid, you get failed. Its no different from calling someone a moron on the internet. Oh noes... azntriadcivicboy604 called bigtymgangsta123 a homo.

I find it more humorous than anything.

People just need to lighten up and stupid people need to stop being stupid.

Well maybe not, stupid people are entertaining. :)

A high fail count affects people's perception of my online identity, which is on some level important to me, I don't want to be the laughing stock of RS after all; I'm not Arash. Is my online identity actually important, not really; its the perception of the peers I interact with using my actual identity that truly matters. I assure you, I have a great deal worthwhile to contribute to the public in general, just not necessarily to this audience.

A fail from some members I take as a compliment.

I never experienced RS without fails, aside from this short break, and since a history of the fail button was never posted I only assumed it had been in place for a significant portion of the forums history. Had I been aware it were less than a year old my post would have been different, I plead ignorance?

donjalapeno 12-26-2010 11:30 PM
people who lost there fail buttons should be given another chance with the new rules applied :)

Renthal 12-26-2010 11:44 PM
its my birthday today and by far the greatest present is having the fail button back.
:troll:

I'll suggest this to add a touch of humor and reduce the negative overtone - reconfigure the FAIL as a FUUUUUUUUuuuuu button. Same idea, less damning.

Just a thought.

It's a Festivus miracle!!!

I am sorry, a bunch of RS strangers will not care about your internet feelings. :\

And surely, your internet identity means nothing to us... Unless you become a RS legend, like Jeffield or AsNoobAsItGets, that's turning your internet identity to real life crisis. :D

If it makes you feel any better, before this thread, nobody knew who the fuck you were.

Now you're known as the thin-skinned guy who can't take fails cuz u judge ppl based on who you think they are rather than what they say. :troll:
