i have no opinion on the fail button and am satisfied with whatever the result is.
With that said, let me activate my hate button:
To the people saying it prevents people from reposts, or makes them more cautious or w/e, you're trying to rationalize. All it does is spread hate, nobody gives a fuck about the hate button
To the people who say they like it because it keeps them in check and makes them see via group decision if they're right or wrong or funny or unfunny - get a personality and some self esteem.
To the people who say removing it is communism, I find you guys the funniest, because the way you talk about the value of the fail button to you in regulating yourself within the community - that sounds like communism to me.
With all that said, like i said before, I don't care about the fail button one way or another. I do like the thanks button though - spready positive energy is always a good thing, for everyone.

| how about rather than accumulating fail #,
any fails you receive reduces your "thanks"?

bring back the fail button | You should be telling this to the person or people who keyed those two cars with the word "fail".

IF it gets brought back I'm sure the Fail button will be modded more closely and points will result from "Fail Stalking" as well as removal of privileges to keep member in check. If you can't be mature about the Fail button be expected to be treated immaturely.
Berz out.

ahh, i had forgotten about the keying incidents. those were odd since they involved two members who aren't regulars. both were civics and both were keyed within the same area. dammit.

I've been lurking RS long before I started posting and there were no problems with troll posts before the fail button was introduced. I mean you get the usual spam once in a while but I don't think we treat spam any differently now than we did before. In fact, after the fail button was introduced you get people like Zhangfei spamming useless threads about having a north face jacket in the winter time just to get failed. Oh btw, Zhangfei is cool 
I still think the fail button discourages people from posting. No matter how ridiculous you guys think this reasoning is, I am willing to bet a great number of people have decided against posting a thread or sharing a funny video just because they didn't think it was "worth it" to get fails.
Doesn't matter if these people are pansies, it's still the fail button that is causing people to hold back.
Rants or complaints are another big thing. I don't mean useless pointless rants about mainlanders. Often times rants/complaints have good reasoning behind them. Of course one will most likely receive both thanks and fails from people with differing opinions on the rant. Due to this, I bet many people hold back from posting what would be an interesting topic. A forum should be a place that encourages discussion after all.
The thanks button is all about positivity while the fail button is about negativity. I think we can all live without the fail button.
NSFW threads I do agree the fail button will come in handy.
edit:
I voted against the fail button due to the above reasons but I really do not mind if it gets brought back. I mean I did use it once in a while and have had it used against me so it's no biggie to me. I just hope admins can be failed too if it gets brought back

who the hell takes getting failed seriously??
too much coddling nowadays!
I bet those who are whining about it are the ones referred to as "SPAZ" in the real world. Remember those kids in highschool? Those who can't take a joke or a prank, who can't dish anything back and just snaps like an idiot, yup must be plenty of those in here...

How about we just limit the amount of fails a person can give out daily, like 5 or 10 fails and they renew every day.

I see some valid points about the FAIL button using it to distinguish quality posts, prevent trash from being posted, and in general showing a dislike for something that is a flagrant troll post.
To the people who can't handle being failed...give your balls a tug. Generally there is GOOD reason to being failed. If not, brush it off your shoulder princess.
And the issue of being fail-stalked has been addressed already (where mods can take action).
I hope the backbone of Revscene can continue to evolve in the right direction. Most forums have a +/- ability for each post which is a great idea. Having a FAIL button instead of a - is unique to Revscene and definitely has its merits. I hope you guys make the right thought out decision.

I beg to differ. Although I do AGREE that my past posts were useless, on the other hand, almost all of the threads on OT are also completely useless. The majority of posts in OT are about sharing youtube videos and replying with internet memes, usually with a picture. And the person who replied with the the latest internet meme gets the most thanks.
OT is like some random daily updated forum for people to get their shits and giggles for the day. That's where I get my latest news, or scandals or latest viral videos from. If you get a fail, don't be a Bradford Chow and take things too seriously.
I got banned from writing fucked up shit in in fight club. I thought I would be immune writing shit in that forum. LOL. But guess not.
But now it seems like trolling is the latest internet meme. I do admit I was doing that BEFORE IT WAS COOL. Now since everyone is posting troll posts with the troll face, that shit is played out like nammer kappa pants.
