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

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

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.

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.

| - 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.

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. Quote:

| 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

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. |

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. | 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. Quote:

Same idea, less damning.

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. |

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. |
