| Fail Button - Are you for or against the Fail button? (POLL)
So with all the controversy (kind of) with the Fail Button being taken away, I'm curious to see how the actual numbers stack up for the Fail button so here is a poll.
Do you prefer Revscene with a fail button, or without?
If you have no clue whatsoever as to what I'm talking about, please click and read the following link. http://www.revscene.net/forums/revsc....html?t=633260
No need to voice your opinions in this thread, unless you want to.

Fail let's me know when I've done or posted or said something stupid.
If there were no fails, people wouldn't run searches before they posted their topics. (Assuming the search works).
I think I've got more fails than thanks. Makes sense to me.

the fail button is like communism,
it could work,
but too many people don't know how to use it.
i think there should be something along the lines of "disagree" or "dislike"

Here's my take on the subject. Quote:

I always proof read my posts prior to posting to avoid Fails, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Yes, it can help derail threads, but now Fight Club will be more empty than it already is, if e-thugs can't get mad over somebody failing one of their posts.
The Fail Button helps me screen through the good and bad posts in the Fucked up shit that makes you laugh forum, as well as the Twanger and White Chicks thread.
Revscene is the only forum I've ever seen that has anything as unique as the Fail button, and while I thought it was retarded in the beginning, I found that it actually is kind of fun, entertaining and useful.
Not having a fail button is like being in a Kindergarten Class, where you have to play nice all the time, and can only encourage each other. I see the good in taking away the fails, but I believe the bad outweighs the good.
Just my two cents. |

Revscene seemed to do alright before the thanks/fail buttons. There are rules and powers in place to keep posters in check.

Fail when you want, but don't troll around, following people's posts and failing it because you can. Fail a post? Atleast have a reason for it.
Ps: management reserve the right to remove fail/thanks from anyone, anytime, for reasons we see fit.
It's very simple. Fail/thanks started as a novelty. Shall remain that way. If it changes we'll axe it. Posted via RS Mobile |

I don't mind the fail button anywhere except for the Buy & Sell.
Buy & Sell should be as professional as possible, and should strictly be for business. No need for fails there, regardless of what retards post.

I think the fail button is a part of RS, same with all the emoticon that was created over the years.
Everyone can do without it, but it's just another option to have.
.....I like options.

how about limiting fails available per day to like 5? or have the amount based off of joindate/posts/thanks or something?
atleast that way it actually means something/you'll think twice about failing someone

i think the fail button also prevents some people from posting what could be pretty interesting threads because they are afraid of getting failed and "ruining" their perfect fail free record.
Hard to find the balance, but other popular forums don't have fail buttons and they have no problem handling spam. I think it's safer to encourage people to post rather than discourage them. The fail button indirectly discourages people from posting. No matter how minor this effect is, it's still there.
ok iono wtf I'm saying cuz it's late but you get the idea.

I already miss the fail button and had withdrawls while in the fucked up shit thread. Posted via RS Mobile | |

I give out about all 10 fails every day to people I dislike. 10 fails x 30days = 300 fails in one month. Thank you, please keep it.

At first I was against it cuz I see a lot of stupid fails being given out for no reason. It's only now when I start seeing them used a bit more responsibly. It would be great if we can fail people BUT give a mandatory reason why (eg. repost, logic fail, ugly NLS picture, etc).
