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.

No need to voice your opinions in this thread, unless you want to.

[-EuroRSN-]

Just cause a few ppl cried about getting "failed" so much doesnt mean we should take it away. Some people truly do fucking fail lol and I want to let them know about it oh wait there is no fail button...nvm :( guess its all verbal abuse from here

I say keep THE FAIL BUTTON!

[Culverin]

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.

^^^ hahah Gold thread.

Berz out.

[boss_clad]

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"

[hchang]

Here's my take on the subject.


Honestly, I'm kind of against this Fail function being removed.

I always proof read my posts prior to posting to avoid Fails, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Now with the Fail button removed I'm 99% sure everybody who proof reads, including myself will not proof read as often, or might not even proof read at all, which will result in a lot of hard to read/understand posts.

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.

[jpark]

i liked the fail button at least on the fucked up shit that makes you laugh thread so i could filter through which vids are worthy to watch or not lol

[Bouncing Bettys]

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

[MelonBoy]

er.. i bet the people who are complaining about the fail button are the ones who keep getting failed for stupid shit they post.. >.> I mean if you take out the fail button you might as well take out the thanks toooooo :O

This aint no communist forum we need choices! :D




(GG i bet some people wana fail me after this post.. suckaaaa's)

[donjalapeno]

people take advantage of it....for example

trolling posts and failing
failing personal opionion

and taking away fail buttons was a stupid idea too, just another way too get heated arguements going, last thing we want is people hating on eachother.

[hchang]

failing personal opionion



Yeah but you also fail and thank people based on person opinion as well.


Rules: don't abuse it.

Thank when you want.
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.

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.

[deep87]

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

[shenmecar]

WTF, Removing the FAIL button is FAIL. I SAY BRING IT BACK!

[Oleophobic]

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 see what you're trying to get at but if you're scared to post something because you'll get "failed" then you need to grow a pair.

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.

[Gnomes]

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).

[!SG]

interested in how ppl see this.

[stewie]

personally i could care less about the fail button...if people are that upset about it being taken away, maybe its time for some people to step away from their computer and discover the outside world, theres so much to do out there to occupy your time instead of going through posts and failing people so you can jump on the bandwagon.

[gdoh]

wow really... some people taking this thank/fail shit to close to heart its the fuckin internet do you guys really care that much about being failed? seriously?

bring back the fail button

[LiquidTurbo]

We are all unfailable like mods and SkinnyPupp? What fun is that!
Posted via RS Mobile (http://www.revscene.net/forums/announcement.php?a=228)

[LiquidTurbo]

I think a good compromise would be to keep fails forth NSFW section. That section needs to have quality posts for sure. In all other sections we could have a thumbs up 'like' or 'diskike' feature similar to YouTube. These would not count toward any kind of record, but would just point to the quality of the post without being too derogatory.

Something like "35 users liked this post"


'Thanks' if you support this idea. 'fail' if you.....nevermind.

[CharlieH]

im gonna fail everyone who voted against the fail button when they bring it back

[Inaii]

^precisely why they got rid of it.

[spoon.ek9]

seriously now, if the fail button was removed because of a few cry babies then we need to bring it back. those who care/cry about fails are literally placing fails on a pedestal. these are FAILS on the INTERNET from RANDOM people. give your head a shake if fails really rattle you that much.

side note: 75% in favour of fail button as of this post :D

[Great68]

I think for someone to be able to use the fail button, they should be forced to enter a reply/reason/rebuttle argument.

That would cut out the little kids who play fail-tag in some threads.

[GLOW]

if someone is complaining they are getting failed too many times, they should make less "fail-worthy" posts.

abuse of the fail button gets investigated by mod's already so why remove it completely?

everyone gets failed on here at least once, get over it - it's the internet

who cares, if the failer doesn't have the courtesy to offer up an explanation as to why they disagreed with your post and failed it why take it seriously? they are just tryin to stir the pot.
I'll admit I've failed people just for the hell of it and I'll do it again. Why? Why not after all its just the internet and I'm one of the assholes in it so get over yourself ya whiny bitches.


fail fail fail fail

[drunkrussian]

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.

i don't care either way. it was nice to just click a button when someone was being a moron or douche but i wont lose sleep over it

[Berzerker]

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.

[Oleophobic]

I'm just saying that RS survived for nearly 10 years without the fail button.

oui oui

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 :thumbsup:

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 :p

/thread

Wow seriously? Whining and complaining? The OP started this thread as an open discussion about the merits of the FAIL.

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.

[bloodmack]

jesus christ chang, I dunno which display pic is more mesmerizing, berz or yours. :drool

[spyker]

There was already a cap on how many fails a member can give a day.

It's not like it was limitless.

[ZhangFei]

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.

[Energy]

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.

So I have 5 fails a day and its now 11:55pm and I haven't used any of my fails... Oh no I have to go use my fails, time to randomly fail people!!!

[ZhangFei]

Oh... and while we are on topic....

The fail button was what made Revscene, Revscene. Removing the fail button from this forum is just like removing the mole off Cindy Crawford's face. It's just not the same.

[snowball]

I used to hate the fail button, then I got used to it, but I don't think people should be failed for reposting because often they didn't do it on purpose....

I don't know why the FAILs have to be part of your profile. If someone makes a stupid post and they get 50 fails, the fails should stick with that post instead of it having to follow the user around forever with "Failed 50 times in 1 post"

[sonick]

Every member should be given 999,999,999 fails.

I don't know why the FAILs have to be part of your profile. If someone makes a stupid post and they get 50 fails, the fails should stick with that post instead of it having to follow the user around forever with "Failed 50 times in 1 post"

Very good point. I don't think people care so much about getting fails as they do about the number of fails that shows up on their profile.
If you make one stupid post and get 100 fails it stays on your profile and makes you look kinda stupid lol.

case in point:
http://www.revscene.net/forums/write-letter-yourself-t607710.html

miss_crayon's post (post #9) received like a shit ton of fails or so I remember and it was because she wasn't thinking or it slipped her mind that the post she was quoting was referring to lottery tickets. One dumb mistake in a post and it's now on her profile forever with a 103 fails in 18 posts.

I don't think she cares but I'm just saying :D

[PDA_86]

I generally have no opinion to the fail button, since I probably fail one person once in a blue moon. I do agree that we should give reasons to failing though, cuz that person would never understand their wrong doing.

A perfect example is just like a piece of homework from school. If the teacher just gives you an "F" without explaining why you're doing this wrong, you're just gonna keep heading that wrong direction.

When usually there's this one post that gets hundreds of fails, probably like only 3 people might reply with only two or three words like "Oh, it's ugly. Fail." The fails usually just keep adding up due to the so-called "By-Stander" effect. Unless anyone ever truely explain what is wrong with that post, due to grammer or repost or reason for disagreement, more threads would just become trolled.

Do you really think a button that a member can click,actually made this place what it is today?

I say keep it! Most people use it responsibly and most people who vote against bringing back a fail button are probably the idiots who post stupid flameworthy comments and take Revscene too seriously.

It also lets me know which threads/posts that I shouldn't waste my time on.

And I think all admins should be fail-able because there is one *certain* egotistical admin that constantly posts his opinions and bashes/fails everyone who tries to say otherwise. Powertrip much.

[sonick]

We should have a feature to fail a fail so that failers are more accountable for their fails, so that if somebody's fail gets failed too much by others failing them then they would fail to keep their fail privileges resulting in them failing even moreso than the person they failed.

You could easily turn the tables around and ask why are you getting so bent out of shape for protecting abolishment of the fail button. Its just the internet right?

Lol, I'm not getting bent out of shape. As I said, I'm curious.

[SpuGen]

I think for someone to be able to use the fail button, they should be forced to enter a reply/reason/rebuttle argument.

That would cut out the little kids who play fail-tag in some threads.

We already had something like this before the Fail/Thanks option.

It was called Fight Club.
Before the random negativity was spread all over the forums, negative threads were just moved to FC, and everything was dealt with there.

if the fail button is back, everyone should be able to get failed.

users,mods,admins

[BaoTurbo]

You were one of the ones complaining about being failed... yet now you're all for it? Bandwagoner.
That's when I had no fail button and top of that being targeted posts. I didn't fail people on purpose afterwards even when it had. Get your timeline straight. :rolleyes:

[drunkrussian]

usually when someone posts a stupid thread, one person comes up with a really clever "fuck you cocksucker" comment and a shitload of people "Thank" that person for summing up their feelings of hate, in one entertaining post.

When this person is thanked, not only is it a "Fail" to the OP, but also a twisted compliment to the poster who posted the "Cocksucker" comment regarding the OP's post.

this process >>>>Fail Button.

[wingies]

If the fail comes back, EVERYONE must be able to be failed. Why the hell do mods get exempt from being failed? Failed is usually because one doesnt agree or like wht the poster posted, thus failing them. Does that mean we cannot disagree or not like what mods post?

Keep the fails away unless it applies to everyone

[sonick]

They should make a new button that means and works exactly the same thing as a FAIL, but call it JQNB or something meaningless so people don't get their panties in a bunch when they get JQNB'd.

[fliptuner]

They should make it so that for every year you've been a member, you need to be given that many fails before it registers.

ie. noobs get failed easier and I need 7 fails to show 1

:fuckyea:

it adds so much more entertainment value to this site :thumbsup:

[GrapeDrink]

I think for the most part, people had used the fail button fairly reasonably, there were probably a few cases I Saw where people were just abusing it but for the most part I think the fail button did a fairly good job of quality control for the posts. Because people had to actually to think before they posted any random crap they think may be mildly funny and etc. Now my favorite threads (Fucked up shit what makes you laugh and twangers hahaa) going to get flooded with sub par material.

[NJMR]

maybe a fail button just for the NSFW section? thats where they seem to be given out the most.

2 years before you, pretty sure I know what Fight club is all about :p

I know.
Just reminding people that we had something that worked before.

The Fail/Thanks thing just dumbed down RS.
I suggested the Pos/Neg Rep thing before. Instead, we get Fail/Thanks.

Neg/Pos rep just shows as a Neg/Posi rep. Instead of showing a single post with a bunch of Fail spams. So instead of "Oh hey. These guys failed this guy for this post, I'm gonna tag him with a fail too because it's funny" Someone can just Neg rep the poster without leaving a tag, and the User will just be shown as a guy with a neg rep.

What I'm wondering, is who actually thought up of the idea of the Fail/Thanks thing in the first place.
And if that person is Skinnypup, why was he immune to fails?
Just saying.

[goo3]

need.. crack.. fix..

[Berzerker]

In defense of the Mod an Admins not having fail function you must understand that a majority of people that receive points for doing something stupid being able to fail the mod that gave them points would be to high a temptation. While what you all say is true in that the fail button doesn't mean anything you still need to have "rules" around and those rules are (unofficially) that "Fail Stalking" ie. giving multiple fails to the same user for no reason or failing someone simply for failing you first is a no no. If you were stupid enough to deserve points your more than likely stupid enough to fail stalk a mod after. Having the mod team and admins Failproof is the most logical step in prevent people from abusing this function.

I personally don't care and deserved the fails I got for reposts etc.

Berz out.

[Vinny G]

And if that person is Skinnypup, why was he immune to fails?

Probably cause half the board hates him. Hell, even other mods do. Funny thing though cause he probably uses the fail button more than other people since he just clicks it if you disagree with him. Every board has a resident ass armed with wikipedia knowledge so I don't know why people get angry over his posts. Sometimes he gives good, legitimate advice.

I think he removed the ability to get failed after some thread in VLS. He posted something about clothes (obviously negative) and everyone in the thread failed him and called him an idiot. Of course, he promptly deleted those posts and removed his fails.

[rsx]

I'm going to start giving out "thanks" it's not the same as fail, but in my mind..it's a "fail"

[!Yaminashi]

No, you're all wrong. Whats really going on is the fail button has been removed..
However when it comes back, all of you will have 10k fails, but when you fail someone, you also get a fail for using the fail button

[asahai69]

^ but if everyone has 10k fails. what do the people with no life on this forum do then? try and reach 20k fails?

[ForbiddenX]

^probably. I'm fine with that as long as the posts show that it's been failed.

Also the positive/negative rep idea would work if you wanted to filter the posts just by the person using it. I mean you already know somethings bad given the self earned rep by the person.

It doesn't really work if you wanted to know if the video or post that someone posted was worth the time. Most likely if it's someone with a lot of negative rep it'll be bad, but what about one of those odd times that they do post something of quality lol...maybe not.

[drunkrussian]

i think the following procedures should be enforced in order to please the republic of revscene:

1. before posting, a user must submit a synopsis of their post to revscene. this synipsis must be approved by 30 readers and two mods to be considered
2. the proposed post must not mention anything negative regarding the republic of revscene, its mods or its regulations
3. once approved, the synonpsis will be examined by 5 mods and will be approved or diapproved. only posts which are for the betterment of revscene shall be approved. the rest of the proposed op's will be disapproved
4. for particularly bad post suggestions or ones which make the republic of recscene look bad, posters will be failed. they will also be shot and burnt alive, then fed to the trolls

we stand as one. we stand for all. the republic of revscene approves this message.

According to the thread where he introduced the fail button:
http://www.revscene.net/forums/introducing-fail-button-t593507.html

he stated from the beginning that admins cannot be failed?

[geeknerd]

^^ 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.
























:troll:

[Oleophobic]

^
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.

[SkinnyPupp]

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.

Fight Club needed something to bring it back from the dead. Thank God.

[StaxBundlez]

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:D

I have also noticed how much more livelier this place has become in general.

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.

So you would rather have 30 people calling someone an idiot rather than a list of fails? I prefer a list of fails and do you really need to explain a fail. Most times it's pretty self explanatory.

Berz out.

[spyker]

Berz I would find it way more interesting in reading others opinion on why the OP is being called a idiot,versus just seeing the word "FAIL".

There have been many times where I would see a thread on a topic,it would have like 2 posts made in it,I open the thread and see like 20 fails on the first post,I don't even bother reading it.I just click back to the forum section and browse some more.

[woob]

Most of the time, however, people will not give their opinion on why they call the OP an idiot. And we'll end up with, as Berz said, 30 posts of "what a tard" without any explanation.

Also, I don't see your second point as a negative. Heaps of fails on an OP speeds up my browsing by labeling the dumb threads.

It's almost amusing at how offended some of you are getting when confronted by those who feel that the fail button isn't necessary... :lol

[Kamui712]

Fail button was humorous and fun at first, people turned it into something derogatory when they added comments like "OP is such a fag" etc..

This led to people feeling like they needed to be careful when posting to appease the "failers".

IMO fail button was fine until it turned into such a negative tool. It's literally like painting a big target on someone to be failed over and over by other members. RS members should not feel restricted in posting because they're afraid of being ostracized with a fail.

[jasonturbo]

I think there should be a ratio in place of thanks>fails, when someone is heavy with the fails and doesnt thank enough, they should get the the title of "hater" in their Sig/Avater..

Something like that?

But fail button ftw, some people just need to be failed, saves me the trouble of writing a post about why they suck.

[unit]

actually first thing i realized once the fail disappeared was the lower quality of posts on RS without the fail button. i was against it, now i think im for it.

[LiquidTurbo]

Too bad it didn't make the low quality posters go away. :D haha.

Fail is good for weeding out reposts and shitty posts quick.

However, it's not good if the goal is to have maximum posting diversity.

[MindBomber]

I'm strongly opposed to the fail button; I've definitely noticed a slightly higher number of low quality posts since the fail button has been removed, but I've also felt RS is much more open. Overall, I think people just need more time to adjust.

actually first thing i realized once the fail disappeared was the lower quality of posts on RS without the fail button. i was against it, now i think im for it.

I still think the best compromise is ONE fail per day.

You can't abuse the fail button if you can only use it once per day. That way, if some gets failed by more than one person, they the post is TRULY terrible. Best of both worlds.

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]

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.

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.


Cut the guy some slack. The dude only joined RS Oct 2010. He was never around before there were no fails. LOL.

THANK YOU!

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.

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]

people who lost there fail buttons should be given another chance with the new rules applied :)

[Renthal]

its my birthday today and by far the greatest present is having the fail button back.

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.

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:

Another chapter in the RS Saga closed... thanks mods

Then we agree... like my post says its not really that important to me :p

I don't know where your getting that from, not me, Soundy's hackneyed post maybe. Thin skin has fuck all to do with why I don't support the fail, but this discussion has been settled by the mod staff, so time to move on.

[d1]

How did the admins come up with a limit of 5? I don't think I've ever used more than 5 fails a day.

[jpark]

^i used it more than 5 times a day on arash's thread :facepalm:

[Alby]

people who lost there fail buttons should be given another chance with the new rules applied :)

so i gather that only certain members were allowed back access to the fail button while others are not?

for one, i don't have it and not sure why.

You know what affects your "online identity" and makes you look like a complete douche?

WHINING ABOUT SOMETHING AS INCONSEQUENTIAL AS FAILS.

:facepalm:

You don't want to be a laughing stock? Then don't be the next :noob:.

Your obsession over the fact that someone disagrees with your opinion on an issue, I never whined, I stated my thoughts. Some people agree with them, some don't; thats just the way life is.

Complaining about something that has no consequence in real OR online life = whining.

Suck it up, princess.

for one, i don't have it and not sure why.

Its not a bad idea if its used correctly. In my situation when i first joined by the first week i was at 100 posts and i got my fail button the same week asianXL track failed all my posts so i message Aznboi about the situation ( i thought since he was nice on 6thgenaccord.com and since we both own 6th gen accords he could do something for me) however he simply replyed " dont take it seriously, its just the internet." so i thought ok i guess you are allowed to track fail people therfore i failed 10 of asianXL's posts ( i was kinda sketch because i didnt want to get banned) so SkinnyPupp decided to take my FAIL button away because i "abused it" so i explained to him what really happend and even forwarded my convo with Aznboi but unforunatly all mods think alike and he decided not too message me back.

So yes taking away the button from REAL abusers is a good idea however not from people that have good excuses. MODS should research what really happens before taking further action, instead of just flexing their mod muscles. And the what hell is up with mods not replying to messages? i basically messaged most mods and none of them emailed me back and the ones that did just gave me 3 word answers and that was " Talk - to - Skinnypupp"

If i abused my fail button and if they took it away fair and square i wouldnt care as much as i do right now but when things are done unfairly it gets me a little pissed.

[Energy]

I don't have my fail button back either and I don't remember it ever being taken away before this.

[Inaii]

Skinnypupp is the only one that is able to take away/give the button back iirc. Which is why they would all be telling you to contact him. No point in wasting people's time.

lol same I don't have the button and don't remember it being taken away prior to this. Strange because I didn't use it that often and certainly did not abuse it. Guess I should talk to skinnypup.

[hotjoint]

shiet, the fail button is back :thumbsup:

just a warning, its gonna take him a good 3-4 months too reply. Thats IF he decides too reply.

hrm, my fail button was never taken away from me prior to this event and so far i've only given out 25 fails. i have no idea was going on. :confused:

[SkinnyPupp]

Don't contact me, leave a post in the support forum if you have any questions regarding fail/thanks. If I ever disabled fails, it was because the mods requested it, not because I have some personal issue with you.

If a mod asked you to ask me, then they shouldn't have. Post it in the forum, that's what it's there for.
