any possible way to get the thanks and fail button for RS MOBILE ?!?! :fullofwin: :fuckyea:

[RRxtar]

Keep it.

[SkinnyPupp]

Please stay on topic. This is about keeping the button or not, not crying about failing me. That's never gonna happen :troll:

[RRxtar]

It was on topic. It was about whether or not certain 'members' have a double standard for the fail button or not. Post a poll for that one too then.

[SkinnyPupp]

I just don't want to turn this into a gong show. Like I said it's not going to happen, so there's no need for a poll or anything like that.

As a side note, I am trying to make efforts to be kinder to people online. Maybe I am not trying hard enough... I often find it hard to find the connection between "online people" and actual "people". I'll put even more effort into being less malicious on forums.

Now let's get back to the topic :)

It's only to see where the membership stands on the subject. Any final decisions on the button will be made by the mod team. The final result of the poll may have some influence on it. I know there are pros and cons to it, so I thought I'd throw the poll up for now

[StylinRed]

keeps (although ive noticed some take it reaaaalllllly personal see my support forum thread;) hell even i got a bit annoyed from the troll)

[murd0c]

We have to keep it. Look what happened the last time it was removed. Maybe only make it available to people with only a certain number of posts tho?

Things like this is what needs to be discussed :)

Last time we brought it back after a break, and lowered the limit to 5 a day. Maybe it should be set to 1 or 2?

We can also set it so only the first post can be FAILable, but that would ruin the Shit What Makes You Laugh thread...

Another option is to remove the stat from the avatar section, so it won't be so apparent. But when a post gets FAILED there is still that visual cue that someone fucked up...

fail button gives a better quality of threads/posts imho

I honestly think one or two fails a day isn't enough. I find it honestly it helps weed out the BS and I like the advantage of people can also see all the fails.

Since this is more of a issue with newer members or members with less posts why don't you make it members with a certain number of posts can't be failed or fail? See how that works for a bit? My concern is new trolls signing up tho

You need 100 posts to be able to fail someone. Newbs can be failed right away

[krazynuck]

You need to keep the fail button....it teaches valuable lessons and kind of is like touching something hot and burning your hand, you learn your lesson not to do it again.....at the same time you try different 'temperatures' until you find something that will not harm you....

The same can be said for posts....you must get failed to learn to become better

Unless the reason someone failed you is ambiguous. There have been times where i don't know what i was failed for. Sorry, can't read minds.

IMO, if i disagree with somebody, i want it to be very clear why i disagree with them. By that, i mean i actually type it out. It's a lot more clear than just leaving it to the guy to wonder wtf he did wrong.

the fail button is misused, just because u dont agree with someone doesn`t mean it`s a fail

but if their opinion is so off base, then by all means

for example in twanger thread someone said ``i`m not into girls with tats``, he got like 20 fails

what if he said ``i`m not into brown girls``, would that get 20 fails too

[jeedee]

Like murd0c already suggested, how about raising the post count to use the fail button?

100 posts is waaay to small imo. I would say around 1000+ posts to use it would be better. By 1000 posts, people should be mature enough to know when and how to use it.

[Nightwalker]

NO! Fail button is good

[spoon.ek9]

keep it! personally, there are a lot of days where 5 fails just aren't enough to cover what's going on. i'd like to see the post requirement bumped up higher to 500 or so instead of 100.

1000 seems really excessive to me. i would say more in the 300-500 range. that's the post count of a regular. i think it took me around 4 years to break 1000 posts. it would suck to have to wait that long to fail some posts on here.

How about when using the fail button add a page similar to the report form to fill out a reason why you used the fail. Minimum character post has to come in play too.

How about limiting the fails per each post to 5? The poster would still get the message of the fails but at least the carnage would be limited. The second benefit is it will discourage idiots like ZhangFei and some other trolls on RS from purposely making dumb posts just to get as many fails as possible.

That guy didn't get failed for his opinion, he got failed for unnecessarily sharing it in a hot girls thread. If you don't like tattoos, that's fine. Just keep it to yourself, nobody gives a shit.

[SkinnyPupp]

Since the fail button isn't a moderation technique, there is no reason to add notes to each fail. If you want to, you can fail someone then discuss why you did. That's what most people do. It's usually pretty obvious why someone gets a fail. Most of the time, it's not a simple 'disagreement' either, although I have seen that - two people going back and forth arguing about something, and failing each others retorts each time.

I like the idea of increasing the amount needed to fail someone.

[1exotic]

[EmperorIS]

FAILED ON REV SCENE

RIOT

[LiquidTurbo]

The fail button needs to stay. Rename it and give it a euphemism if people are worried about their feelings.. call it 'Disliked posts' or something.


I come to RS, to relax, learn new stuff, be entertained.

When someone makes an idiotic post, and gets failed, I pretty much disregard the post and move on quicker. This leads me to the content that I come for, for the reasons mentioned above. This is especially good in that "LULs" thread in the NSFW section.

If someones makes a stupid repost, or asks a really stupid question that the community generally thinks is stupid, then it is a good form of feedback for the user who made the stupid post.. so next time they would think before they posted?

If someone posts something really cool, then their posts will get thanked and everyone wins.

Shitty posts ought to be discouraged, and punished with fails, esp if it is a repost of something that could have easily been SEARCHED... or if the content is just stupid. I have yet to see a mass carpet bombed failed post that I went..

"Omg! that post should not have been disregarded like that! It was totally legit!"


If ANYTHING, you would want posts that have some people thanking, and some other people failing.. because what that does is encourage people to have a DISCUSSION. It is a boring place if

1. Everyone failed the same people, and the forum just becomes a huge circlejerk.

2. Everyone only thanked people, no arguments, same old stuff EVERYONE agreed upon. Again, another circlejerk.



That being said, there are ways to make the system better in my opinion.

-Only forum veterans should be able to fail.. more than 500 posts or something like that. This forum should aim to generate more thanks than fails.

-Mod's have said things in the past like: "It means nothing, who care's stop crying over something so meaningless"

Yet at the same time:

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

DEAL WITH IT


Obviously it DOES mean something. Essentially I have no issue that mods are unfailable, but that means they shouldn't fail people themselves? That is truly and equal system that works well for everyone. If the mod's think that's silly, then they should open up themselves for failing.. after all, it means nothing right?

Having an unfailable Mod fail you in a discussion without being returned, EVEN THOUGH the non-mod has good points.. that just leads to this retarded notion that the mod is 'holier than thou' or something.

Argue with with points, rather than just being able to hide behind an unfailiable shroud when MULTIPLE people are in disagreeance with a mod.


-5 fails a day. Make your fails REALLY count.

-Ban people who are trolling to get fails. These people defeat the purpose of this system.


You can 'fail' me if you disagree. I won't get offended.

[MindBomber]

I've found there are situations where the fail button is a entertaining and even somewhat useful, the porn threads come to mind. In those threads no strong opinions are being expressed however, so the tendency that many people have to self-censor to avoid fails is not an issue. It also ensures only the highest quality fapping material is posted and anything less is clearly marked by the avalanche of fails.

It's the threads in off-topic, where people genuinely make an effort to express their opinions in intelligent discussions only to be berated with fails that I strongly disagree with. Not only does it cause people to self-censor, limiting the contributions to those threads, but it also limits the rebutals since many people feel content with clicking fail and moving on.

With that said, overall I feel the presence of fail buttons hurt the forum; it makes it a less open and welcoming place, that punishes unpopular and controversial comments while limiting the expression of differing perspectives in serious discussions.The fact that it's removal has been brought up twice says a lot IMHO.

At this point, I could have 10,000 fails and care less.

That forum definately needs fails. The last time fails were taken away, the threads immediately filled with trolls posting repost and super long pictures and then having them quoted.


In regards to Admins and mods getting failed. Sometimes in posts you can sense there is some resentment towards the "higher ups" where there is a debate with a mod where the mod is the one failing the other person because
he/she does not agree with the poster. You can usually see it when the poster would get many thanks while the only fail would be from either a Mod or an Admin.

Yes, Moderators and Admins do volunteer their time and effort to keep this site running and I would like to thank them for it, but that should not give them immunity from other people disagreeing with them by clicking the fail button.
The only people that should be Immune to anything is !SG, Jace, and Chooman.

Also if the fails bother the mods/admins don't they have the power to remove it and usually aren't they the ones saying its just fails?

Instead of focusing on ppl that couldn't take a fail, why aren't we focusing on ppl that can't use the fail button in a mature way?? I agree fail button are useful for others to filter out useless post but then there are some that abuses the fail button by just failing posts for his/her personal reasons.

Another thing is the search function. There are a lot of posts where the title is totally irrelvant to the information/video posted so when someone wanted to post the same thing and goes search, they see nothing so they go ahead and post. In return there's probably 10+ fails and 10+ posts stating the information posted is a repost just because the OP doesn't come to rs often enough to keep up with every post nor can he/she do a search to see if it's a repost.

There are other forums survives without the use of a fail button. Trolls are here no matter what you do, it's something you can prevent. But instead if fail buttons are taken away and members can bear the few seconds wasted with useless posts, maybe that encourage more ppl to post information they wanted to share. This is a community after all, not just a place for active members to hang out or at least that's what I think. Maybe if the same user posts multiple useless post then members have the option to report him/her to the mod and let the mod handle it.

I assume its because everyone complains about it. I personally think it works pretty well, I like the fact it says Thanked/Failed XXX times in XXXX amount of posts. It gives perspective on the user.

I would respect someone alot more if he has lets say 50 fails from 1 post instead of 50 fails in 25 posts. I means he fucked up once instead of 25 times, even though that was a big fuck up to gain 50 fails...

If you have to change something. May I suggest changing the cap to 10 fails per post. So the max you can get is 10 "more" fails from 1 post...

Keep the fail button, raise the minimum post count to 300, try to provide a reason for each fail that you give, unless the person was asking for it, such as posting a video of a 13 year old girl on a unicycle in a pikachu suit.

i think what i like most about the fail button is failing people who are bothered by being failed

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

How about having a system where it is a user option. You can fail people and be failed

or

turn it off and can't fail people and can't be failed.

this actually is an awesome idea.

I'm totally against the fail button, but i know it wont be removed, and it will always be overused/abused whatever. it's retarded. i've only ever given out fails when they were actual fails. like you fucking facepalm in real life, thats how fail it was.

i dont see any other way right now. if you make it for every thanks you give, you can give a fail, then everyone's going to spam both.

if you make it a certain number of posts, some people that barely post, wont ever get the ability enabled, or people will just start spamming retarded one word replies.

the thank button should be the same way, i think, if you wish to disable your thanks, then you cant give any or receive as well.

or yeah, the other suggestion seems pretty smooth, just disable it everywhere except NSFW, fightclub, and OT.


i distinctly remember a while back, people voting on some kinda "rep" system like other forums, and then I REMEMBER CLEARLY, one of the admins/mods saying that shit is not good cuz it's inaccurate and doesnt represent the truth... well... doesnt this seem like the exact fucking same thing? lol. just sayin. I see no objective to the fail button.

how did this thread end up in FC? :/

There's no consistency in fail button use either. I've seen posts where someone posted info and was failed for it. Later on, when someone else posts pretty much the same info, they get thanked for it.... but the same people who failed the other post...

[BaoTurbo]

We have been over this before and it clearly failed because everyone was for it. When it was taken, the polls were in favour of having it back rather than keeping it gone.

Some people even get butthurt over THANKS on other members' posts that criticize them (http://www.revscene.net/forums/vancouver-off-topic-current-events/649309-reports-rockets-yao-ming-will-retire-3.html#post7506240).
