No other forum uses the "Fail" button, and it doesn't serve any real purpose. It also causes more problems that it solves (if any).

The value of a "Thanks" or "Fail" is grossly overstated due to a couple friends Thank-bombing or Fail-bombing another person.

Some people are fail-happy and give fails for no reason. Likewise for thanks.

As of right now, many people are abusing the "Fail" button on people they disagree with, even if their posts are well thought-out.

I'll probably get a couple random Fails for this post too.
