Poll: Do you want sticker notifications back? - Not the score, just the notifications.

[Sprate Header]

The complaint has now shifted to "without sticker notifications, how will I know about updates to threads I don't care about"

Because @Balldo's Gate's idea is a good compromise. As has been repeatedly said: the stickers aren't the crux of the issue (at least for me), it's knowing whether or not a thread you've posted to within the last few days (that you preferred to not click 'watch' on) is active or not.

Sticker notifs were just a good way of telling that, but Balldo's suggestion of a system that notifies you of posts within an unwatched thread a few days after you posted would work great! Again, idgaf about stickers, I just don't want to have to watch every thread I post to or manually navigate around the entire site to know if they're active or not.

I really don't get the sperging over a feature that apparently can be easily be made to be toggled on or off.

Reaction scores and treating the system as reddit karma is one thing that I think everyone agrees is gay and retarded, but why shouldn't users be able to decide for themselves how they navigate the farms? If people prefer and are used to using sticker alerts why is that le bad?

It really is a disconnect between kiwis who stick to one subforum/bubble and kiwis who follow multiple threads in multiple sectors.

I get it. If you only have to manage 3 or 4 threads at a time, it sounds retarded for Kiwis to rely on sticker alerts to be up to date on threads, and it sounds more like sticker cope.

On the other hand, kiwis who want to juggle a dozen threads hate using watched threads— it's cumbersome, updates too frequently, and becomes a disorganized mess. So it's frustrating to have that conundrum fall on deaf ears.

That's my 2 cents on it, and I think Im being even handed about summarizing things.

Fam, Ive been focused on that very topic since last night.

OK, I'll give you a quick tutorial.
If you want to get updated anytime there is a new post, click the "Watch" button.
If you stop caring about the thread, click the "Unwatch" button.
If you start caring again, click "Threads with my Posts".
Alternatively, contemplate suicide

We don't want to do this for every single thread we post in. Sticker notifications eliminated the need for this, and Balldo's idea for a recent-activity-based temporary thread-watch that expired after a day or two would work the exact same way but without involving stickers.

We literally just want more convenience.

I think its also worth mentioning, that using alerts to navigate was sometime necessary over the last few years when the farms experienced services issues or times when the ddos mitigation was acting up. Clicking the bell and accessing alerts doesn't load a new page, and during those times of slow services, the more pages you could avoid loading to navigate to the thread you wanted to was pretty big and saved time.

If Poll stays at 20% no stickers 80% yes stickers, will Jersh go total Sticker Death and ban 80 percent of his followers?

or is 80 percent of us Autist who need stickers walk away?
Burn it down fuck it all!

I like stickers. Simple as. Like giving stickers, like getting stickers. Not sure if replies have been nuked too though, maybe they've just moved somewhere else and I'm just too much of a nigger to find it.

Imo this is a great improvement and will make the site better as a whole because obsessing over stickers is dumb and gay, especially if the people melting down over it actually leave.

Glad to know you hate FUN Lidl. A member of the fun-stapo here to make sure we're super serious all the time on a Bosnian flightless bird animal husbandry forum.
But for real, I don't get why people cry over bad stickers. I kind of miss the reaction score being visible, because it was shorthand for people who were retarded. Someone's replying to your shit with a like negative 500 plus score, you know you should probably disregard whatever they're saying.

Which is funny, because for the last 2 years Null has been complaining about the silo people who go to 4chan or Discord when the site has other areas they could explore. Now those people are defending Null for killing a feature that was useful when moving across the entire site.

Feels.
I'd have to agree. I think the only place I haven't really posted was the Beauty Parlor, but it's more of a "I don't go to Chinatown because I know I'm not welcome" situation. Sticker alerts were an easy way to find where you'd left off in a thread. Most of the time, at least for me, the whole /unread?new=1 doesn't reliably work for me and will either bump me way forward in a thread or leave me way back from where I actually was.

Stickerniggers should be allowed to have their notifications, just not secretly.
Give them a brand of shame to let us all know they care too much about iNTERNET points, perhaps a little glue like ichor to the avatar?

I'll accept that. I propose something along the lines of this.

Ok, skip directly to "contemplate suicide"

Just make it a notification. Have an option that, if checked, would notify you of new posts in a thread you recently posted to within a period of a day or two that doesn't require you to manually watch or unwatch the thread. It would lessen the amount of friction and it doesn't involve stickers.

Yes, this is exactly the feature I would want.

Threads that have recently been posted in appear at the top of the forum list, it's called being bumped. When you look at the forum list you will therefore see all the threads with recent activity at the top. They will also be in bold if a new post has been made since you last clicked on it. Hope that helps you and others who have no idea how an internet forum works.

Thanks for the tip, this was all new information to me.

I would prefer not to have to scroll through long lists of threads I don't care about and never will every time I want to check if a thread has activity.

I also want to be informed about activity in threads I care about right now, but may not care about in a few days/weeks/months without shuffling potentially dozens of threads in and out of the watched threads list.

This increases the friction to engage in threads that you're not already invested in, and encourages users retreating to a couple main threads they actually check regularly.

I understand I am known for only one thread and you are being deliberately dumb and assmad but I post in multiple subforums all across the site and never ever had an issue finding something again. I think you're just better off on Twitter or Reddit maybe if a forum is too complicated.

We get it nigger. You browse the forum through Null's post history and nobody is allowed to do it any other way. Go kill yourself already.

I don't come to Kiwi Farms so I can have my experience made worse every time there's an update. I get enough of that shit with Youtube and every other side on the internet.

Do you think the above proposal from @Balldo's Gate is unreasonable? Is there some downside to it we're not seeing?

Sounds like a lot of work and friction to implement vs you just clicking on 'reactions received'. Do you think that is unreasonable? Is it more or less unreasonable than BG's proposal?

 

[AgendaPoster]

Why the fuck should I have to? Why is it so important to gatekeep why people use the site? This arbitrary authoritarian bullshit is exactly what i hate about current year and josh is just as bad but for even more retarded reasons.

The site is owned and controlled by an authoritarian ruler who put his entire life into it.
Deal with it. You're owed nothing.

How am I supposed to know if users are based or not if I don't get notified of their reactions to the songs I post in the 'what are you listening to right now' thread

 

[BULLY HUNTER_78]

also this will be reserved if i am made into the new farms president

i will also unban all those unjustly banned by the Null tyranicall adminstration

Because you're doing it wrong and we must shut off any options for you to do things in the way you prefer until you do it the right way.

This reply is to notify you that I deemed you both worthy of the “winner” sticker. Have a nice day.

This is now the only way that any of these posters will be informed by the site of what users think of their posts, unless they autistically go back on every post they have ever made just to see if it got some stickers.

As you can see, this greatly improves the forum experience.

If you want "fire and forget" posts that disappear into the abyss, there's imageboards for that.

I understand you're desperate for attention since the sticker drip got cut off but please kill yourself.
