Gotta have notifications…I feel my mind slipping, I really do. Just every now and then bro I gotta check and see what people think. I ain’t addicted - nuffin like that!! Just a taste is all.

Come on Null, can you help a brother out??

It has been repeatedly instructed to me over and over again that breaking "UX" that people are already used to is bad design, that I am fighting human nature. No, human nature is emotional and fickle. Human nature is seeing that Hitler rated your post in the Cheese thread "dumb" and getting upset, reporting him for 'revenge rating', opening Hitler's post history and rating his posts "dumb" so that he also gets notifications in kind. Human nature is creating brand new accounts for the sole purpose of rating Hitler's posts "dumb" so that he can't obviously see that it's you doing it, which he may report to me as being a potential sock account so I have to actually investigate this.

Then make a group for "doesn't get to see his sticker notifications" and put the fucking sticker obsessors in there. You seem to have groups for almost all other disruptive behaviors, now you've identified another one that warrants targeted restrictions. Instead you dumped the whole user table into that group.

Edit: and if they're really that bad, have the group hide the main Reactions profile tab too
 
If we are solely talking about the notifications issue, the watched thread wall gives me no indication of many posts were made since I left. I follow 30+ threads, I am not going to open all 30 of them to see if there has been only 1 post since I left or 10+. If you're going to do away with the sticker notifications at least make the watched threads page more intuitive with some kinda of post counter so I can see which ones are busier than others as the current notifications is useless since the sticker method is gone.
 
Honestly, I think Null should bring back the "join date" but keep sticker notifs and count off. I want to know if I'm talking to, say, a based newfag or some "I'll die on this hill before ever admitting I'm wrong" oldfag like, say, the Hulkster.
I think based newfags should get some sort of special symbol under their avatar, so all the retarded oldfag users can gawk in envy.

Reactions: Puff
At first it was weird, but I might help the site out. Plenty of people farm stickers like updoots. Least pre chris fucking his mom people used to.
As a counterpoint to that:
Removing stickers is the perfect way for a group of ideologues to hijack the site and turn it into some shit like Something Awful.

Without a pile of trashcans getting dumped on bad ideas people will begin to assume others approve of them if a dedicated group were to just keep repeating them...

Kinda like a certain group of people love to do about A&N. (The ones claiming A&N was mad about stickers / derailing threads were in fact the ones mad about stickers and derailing threads.)
 
the default "fresh meat" user titles are gone too
now my dumb custom title joke no longer works
Can't you put it back in the settings? That's what I did when my "Fresh Meat" expired...

...until yesterday, when I changed it in support of ending #StickerGate

This is not an idle hypothetical. The "bomb threat" that got Cloudflare to kick KF off was immediately negrated during the 13 minutes it stayed up. The poster realized it was a bad joke and deleted it before mods got to it.

Stickers and sticker notifications aren't the only feedback mechanism, but they're a very real, effective combination.

Xe'll probably just delete-and-ban :/
:agree:
 
What's the opposite of a pink triangle? Or should it just be the :winner: symbol?
No silly, the pink triangle users are the most based users on the site. Anyone who interacts with them automatically knows their takes are so based that they might make you cope and sneed.

It is a symbol of superiority that makes old fags ignore them in fear.

Wasn't that already "fixed"? Everyone knows if your reaction score is positive or negative.

>Removing stickers
And stickers still exists, they aren't being removed, you can still negrate a faggot that posted about how much he likes sucking dick. AFAIK he never said he was getting rid of the stickers.
