The Kiwi Farms userscripts - AKA Autistically fixing the reaction system that Null broke

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.

I never look at my reactions received and manage to navigate the forum just fine through just looking at the front page and subforums and notifications that show people replying to me.

That's great, but it's nice to have because it often a good indication of when the thread is getting activity, it's format is perfect on mobile, I can see when users I am speaking with leave me a reaction and no response so I know it was read. It's not a useless feature.

And yes, seeing if people liked an image you posted is useful. Because 99% of people will never respond to a meme image and only react to it. So having some live feed back of an image to see if it is popular or not is useful when you are trying to make content that isn't shit and actually makes people laugh. And doing it quickly is important.

I mainly miss sticker reactions because they were a great way to learn how to interact with the site and what was proper community etiquette. When I first started I got plenty of neg-reacts which helped me learn basic ways to avoid being annoying/being a retard while using the site. Would I have figured it out without them? Probably. But they were just a nice way of telling whether what I was saying fit the site. I was fine with not having the notifications even if I personally disagreed but this latest decision I feel is just overkill.

I disagree with removing site functionality, especially for something so small as a based coding autist making the rating score visible again. The rating and sticker system and removing the ability to see your received reactions however, is so trivial that whether it's removed or not shouldn't effect the way you interface with the website whatsoever.

Yeah, that's pretty much the classic way to navigate forums like this.

That said, it works better on small-medium sized forums. KF is much larger than those classic forums of yore except maybe Something Awful.

A lot of older forums also had multiple ways to navigate faster that weren't just constantly scrolling and clicking over and over again to get to one page with one post. Some were pretty elaborate too and had weird little built in games on user profiles. I remember like one of the earliest forums I used back in the day was some now probably long dead Mario game fan forum thing that did the same Majora moon shit on occasion for stuff similar if not identical to how it happens here. You wanna talk throwbacks? seeing that shit every happening or election is the biggest fucking throwback to more chill times online. That one also had one of those profile page game things where you could "buy" stickers from other users to display on your profile using some weird archaic system involving post numbers I think? Anyways not important. What's important is that ancient shit from the early/mid 2000s had multiple navigation options in a manner that wasn't just "oh check the watched tab, memorize the exact page a post happened on. You only get notified of activity if it's a new post and it doesn't always even work" type of shit going on.

Honestly I still miss the wacky and weird features people would put on imageboards and forums back in the day, but I miss the amount of options online in genera. Shit's been getting dwindled down due to control freak enuchs and shitty drama whores.

Remember those old PHP-based forums with JRPG inventory systems? Now that was some ridiculous stuff.

This right here. I just wanna know I'm not being a retard. I know I'm an autist but I don't wanna be a retard on the site.

cacas ITT screeching at null thinking it'll get them what they want never cease to amaze me. You guys are what, in your 30s? And acting like toddlers online?

Nobody here thinks yelling at Null will get him to change his mind. The original Stickercaust was more unpopular than Obamacare, and he still kept it.

But when someone does something retarded and spergs out online, they get called a retard, simple as. This is as close to a universal ethos as this site has, and jannies aren't excepted.

You have trained yourself to use a basic web forum in the single most retarded way possible. It is so incredibly low intelligence I don't even feel bad for you. It genuinely is outside my realm of comprehension. I don't know how you did this to yourself.

If you want to propose an alternative that is not contingent on desperately and continuously tracking your reddit karma, go for it.

I will create problems for people and it's the people's responsibility to find those solutions to problems that I made. Spoken like a 'jeet manager.

Can you clarify how it "defies belief" and how is it staggering when users of varied join dates, some you might know a bit more personally, have come clarifying that the intended features don't work properly but rather than yell your ear off about it, they utilize the reaction page even pre-stickerpocalypse?

You might as well locked the thread after posting this. Jesus fucking christ.

It reminds me of how game developers, even those that I admired, have no idea how their game functions at all because of how they play versus how the community plays are so vastly different from each other.

Apparently Jersh doesn’t care about community etiquette, so make sure to shit it up and leave chaos in your wake with full sized images, un-spoilered walls of text, dooooxing, and DEFINITELY share your desire to SWAT a cow, since you’ll never see the outcome of your previous posts again anyway. :smug:
