What's the a-log rating mean?

It’s typically used for posts where the OP acts like Anthony Loggatto, one of Chris Chan’s most infamous weens. Primarily it’s used on posts where the OP wishes death on a lolcow or try to make themselves out to be better, but end up looking worse.
 
I did a thing because the unicode box still triggers me.

@Null Will this rating ever get fixed? There are so many problems with it including the name mismatch (thoughtful/provocative), the use of unicode, the fact that it breaks profile pages, etc.

I believe it's partially intentional at this point. No excuse given it makes the site look a bit more shit than it should be, but whatever it's a sticker.

There should be a "Kill Yourself" rating. We are in desperate need of one.

I tend to use dumb for that myself.
 
Can there be a rating for posts that say things that make it obvious they didn't read the entire thread? Half the posts in Articles & Happenings make assumptions based on the article's title without bothering to actually read it.

I get the feeling that the “Fish hook” rating could be used for that though, since those posts seem to be made primarily to fish out Agree rating.

If this rating becomes a thing though, I think we could call it “Illiterate”. It would probably be just neutral, though.

I was thinking about it while reading the Shakedown thread. Is there a way to encompass into a single icon, when a post has become simultaneously angry, boring, repetitive, circle-jerking and moralfagging? Maybe a "zZzZ" to emphasize the unoriginal?

That particular thread actually made me think about how much we need a "Cool" rating or a similar rating. As I stated previously in an earlier post, "Cool" would be a negative rating with a sarcastic name. I always felt that it would be used for everything that Null talked about in the original post, where the OP would act like they're hot shit for being edgy, using forced memes, shitposting instead of using the report button, etc. I thought the sarcastic name would be appropriate, mainly as a way to say to the OP "Wow, you're so cool, you fucking edgelord." without actually saying it in a reply.
