You have to be a True and Honest Fan to use those ratings and the DRINK! one, they’re just showing up for everyone for some reason, server issues perhaps. Send Null $20USD for the tag.
How do you prove you donated? I've probably put $30 in BAT into this place, so I kinda want the silly internet sticker next time I donate.

(Can't find a good place to post and you were talking about it here.)

As far as I’m aware BAT doesn’t count and you have to message Null if you want to donate for the tag.

BAT is a worthless LARP currency
 
  • Lunacy
Reactions: AnOminous
I dislike the lunacy rating. In my opinion it means what the poster is saying is lunacy. Like here's this :lunacy: because you're talking like a crazy person, or some shit. Or you're a lunatic for talking about/bring up this topic/person/whatever. But I see most people, if not all, using it to rate who or what you're posting about is crazy, if that makes sense... I think it's a negative rating, like rating someone dumb or autistic. I just, really don't like it, but not enough to even care that much even though I wrote this all out, lol

tl;drgbq Stop calling me a lunatic!!! I'm not crazy - I'm not!!!!!!!

You need to talk to Zed about the "lunatic" rating, he knows all about it. And he's just adorable, especially with ironic "lol" usage!!!!!!!!!

(@zedkissed60 I'm really sorry. You can kick me next time you see me.)

I'm kinda new here. Why am I not allowed to use ratings like Semper Fi or Devious?

We....twitch....have something in common. Tic. Besides the straightjacket....ticticgraunch....and huge doses of Thorazine. Take my advice...bangbangbangthud.....it's not worth it just for two stickers......aaaarghhhhshuddernoooooooooooo.

Edit: Devious? Eh?
(@zedkissed60 it's me, isn't it? Please to kick me right now)
 
I never got the point of the Lunacy rating. It's supposed to negrate what the poster has said directly because it is insane, but it's being used to denote third-party information that is insane. Frankly we have Dumb for the former and Horrifying for the latter and I've almost never had cause to use it. It doesn't do anything that the others don't already do.

Whereas an "X to doubt" or "F to pay respects" rating would at least say something new and save someone a post just saying "Sure, buddy" or "F", and get rid of low-content posts.
 
I think it would help if it was more obvious what each of the ratings did. For example have it say "Winner (+1)" or "Lunacy (-1)" when you hover over the different Ratings that change your Reaction Score. In most cases people aren't trying to ruin one's precious "Reaction Score" by giving a post a lunacy rating because some of the crazed ramblings of a lolcow, they just want to point out the lunacy of one being loony. On a side note, I think Islamic Content has this issue too, where it's used to describe a third party as opposed to the original poster being Islamic in nature.

So I think having it be obvious would mitigate this issue. But like I said in my previous post:
it's not a big deal since these are fake ass internet points on one of the most ostracized and hated internet forum on the internet and anyone who is angry about having negative internet points should consider inducing the Big Sleep. Just a thought. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There should be an "Archive your links faggot" reaction that only shows up for posts that have links in them. Too many newfags and regular posters on some occasions that don't archive shit, and it either ends up never archived or DFE'd and lost forever.

Takes to much effort for little reward. As long as you have the screenshot who cares
 
Also, how do you get the stickers to show up on TOR? Only the thunk-provoking and lunacy show up. It baffles me that only those specific two work while all the others show up as gray circles.
they work for me but sometimes it is slow and they take a while to show them all
 
Is there a guide for the meaning of each rating? I've been here a little while but I can't work out what DRINK! means.

You want an explanation on internet stickers?
