I'm not getting any alerts.

[asperhes]

Well, hardly any. This started a few days ago. Is this related to those weird virus-like alerts people were getting?

All my alert preference boxes are clicked.

Sorry man, it means you have alot of warning points. Better act proper or you'll be getting the boot.

 

[DNJACK]

If I were you I'd pm a couple mod/admin about it.

Obamatron hacked us and stole a bunch of information on people's likes and dislikes that his is using for PsyOps so to protect us all the mods took down the rating system. What you see at the bottom of the page is a part of the software that cannot be fixed.

Same deal, all I get are "someone quoted you" notifications.

I believe null took those notifications away as a test run for some sorta new plan to coddle all the folk that get butthurt over neg ratings

Same here.

This. All ratings notifications are disabled.

 

[Silver]

I see. Good to know!

 

[Dork Of Ages]

When will they be enabled again?

 

[DN 420]

When will they be enabled again?

hopefully never

 

[Mesh Gear Fox]

hopefully never

I don't see why we can't have the option to turn alerts on or off, so if you get butthurt easy then you can shut them off.

Do you really think that the kind of person who'd get salty about negative ratings would be rational enough to turn off their rating alerts? If that's how human psychology worked, then this site would be seriously short on content.

 

[kobebyarlant]

There should be a "I'm a giant pussy" option that disables alerts so negative ratings don't hurt people's feefee's.

 

[The Dude]

I like it better this way. I never cared about what ratings I got and I only click on the notifications icon to see if anyone has quoted me and to get the numbers to go away.

 

[Curt Sibling]

I liked being able to see my alerts as soon as they arrived. It should be an option we can choose to have them on/off.

Good/Bad ratings are a good tool to encourage sensible posting on the forum. It worked for me when I joined kiwi.

Please don't let this turn into a hugbox like DA or Tumblr

I don't think we're in danger of that any time soon. Not as long as @Dynastia is around anyway.

 

[An Ounce of Vagina]

Please bring the rating notifications back Null. I need them to prop up my self-esteem!

But to be honest I think the positive and negative ratings helped discourage shitposting.

This may be confirmation bias, but I really do think there's been a downward shift in posting quality recently, although if its ratings, the continuing festering corpse of the entersphere, leakage from Tumblr and Community Watch, or everyone trying to be the next Dynastia, I can't profess to know.
