Poll: Do you want sticker notifications back? - Not the score, just the notifications.

[PlasticOwls]

if it's just the notifications that people care about, couldn't you just turn those back on but keep the score hidden so reddit fags don't go around posting what they think everyone else wants to read just so they can get updoots? They might still do this for the instant dopamine hit but at least they can't do it for their e-peen big score.

That's been the very first thing people said, and why this thread even started, but here we are 141 pages later.

My opinion is that if you're that afraid you'll be reeling from negative impact on your reaction score your post probably wasn't worth posting.

This is a bad take. I'll use the Cyberpunk 2077 Grieving Thread as an example. Right after 2.0 launched the game was massively improved and Kiwis that wanted to talk about it went to that thread, only to be met by constantly shit tier posts from people still angry about the game's launch state two years ago, who hadn't played the game since, and would post stupid shit like "Did they completely remake the whole story yet?"

They would also immediately post negative reactions on anyone trying to have a normal conversation and shit talk everyone there for the first few weeks and were completely unwilling to budge from the idea that the game could be improved upon. Eventually users such as myself who were still very interested in talking about the game stopped posting, not because I didn't have an opinion, but because it wasn't worth the 15 notifications I'd get an hour from the same group of retards who had no idea what they were talking about and no interest in learning what they were talking about spamming the shit out of every post I made.

Sounds like a you problem, if 15 notifications in a hour is enough to stress you out. Plus, lol you could have just cut em off.

Your problem is that you and others went into the GRIEVING thread and then were mad that posters there were grieving and not interested in changing their mind. Why not create a new thread dedicated to the topic you wanted to talk about?

Not a stress issue. Its a 'Flooding my notifications with non-responses' issue. If I'm having an ongoing conversation with one or two people, and several abject retards don't like it, it is much easier for them to collectively spam me with useless information relative to the actual useful notifications I'm wanting to receive.

Worth pointing out that in this case the Grieving thread did not start out as a Grieving thread. It was updated to that after the game came out busted. There's no reason it couldn't be updated again once the game was fixed and the majority of players were no longer grieving.

I don't see why retards are so hellbent on "Lets have a second thread about the same topic we're already discussing so that we don't have to reassess our opinions on something years later." Fucking cattle mentality.

...why not just make a dm?

Sounds like to me the faggots spamming you needed to be Ignored or you needed to turn your sticker notifications off.

I don't know why the argument that because certain opinions will be shit on that the reaction scores need to be taken away. It's not a black and white thing, reactions scores facilitate people to at the very least not act like retards and have a history of valued posts. Sometime it works great, sometimes it doesn't like your case. Your lived experience brings up the question of whether the reaction score does more good than bad which is pretty hard to quantify.

Good point. Why don't I just not use the forums at all.

Real talk, we could all benefit from taking a break from the farms.

But yes, unironically, go touch grass.

So you insist that others change to fit your preference instead of just letting them have their pre-existing space. And, you have the power to create your own space but don't think you should have to?

This just comes across as entitled. If your problem were that you created a thread, and people came to it and shit it up with unrelated topics, I would 100% be on your side. But you seem to be the offending party.

I would say, that it is my general understanding (and that understanding may be wrong) that one should not make multiple threads about the same topic that's already been covered.

There is already a thread on Cyberpunk 2077. Does it really need me to create a second thread to talk about it? I would say probably not, and its worth noting that if you go to that thread today, its much slower and is generally positive now despite being labeled a grieving thread.

That's a fair opinion. I might not have the best examples for my arguments either, but I figured a flawed argument made from my own experience would be better than a bullshit argument made from what I assume is someone else's experience.

In general I think the arguments on notifications at all are kinda silly. I did not know I could turn them off until this topic arose. I think the stickers are kinda gay, but I could see why people liked them.

There are 3 official Russia/Ukraine threads because people have polar opposite and incompatible views. Forcing them into one single thread causes the autism storm you are describing. Splitting threads allows people to explore any side of any viewpoint they like, or multiple sides.

I knew that, and I was also under the impression that the fact there were three threads on it was generally frowned upon because people couldn't be civil enough to disagree with one another without causing an autism storm, which is actually why I was in particularly against creating another thread.

I might have thought differently CP2077's thread was more active than it was, but when you've got half a dozen users having issues with half a dozen other issues, it didn't really seem worth the effort to create a non-grieving thread. Especially since it seems like most of the initial people who were hell bent on hiding behind the grieving status all gave up and moved on at some point.

 

[Mango Cobra]

the only thing the site probably does need is a "go to your last post" button but XenForo doesn't have that information saved anywhere so I'd have to mod it custom. people have mentioned that there's no way to accomplish that without ratings and that's the only point I am willing to concede.

Eh I don't mind the current system of "go to your profile, click latest posts" or whatever.

 

[Sneed S. McSneedensen]

Did you read what I quoted because what you've just said is a logical nonsequitor.

For such a crucial load bearing notification, the site seems to be working great and post counts were higher this weekend than last. I reiterate that I disabled them day one.

You're bringing up metrics, so how are log ins doing?

 

[Sithis]

Yes. This entire thing is pathetic, gay, and demoralizing. I have never seen so many of the worst elements of the site crawl out at once. Random antagonizing of specific users for no apparent reason, baseless speculation on ulterior motives, people wanting the site to die, immediately jumping to bizarre personal attacks against me for no reason, deliberately misconstruing what I've said to try and epicly own me. It really is a moment where I have to sit back and reflect on, "are these the people I've put so much of myself out there to try and keep together?".

It's genuinely sickening and fills me with contempt. On top of that, the complicating factor is what the anger is over. The "cherished site feature" is an instantaneous notification that someone liked your post. That's it. Reddit doesn't even do that. Reddit doesn't even tell you every time someone upvotes your comment. But that's what people are malding this much over, and of course that anger is misplaced and directed at either me personally or other people you don't like.

It's literally like watching a child throw a tantrum and start throwing stuff, but children have the benefit of an undeveloped brain. They literally lack the tools to deal with their emotions. This is a group of full grown adults, many in their 30s and older, upset that they will not be notified the same second someone likes their post on the Kiwi Farms, and remaining upset for a week.

Calm down, have a Snickers, breathe in, breathe out.

 

[The Feline Solution]

You should never post again, that would really show null

If only.

Edit: Nevermind, i misread and thought you were talking about @Lidl Drip . Her shit got boring months ago and she's a thin-skinned bitch compared to other females on the site.

 

[BeetleBug242]

Also they’re cringe and gay.

As if this current drama isn't the cringest, gayest thing to ever happen. It's actually crazy to me how many people are seriously upset. Get laid and you'll never care about sticker notifications ever again.

 

[eatler]

That’s only really the case if like I wanted to make a jack scalfani thread. Sometimes threads are so old (dating back to 2015) that you kind of have to.

In your case people interloped your server (which in itself pretty gay so sorry for that bud) and therefore you could of made “abbadons gate mega rad cyberpunk thread - I and others actually enjoy the game let’s praise the game!”

Get laid and you'll never care about sticker notifications ever again.
