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

[PlasticOwls]

I don't mind having to click twice

I think if Null's true intention is to deincentivise sticker faggotry, youd hide that information all together. Two clicks is not going to be a deterrent for anyone who obsesses over that information.

I believe we're on the same wavelength on the subject, but approach it in different ways. So no worries if we dont agree on this front.

They're the exception, not the rule. I can't tell you how many times I've seen plenty of users with negative reaction scores, thought "yeah, this guy's posts are probably retarded, he has to be in the negative for a reason" and been proven right after reading their posts.

Maybe years ago, blatantly negative karma kiwis would be commonplace enough, but this is an exceedingly rare phenomenon now. Kiwi Farms is large enough where echo chambers and small niches inflate scores to the point where it loses all meaning.

I don't care about sticker fags being butthurt about losing their updoot dopamine, I care because I'm lazy and sticker notifs are a quick and easy way to jump back where I left off in a thread.

There's suggestions to making a notification system that doesnt rely on stickers, but is as equally UI friendly and convenient for Kiwis who follow over a dozen or more threads. So, I'm absolutely fine axing stickers if it means reaching a compromise or a solution

HOW IS A CONSTANT, UNENDING FLOW OF ARBITRARY NOTIFICATIONS ABOUT EVERY POST YOU'VE EVER MADE "USER FRIENDLY"

THIS HAS TO BE A FUCKING PRACTICAL JOKE

Then why are you unable to continue using the forum with the Received Reactions page?

Convenience. Before I could be reading a thread and then click the bell and refresh alerts and easily go back to a different thread without having a completely new page load.

The honest mental gymnastics I'm seeing to defend a function that does nothing

Yes all these users telling you how they use a function on the website every day are using mental gymnastics.

Need a "not what I asked for" sticker.

This is a post you made a week ago I picked at random.

So the Ethan Ralph defense? What is it with fat retards that always comes back to sharting.

How does that make you feel?

They are, this is group psychosis. It is genuinely possible all of you are insane.

Then why are you unable to continue using the forum with the Received Reactions page? If you actually do just re-read a thread every single fucking time you see a post has a new turd button pressed on it, why can't you do this from a different page without a constant never-ending flow of notifications about every post you've ever made?

The average user of your forum doesn't get that many stickers, especially if they post in slower threads. I'm sure your sticker notifications are an endless flow of junk mail, but for people that don't post a ton it's nice to see notifications and see feedback from users you may recognize. I don't see why the option should be removed, it seems spiteful to people who you think are "using the forum wrong."

It is a feature that I have grown used to as part of my user experience. I like being able to passively see if something I posted is being appreciated by my fellow forum users. I dislike having a feature that I have grown used to nuked from orbit because a few retards got into it with you.

Guys, we are talking about stickers when we should be talking about our LOTY, Nicholas Robert Rekieta.

It's been interesting watching Nick's rise and decline, a story as old as time.

Null Nick creates a small but loyal community willing to support him
Null Nick gets in a little over his head and requests support from his community
Null Nick receives more support than he initially expected
Null Nick decides to start making rash, retarded decisions
Null Nick gets mild push-back on his retarded decisions
Null Nick doubles down on his retarded decisions, convinced that he couldn't possibly be wrong and other people just don't understand social cues
Null Nick puts in extra effort to damage his own community more out of pure pettiness
Null Nick tells dopamine retards incel prudes that they can fuck off and go somewhere else if they don't like it

It sure would be embarrassing to be Nick.

Dayum. Nick sounds like an exceptionally exceptional individual, sure hope that whichever community he hosts doesnt get flooded with annoying retards, trolls, or furry scat DM ERP'ers who cant be negrated into oblivion everytime they try to shit up the place.

Or maybe, just because you wrote a website doesn't mean you necessarily know the best way for every single one of your users to use it. It's great that you feel the need to decide for tens of thousands of people what experience they prefer on the internet but not everybody browses the way you do.

Just give it up. What you've described is peak autist behavior; he isn't going to listen until he's proven wrong.

No, I removed it specifically because I've realized that not only have many, many users apparently trained their brains to use a forum specific way that is counter-intuitive to how forums are supposed to work, but you're also making posting decisions based on that feedback.

This started because I received feedback from multiple users that they prefer to post in fucking retarded DM chains specifically because they don't want negative feedback on their posts. They have been discouraged from using this webforum as a forum because they do not feel safe to post as a result of these incessant notifications and looming persistent scorecard ratings. That is FUCKING STUPID. That means the site is broken and is fundamentally failing to encourage people to use it. It means that the reaction system, which exists to provide feedback on individual posts, is having a chilling effect on the entire site.

I am not undoing this. I am observing genuine psychological damage inflicted on people.

OCD and autism, definitely. For sure. Dopamine? Eh?

 

[Lidl Drip]

Maybe this article can help our autistic friends cope with the anxiety cause by a change to their daily routine? I found it very informative.

 

[skunt]

i am laughing so hard. not at anyone in particular but just that this is even happening. thanks all, love you

 

[vomitusdeux]

constant validation from happy sticker notifications = dopamine rush
