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

[Optimum Cockfag]

Because I am not going to reverse this. I am not going to validate your persecution complex. The only thing a poll would serve to do is add fuel to a fire that has been genuinely disgusting and gay to me since the second it happened.

Oh, I see. You're just here to flex some more. Jesus, the next LFJ assault can't come soon enough.

Why don't you just get Lidl to whishper in your ear if you need to be validated so bad.

"There there, it's ok, you won. You really showed those faggots, Nully"

Too much lore to fathom, people hate Hogan because he is anti-trump.
Lidl trip is Nulls European tranny crush who's feefees get hurt with negative stickers (don't remember which lolcow thread I read about this, must be true because it is still sharing top hats here)
Some faggots got mad about DM's at some point?
"Paypigs" run a cabal & Null's decision making.

Holy shit... I just liked to navigate through notifications, but I'll live even without them.

Every time he closes his eyes to sleep at night he hears a voice whisper in his ear "You will never be a father". This jolts him awake, everyone gets a 502 error, and the site gets a little less usable. It silences the voices for a time. But inevitably the next night will come and he will hear the voices.

"You will never be a father," they hiss, each syllable dripping with malice and despair. "You will never know the joy of holding your own child in your arms."

And the cycle repeats again. "At least I have cheese" he says, comforting himself while ignoring the rising cost of increasingly durable scales. "At least I have cheese..."

Ha, you've fallen for his trap by increasing the post count on the forum! Quantity is king, bish!

It's not that he's anti-trump, it's that he never shuts the fuck up about it and shits up threads with his constant reeee.

Seems to be mostly copy-pasting or using somekind of template answer about butthurt magas and Ted Cruz's of the world to everyone saying anything negative to him.
Well for each to their own, I don't care to fight about politics so I'll just ignore spergs.

 

[boofit]

So my eyes happened to catch this while I'm otherwise distracted and it's instantly clear who is mentioned here no ifs or buts
he must be doing something right

 

[The Feline Solution]

It never stopped me from posting what I wanted, even if it got a negative reaction, and if my score went down well no big deal.

Yeah, if stickers influenced you in how and what you posted you might be a total faggot that would fit better in leddit and other LGBT communities.

I already got used to not getting notifications anymore but i concur with the other users who said this place feels deader now.

 

[TapewormSalesman]

You can actually look at this whole debacle as a failed exercise at parenting, when you try to impose a rule and your child starts pulling counterarguments, so, determined to not lose face at any cost, you go full on tyrannical American father with the classic lines such as "my house, my rules", "you are stupid", "everybody's grounded", and "I will break your shit I will run a lawnmower over your videogames"

 

[M3xus]

This whole thing has just shown me I should have had them off sooner. It's nice to not see my feed cluttered with sticker notifications, and you're a redditor if you care about your sticker score.

I have never had my sticker notifications enabled to begin with. I'm pretty sure all my posts get exclusively winner stickers because they're all winners.

But yeah, blaming me personally for this was to be expected since people are really really desperate to get rid of me because it's me who hurts their delicate fragile manfeels.

 

[The Noticer]

Strange, the only pathetic faggot I seem to notice is you. Hmm...

ETA: Post count as your metric of choice is retarded and ignores post quality. It also ignores the trend of people posting replies of their sticker choices sarcastically instead of just using the stickers. The very metric you are using to justify yourself could very likely prove why you're a dumbass. But, please, continue on. I probably don't understand social cues.

You should never post again, that would really show null

 

[Goofy Logic]

The only metric we have states sticker notifications were a net positive still says 72%.

Number of votes: 1,000
Number of members:100,000

So out of ten percent of the total membership, 72 percent want stickers back. Yeah, that is a real broad concensus of opinion you have.

Yeah but normally only about 1000-1500 (give or take, unless some crazy shit going down) or so people are logged in and a large number of those accounts are socks / dead. Also not everybody comes to General so they probably don't even know the thread exists.

I don't really get why remove them when it was already optional and down to the user wether they wanted them or not. More agency is always nicer

 

[ATI Escapee]

I respect Null for quite a lot. I think its his site and he can run it how he wants- and he can probably see a lot more bullshit on his end which influences his decisions. However as a mildly train-adjacent American, the reaction notifications were useful for me to know when I was adhering to or deviating from board culture. Id get TMIs if I powerleveled too much and learned that I should either spoiler that or leave it out due to being off topic, clocks if I jumped the gun and posted something someone else already did so I read the thread more thoroughly in the future, etc. I feel the sticker notifications implemented a pretty good self moderating/community moderated system that helps keep the boards functiong, on topic, and not cluttered. Im curious to see how the post quality changes over time now. Maybe it wont, idk.
I bookmarked my reactions recieved page so I dont have to make extra clicks and I will still check on it periodically, but I do miss the bell notifications. I dont know what my overall score was, never cared and didnt even know that was a thing til pretty recent. Overall I dislike the changes. There are workarounds, so nothing has actually been lost, but I do hope there becomes a sticker notification opt in or out in the future.

Because some users were too stupid to turn them off and then would get butthurt/scared when they saw a tophat or a trashcan... it made them feel unsafe.

In a thread specifically for people to bitch. The overwhelming majority aren't paying attention to this pathetic faggot shit.

I'm sorry, you're going to have to clarify here. The metric itself of %72 of people voicing they want the stickers is "pathetic faggot shit" ? They just clicked a box with a binary question.

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.
