We need a neckbeard rating that would look like a fedora.

Didn't we just get rid of the black hat that was A-log?

I wouldn't mind it back, but I can see how Dumb can be used for a lot of it. Would like a "Salty" or "Trollshielding" rating though.

Here's an idea: a Redundent rating.
Make it look like a ouroborus (snake eating it's tail) or something along those lines.
The idea would be that it's to cut back on the number of repetitive posts (Nick Bates gonna get raped lol). It could either be negative (to make people take it more seriously) or neutral (so that people are more likely to use it)

"Trollshielding" rating though.

A-Log used to cover trollshielding.

Here's an idea: a Redundent rating.

As far as repetitive posts go, really, most of the talk in Lolcow updates is redundancy, people usually don't really say a whole lot of original things(since most of the responses are humorous/jokes) and it's fine as long as it doesn't go overboard. I don't personally like the Nick thread for this reason but I understand that people want to get it off their chests : the asshole is finally in prison. When redundancy starts being a problem(i.e Chris or Nick prison rape jokes) then the moderation will usually issue an edict and say that yeah, it's enough already.

Isn't that basically the late rating?

I'm pretty sure "late" covers that.

I've been using that with Richard when he starts copy+pasting his garbage lately; I felt it was fitting.

A-Log used to cover trollshielding.

But isn't that white knighting?

Trollshielding isn't white knighting.

"Troll shielding" is the act of attempting to evade being trolled by becoming a member of a trolling organization. Typically, those who manage to obtain shielding spend their second lives as trolls contributing nothing to the cause, and continue to do what they did before convincing their new buddies that they've "changed their ways".

I.E exactly what A-Log did since he was a Chris-chan tier autist deserving of his ED page even without a tangential connection to Chris. People seem to think that A-logging simply constituted as being extremely hateful toward a lolcow(and unfortunately the definition of A-logging and the example quotes on the wiki seems to heavily imply that) but a-logging as a term on this forum includes the trollshielding part too.
Tl;dr, if you're comparing yourself favorably to a lolcow (i.e "I may be a tumblr otherkin autist with multiple headmates but at least I'm better than Vade!") you're a-logging/trollshielding even if you're not wishing death upon the lolcow.

Can we have the A-Log rating back? At least just for the Chris forums since Anthony LoGatto was particular to Chris?

I think the problem with the A-log rating is that most people don't know what it means. Keep it on the Chris board though (maybe not Sonichu)

Yeah but the staff put that big explanation of it up on the main page a couple of days ago, and I think, as you note, misunderstood use will be minimized if it's confined to the Chris board since there's a better chance that the readers there are more versed in Christorical lingo.

Perhaps there should just be a simple glossary for all the smilies in a nice, easy to find place to ensure this shit never happens again?

 

[DNJACK]

Ratings are quite important.

 

[Dr. Meme]

If i don't get enough positive ratings each and every day I cry on WrongPlanet for 2 hours to calm down.

Usually that constitutes at least a minimum of 30 positives a day.

People would use it as a "super dumb" or something. I personally liked having the rating, although I rarely used it, but I honestly believe that only a fraction of the posts rated in that way were actually any sort of a-logging. Dumb people are why we can't have nice things.

We need a "confused" rating for when someone either uses bad spelling and grammar, or doesn't make any sense at all.
