Post Ratings Discussion

[Badungus Kabungus]

Personally. I get kind of stoked when I see people use something I make in a way I never expected. It's always one of those 'huh I never thought of that but that's kinda cool' moments.

Wonder if that's how the Creator feels about anal sex.

 

[Creasman]

I see we've circled back to "do what I say or you'll lose everything - stickers or it's OVER for you, MOON". Don't threaten me with a good time.

If not getting sticker notifications ends the forum it did not deserve to exist.

I don't understand how it's possible to believe both "XenForo is broken and shitty" and "you're using the site wrong" at the same time. Anyway, it'd be convenient to filter watched thread notifications by reaction score. I want to know when someone's post is worth at least three Informative ratings, not every time anyone posts.

Another retarded decision. Hooray!

Considering all the diseases and injuries that anal sex causes, I am going to say he is a lot more like Null in that regard.

Programmers are a different breed, their inherent autism makes it difficult for them to envision a user experience that isn't their own. It's why most websites have god awful UI.

Null should add automatic greentext so soyquoting on kiwifarms would be easier.

Perhaps notifications for new highlights in watched threads would be a good way of implementing this.

Remove notifications for when your post gets quoted, receiving acknowledgement of your posts is just dopamine farming

We gotta find out what Null hates more, American cheese or emote arguing

The Great Sticker Question is by far one of my favorite parts of this site, because I have no stake in it at all and I dislike absolutely everyone involved in it (it's basically a tug of war with one autism-fueled retarded ragepig on one side and several dopamine-fueled retarded ragepigs on the other) and absolutely no one involved will ever be entirely satisfied regardless of whatever decision is made, meaning the argument, and consequently the amusement I derive from it, will never ever end. It is an all you-can-eat-buffet of gourmet halal lolcow content.

Who the fuck needs a goddamn notification every time someone stickers one of your posts?
Like, if you're that addicted to attention that can't even measure up to a reply, just comb your post history to see what stickers you got, fuck's sake.

It seems to me that these people use their sticker notifications as some sort of Twitter feed/Tiktok for you page, but for Kiwi Farms. Because they need something they can just scroll down for dopamine and they can't just look at the forum list to see which threads are currently active or even remember what thread they have replied to recently because their attention span is so short. This is literally brainrot from using social media that is just an endless scrolling experience down a long list of posts instead of a forum that is segregated into sections and threads.

If the dopamine chasing negrate complainers are so bad they're causing mental anguish, just ban the annoying faggots and move on. That will improve the userbase more than nuking features 75% of the site used and liked.

"Use the site navigation features!"
"But they suck."
"I know they suck, but using anything else is retard niggerbrain low IQ reddit behavior!"

Null, I love this site and I know you go through hell to keep it alive, but you have to recognize how this would draw fire in any situation.

It would stop null clittly leaking about "getting pinged" and "getting dragged back into things" so TSMT do this

 

[Lurker]

hey guys, i have found an exploit

profile post reactions still show the specific reaction on your reactions page

QUICK, ABUSE THIS FEATURE BEFORE HE SEES THIS

 

[The Lawgiver]

I use watched threads without issue. Can you PLEASE, FUCKING EXPLAIN TO ME how getting "X replied to Y" is less intrusive than "X reacted to Z in Y" ten times in a fucking row?????

I feel like this is an entirely selfish thing. You don't care if the thread is progressing, you don't care if that discussion is moving forward, if there's new content, you care only if your fucking post has eyes on it. Is this the reality of human psychology? I want to make a forum that has more content and more real discussion but the actual users just want "BING BING WAHOO!!! FIVE WINNERS!!!"

Good to know watched threads works for you, but as people have already pointed out SEVERAL times for normal users it tends to break pretty often, and isn't always pinging threads people want to check in. An opt in side tab with more specific points isn't intrusive due to the fact it's a separate section that doesn't actively ping you on top of the pre-existing watched threads section that inconsistently pings with vaguer data. The variety helps in case one goes awry or someone wants more specifics, something which the way you keep framing things as bad suddenly when throughout the years You've previously been all for specifics. I know you're stressed out as shit these days which is probably a factor in how this is all happening right now and I'm genuinely kind of worried. Not about ratings, but like you specifically. Like legit concerned.
I've noticed that when I've seen you replying to someone half the time the last few months in a way that'd normally be a quote, you just plop it in the thread like an angry vaguepost on twitter or something, Not a direct quote. Whatever you're going through I hope you get through it. I didn't bring it up back then, but I'm bringing it up now because I feel that and this share some connection. People can be retarded as shit online for sure but this sudden hostility towards shit you yourself implemented over stupid fucking internet drama after the other stuff i've been occasionally seeing off compared to usual isn't right, and isn't you. At least not the "you" of the last like 10-ish years I've interacted with on here.

I fucking hate people obsessing over stickers, I fucking hate people obsessing over hating stickers, I fucking hate this gay ass shit where people frame it like people are talking about shit or after something they aren't when they make their goals clear. I fucking hate that some dumbass with chatgpt addled scripts tried reinstating the fucking ratings numbers after they got comically scrambled in response to prior stupid fucking drama. I hate the stupid fucking fake ass left/right shuffle of the current year eternal. I've got so much fucking mounting existential kafka nightmare-ish shit in life going on that if I didn't feel dead most of the day and didn't release my stress via Playing vidya, drawing, and shitposting with increasingly absurd inside jokes I'd probably be susceptible to whatever's going on as the result of your ooperating/isolation stresses. Might not be coming across 100% clear but I'm in a state where I'm both multitasking and kind of running on 0 fucking sleep while typing out this post.

I'm thankful the react tab is on again, even for a short while, but it's less due to the reacts themselves and more due to the thing that's been said by countless people involving having more than one way of checking a thread. The thing that's Suddenly now being framed as the bad retard thing after the reddit karma ass shit was disproven as the main reason people check it. issue is People have been navigating shit like this to a degree for a long while now but this recent drama is just being used as a way to suddenly frame that as if it's something else intent wise while ignoring every other factor at play. If they had another option aside from the ratings and watched tabs, they'd use it, but now that's being framed as bad too?
God, the opening to this thread compared to the current day is like day and night in terms of stress levels.

It's nothing like a twitter feed or tiktok unless you boil things down to "new content" at which point quotes, replies, the entire fucking forum qualifies as "tiktok". New post notifications, new threads sidebar, watched threads. All of that shit is used the same way in varying flavors of filter and monitoring. By your standards this entire forum should cease to be.

 

[God's strongest milkman]

I might be misunderstanding the issues but wouldn't the main problems be solved if the sticker notifications weren't links. Like if you couldn't click on them to go see the post itself so you just got text saying "congrats bucko" but you couldn't actually interact with it. People would still get their dopamine but they wouldn't be able to follow asspats around like a panting dog.

 

[Miller]

This isn't about reactions any more. This is about site navigation, personal feed, and tracking your own site history. Xenforo sucks for all those, the stickers and the notifications were an intuitive workaround to approximate them. Now Null is nuking them because he thinks idiots are chasing karma, and he's too autistic to understand emergent user behavior in response to roadblocks.

Does he really think that people care about the social score?
I like the stickers because they allow me to know if people enjoyed my comment or not and it pushes me to be better.

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

Null I still love you tardboy.

 

[The Lawgiver]

I don't want dopamine, I don't want asspats. This would not help me or others using another vector of thread activity checking. Still I find your proposal very funny.

I am not sure about this (I dont use these social media sites)

For me the appeal of stickers is simple: I like it when people that I like, agrees or approves of sometimes that I wrote. And conversely, if posters that I like writes something, I want to cheer them on. It creates a sense of community.

If the reactions were anonymous (like preddit) I would find them completely pointless.
