Post Ratings Discussion

Should we have a fish hook rating?

  • Yea

    Votes: 1,031 85.5%
  • Nay

    Votes: 175 14.5%

  • Total voters
    1,206
Is there a list of what even counts as positive vs negative?
:achievement: = +1
:like: = +1
:dislike: = 0
:agree: = +1
:disagree: = 0
:winner: = +1
:semperfi: = +1
:feels: = +1
:drink: = +1
:lunacy: = -1
:optimistic: = 0

as for ones I couldn't find the icons for:

autistic is 0
deviant is -1
dumb is -1
horrifying is 0
islamic content is -1
late is -1
mad on the internet (formerly a-log) is -1
thunkful is 0
TMI (formerly powerlevel) is 0

former ratings:

nice meme = +1
off topic = -1
press 1 = +1
press 2 = 0

(after spending years here you kind of absorb how ratings work even if you don't really care)

Null said that Achievement would give you +1000. *tips fedora*
 
What were press 1 and press 2 for?
Back when Deagle Nation was a thing. Press 1 was an alternate Agree and Press 2 was an alternate Disagree. IIRC they came from Jace saying "press 1 if you agree" or "press 2 if you disagree" in videos. IIRC Press 1 and Press 2 were later used in a mock GamerGate forum around the time GamerGate was still a thing.

(they looked like little keyboard keys for 1 and 2 BTW)

Might be a dumb question, but what is the symbol for the “horrifying” rating supposed to be? I can’t make any sense of it. Is it... a piercing? A dumbbell?

I think it's a dumbbell piercing, like the kind that made up my namesake, before Chris's lack of wiping his ass caused it to get infected.
 
@Null Now that you're working on QoL changes and cosmetic tweaks for the site would you reconsider using the updated version of the ratings @BlueSpark made? He tweaked the ratings with the feedback from everyone here. Also, he made vectors for Thunk-Provoking and Lunacy if I'm not mistaken. The cureent ones look blurry on high-dpi displays.
 
Can we please have a liar rating for posts like this?
