Post Ratings Discussion

[Le Bateleur]

At no point was I complaining about downvotes.

Did you even read what you replied to?

I like how you took one element of my post and fixed your whole argument on it, rather than the conventional approach of responding to all of what I wrote. Take the path less travelled!

Of course I read your post - it was deliciously rustled. Attentive readers might have deduced that I had read your post from the way that I addressed it directly in my reply, but don't feel bad that you missed it.

I'll finish with an easy-read retelling of the point in my original post: I don't vote with "the circlejerk". I don't post in accordance with "the circlejerk". People still like me here, because I'm not spaghettiriffic.

Thus, my argument: your opinions are less important than your demeanour.

It's almost as if being a likeable person who can express contrary opinions in a mature manner is something that anyone could accomplish if they actually put in the effort!

you have seven hundred pos reps and 50 bad ones. at worst you are being nudged by the community, not hammered into the fuckin mat

but here you are sperging and flinging insults at people with zero irony so i guess we're going to sit back and watch the system perform its intended function

It's fun when they squirm.

Do any of you know how to get the privilege to rate something "deviant" or "horrifying"?

You had to contribute to the 2014 charity drive or buy supporter status.

Ah ok, thanks. That would be pretty cool to have, and useful.

Also there should be a "butthurt" rating, I wonder why there isn't one. Sometimes "dumb" or "autistic" just doesn't cover things, and there are some oversensitive people that need to be directly shown that.

I think autistic works fine for that purpose.

Well, I can't argue with that. But "butthurt" would be the negative equivalent if that was implemented.

Not that I want to use it anytime soon, but I'm wondering why the A-Log rating shows up on some threads and not on others.

Edit to avoid double posting: @Coster That makes sense. I'm halfway through Vade's thread and just... Wow.

It should at least appear on all five of the "lolcow" subforums.

So far it is not in the Enter subforum yet. I had requested Null to add it but so far he hasn't done it yet.

Some threads, like Nick Bate's or Vade's, incite such a disgusted reaction from the people who post in them that a lot of the posts in them would be rated A-log if it were any other lolcow.

It isn't selected by thread, A-Log is one of those ratings that is not enabled by default and has to be activated for a board. It is not currently enabled in newly created lolcow boards like Ballpit or The Entersphere as well as the Off Topic boards. Personally I think A-Log should be enabled in all lolcow boards because no lolcow is immune to A-Logging, no matter how fond people are of saying otherwise for the ones they personally despise.

 

[CatParty]

we should be able to rate our own posts

A-Logging is kind of particular, IMO. If a cow is admitting to molesting his sister or asking his mother to fuck him, it's kind of hard to consider anything as over the top when it comes to insulting them. I guess it's possible for someone to talk about how better they are than those people, and that could get annoying, but I haven't really seen that yet. IDK I don't lurk the deviant cow threads that much.

 

[The Lone Wanderer]

I noticed A-Log is missing from the forums it was enabled in. Has it been disabled? Also, Deagle Nation no longer has Semper Fidelis.
