Private/Direct Messages Chain Spam Issue

We might not have reaction scores or trophy counters, but at least we still have our post counts.

i am fucking shocked people actually care and are within minutes filing tech grievances complaints that it's gone, like you people actually check that??? frequently???

Yeah I’d like to see what’s broken if it’s my retardation or the sites. I have it tabbed as a watched forum

They exist to provide instant feedback and a level of self-moderation. It shouldn't be something anyone actually covets, but it might inform you that what you're saying is not a part of zeitgeist or conversely is very interesting.

I really hate to tell you this, I know you added a bunch of features as a meme back in the day but alot of Internet addicted weirdos do not know this and unintentionally get addicted. Feel free to hit me with a lunacy.

Reaction score being gone is as liberating as my access to Sneedchat being revoked. This is a good change. The less distractions there are from actually focusing on posting the better.

Are you ready for your final liberation?

Android is going to jump of a bridge. Pretty sure her only reason for living was to downvote chuds who don't think throwing newborn babies into blenders is peak feminism.

does this not work? I get notifications very reliably.

Yes, but the menu to find it so far away

 

[CHARizard]

As long as quote notifications still work I dont care. I check the alerts for quotes specifically so I can stay involved in conversations.

You get one alert and no more afterward.

Does Q&A solutions also getting nuked on profiles mean the subforum is going to get the special upvoting system it has stripped away too?

Don't give the autist any more ideas, you little shits

I get one alert, catch up with the thread, then the alerts happen again.

i knew there was a point system but it was always kind of useless since i would sort from oldest to newest whent he option was available

I come back from class and the first thing I see is null removed the dislike button from youtube videos. Extremely homosexual behavior.

Personally, I understand both sides of the sticker issue.

On the one hand, you have those who give out neg-rates, and then they don't contribute in any real discussion. They believe as if the sticker should be the signifier of their opinions and viewpoints and nothing more. They don't feel the need to add to the discussion to make it more autistic or to get validation for their opinion. Their sticker speaks for itself and they move on with their day. Or sometimes, they add the sticker because "lol ur (this sticker)". After all, that's what they're there for. That's their purpose. To be a representation of your approval or disapproval or just your reaction.

But then you have those who get those negrates and are desperate in wanting someone to come at them with a rebuttal to their viewpoints or whatnot. But they grow increasingly dissatisfied with the idea that LOL IT'S JUST STICKERS. Well obviously, the person using those ratings rated the person's response with the sticker, the sticker being the thing that represents their beliefs on a situation. The person rated with that sticker wants to hear more from that person beyond the sticker shitposting to see if their arguments have weight. So if you don't give any sort of rebuttal and just leave it at a sticker, the person becomes increasingly angry at you or whatnot, irrationally. This is what led to that utterly hilarious thread with @crocodilian sperging out about @snailslime and @zedkissed60. After all, it's a forum where we can say whatever the fuck we want almost as long as it doesn't inconvenience Our Dear Leader.

There's an interesting grasp of psychology to it all. To the way we use the internet, the way we communicate, interactions, and whatnot. How the stickers are so specific in their purpose in response to other people's posts. How one can become obsessed with people's opinions and perspectives and what they meant by just one sticker. They are quite an interesting weapon.

Compared to pms which are an instant dropdown to see new replies

 

[Clown]

I wonder what's going to go next.

Alternatively, amp up the gamification and make it a paid feature to see and receive alerts for reactions you've received.

I can bet at least 1 person on this site would pay the $20 for True and Honest just to see their own reaction score.

The DM notification area prioritizes conversations with unread messages, it's easier for unread watched threads to get lost under read watched threads. DM notifications are also more visible while browsing unrelated areas of the site. I'm not saying this is super important or vital but it contributes to where I spend my time.

I watch 4 threads, its pretty reliable for the one that gets several posts a day but i think that somehow eats the other notifications because i only get them for the most active one, not that it bothers me that much anyway it just seems slightly broken
