Private/Direct Messages Chain Spam Issue

[Lurker]

Shock, denial, anger.

Bargaining.
You'll be on to acceptance in no time oldfag.

no, it's... it's too soon...

Now that I think about it, Null is becoming a true 4chan janny. Doing everything he can to drive up the quality of contributions, not the quantity of it.

Next up, everyone will be Anonymous so that people don't sperg about other users, but sperg about whether or not Anon B is Anon A or not.

And the end goal, Kiwi Farms never migrates to Ruforo. Instead it migrates to Infinity Next, and we become an image board.

Does this not accomplish that?

There’s also a lot of boards I comment in Q&A that I don’t know if their active unless people like things. It usually gets buried by others questions and I forget it exists.

Would a compromise for people who want reactions be that they still get the notifications, but the overall score is still hidden? Though I question if that would deny the dopamine of reaction farmers, but who knows.

Force every user to autisticaly calculate their own score based on a daily changing value for each sticker.

This is just cheese drama 2024

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???

I never thought I'd be defending KF's Karma system, but the reaction score was a nice way of quickly figuring out who's a dumbass and who isn't before the introduction of the Troublesome Violet Triangle, especially if the aforementioned dumbass is a freshly made sock account with a post count too low to get picked up by the jannies.

does this not work? I get notifications very reliably.

Nope, I've only ever gotten "new reply" notifications for at most 4-5 threads I've recently looked at, but not all from my Watched threads list, even if someone posted recently in it.

How are you supposed to have in-depth hobby discussion when at any point some random could come into the thread and say “oh look this faggot left metadata on the drawing he posted, here’s his dox lol”

Probably by just not posting your own personally identifiable artwork on a doxing site.

 

[PermaLurker69]

That defeats the entire purpose of what I am wanting to accomplish.

I don't even know what we are all are arguing about anymore.

People who have reaction alerts turned on should just all be banned fr fr.

This shits turned on by default though when I registered. Might as well say all new users should be denied.

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 understand the concerns over autism but this shits kinda throwing out the baby with the bathwater. It has flaws, but people like gepettos woodclock (is he banned now?) having a negative 300 score was a REALLY handy indicator.
Plus who cares if someone enjoys a number on their profile?

does this not work? I get notifications very reliably.

I don't necessarily want to watch every damn thread I post in. Reaction notifications were a good subtle sign a thread is getting a little more action.

Is this because that autistic fuck was ironically rating EVERYTHING autistic in THAT thread? I think incidental case by case moderation against retards like that would be far better than nuking score entirely. If its NOT that, can someone fill me in on why such an autistic change? reaction farming in DMs? why?

Seriously I'd much rather moderators just jump people who "aren't technically breaking the rules" but are being enormous faggots, than shit things up with all these changes.

I know I'm a newfag but this seems a shit change. And even with people like that, "self moderating" tends to counter it(outside DM reaction farming), I know I liked several lone posts who got that autistic rating by that spam to counter it.

I really....don't understand why removing the score is a being considered a good idea, and its not april yet.
I understand the horse-shit lately, but I think theres better solutions to this shit than gutting things.

 

[Super Dilator Duel 3D]

Probably by just not posting your own personally identifiable artwork on a doxing site.

That’s my point. I’m not complaining, but Null asked why people don’t use the off-topic boards more. I suspect this is the biggest reason.

 

[Seedling]

It would be very funny if site engagement plummeted because Null disabled the biggest Skinner-box driving site engagement, and all out of some intensely autistic idealism about how users should or should not engage with his site.

I can't believe Null has forced me to actually make effort informative posts that add to the general quality of the thread on topic i have an actual interest instead of insentivising me to make shitty drive by single sentences jokes and farming karma

 

[Mankirk]

Next up, everyone will be Anonymous so that people don't sperg about other users, but sperg about whether or not Anon B is Anon A or not.

I would actually love to have a subforum where user identity is hidden from everybody but moderators.

 

[Finger Pistols]

How am I supposed to negrate users and make fun of people that care about reaction scores if they can't be notified of the stickers or see their reaction score?

 

[Fascist Frederick]

Would a compromise for people who want reactions be that they still get the notifications, but the overall score is still hidden? Though I question if that would deny the dopamine of reaction farmers, but who knows.

I think this is a good idea that way I can still have the satisfaction of knowing some faggot likely knows I gave them a trashcan.

You're missing the part where I said I'm lazy and so are other people. Reaction alerts are automatically enabled when you sign up so that's just what I've been using for the past 5+ years and I'm assuming that's what other people use as well.

And then a spinoff called kiwi.party happens and it's utterly impenetrable in culture to all the previous users

 

[HyperboreanRightsActivist]

people start sending nudes, sexually harassing each other, and getting involved in ultra-gay drama that I do not have the time or patience to untangle or deal with.

Why care about any of this? It doesn't affect you or KF's reputation. Non-farmers have already created gayop servers full of horrendous content to frame KF as a nazi pedo hosting site.

And either way, farmers are already on gay discord/telegram servers, so no amount of carrot-and-stick works.

Just let 'cord users bite the bullet for their mistakes

@Null you heard the man, time for a new Lounge board, even as a short term experiment.

 

[The Blue Morpho]

I loved veiled threats like this.

I am pragmatic, not idealistic, and the problem is that there are problems emerging from DM chains that would not happen if people posted in the main forum more often. I'd like to see what is going wrong that people prefer sprawling message exchanges.

I'm not talking about the DM chains, that is a feature I have literally never used once. I'm also not making any threats, veiled or otherwise. But I will probably use the site less because I used react notifications to track posts and I'm not interested in learning any new way of doing that.

Edit: How the fuck did you think by referring to a Skinner-box I was referring to DM chains and not the reacts? You tired or something BOY?
