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.

Oh noes! how will I know who's bombarding me with puzzle pieces, trash cans and top hats?
One of my habits after logging in was to check my alerts and open each of the posts in a new tab, so this is going to save me a lot of time.
Thanks @Null.

You know you could've disabled the notifications right you retarded ERP'ing furfag.
For the retard that cockmongled his own account bullshit instead of DFE'ing like everyone else in your circle. You should've seen that.

Nigger, weren't you just telling me a day ago how gay furry homo roleplays help drive crucial traffic to this website? :story:

I will be creating a mass DM specifically for the purpose of asking people for permission to invite them to the real mass DMs. If you haven't received an invitation yet, it's because you suck and I hate you.

Doesn't the requirement for consent ruin the fun of it?

Wait what? Why the fuck are we all talking about stickers now? That had nothing to do with the original complaint / topic of chain DMs. My two cents:

1. I don't care about reaction score beyond being able to easily identify a sperg that doesn't have the triangle of shame yet. I could easily do without it.

2. Notification alerts serve a utility in easily seeing how posts made are taken. Like it or not, they serve to correct shitty behavior in normal users. "Why is what I said retarded? Why do so many people disagree with my take? Hmmmmmm.... Oh. I suggested we call CPS on that user. I'd better not do that then."

I didn't see the initiating post going through the highlights, but it seems like a fun site feature that has some utility in how users interact is being yoinked because a handful of spergs take it way too seriously.
