Is there a reason you can't determine this without looking at someone's score? Like you can't tell from the post itself? Do you look at a user's reaction score every time you're contemplating replying to them? idgi :stress:

Yes. I don’t respect anyone’s opinion unless the score is at least -1000 and they have a pink triangle.

Some things are best discussed in the privacy that only a Conversation can afford. Sometimes wanna just talk about something without certain people shitting it up, or turning it into ERP. Especially when you're in a minority group such as furries.

This is the most terrible reason ever for justifying the retard DM chains.

Furries should NEVER be allowed to do shit in private. Everything furries do should ALWAYS be done in public so we can laugh at those degenerate retards.

I believe seeing your score go up serves as an incentive to write good posts, and conversely seeing it go down is a deterrence for many people.
On the other hand I think it also drives low quality circle jerking (parroting superficial stuff already said many times, so people updoot you for saying the thing they like seeing) and whatever the opposite is called, where people get downvoted for well written, informative posts that just aren't in line with the in-group opinion of the thread regulars.
For me the ratings also serve as feedback as to whether anyone cares about whatever contribution I made, or how popular or unpopular the position is, so I can gauge the general slant of a thread or the community in general.

I would expect the people who are obsessed with their forum-enemies and "team red vs team blue" type of thinking, the people who see ratings as a way to fight their culture wars, to manually check posts and continue as usual, so I wonder how effective it would be in curbing that.

I have/had a DM going with a user who recently lost a family member. I suffered a similar loss and we were discussing our feelings (sorry, possibly gay and cringe). I honestly wouldn’t feel comfortable putting that kind of shit in a thread. Is this an acceptable use of DM’s or is a thread a preferred way?

Why are you asking what is acceptable in a "private" exchange between two correspondents? I thought Kiwi Farms was a free speech platform (lol).
