What can be done to get Null to calm the fuck down? - First post in Q&A - Please be nice

[Flaming Dumpster]

First it was the cheese, then it was raging at the DSP forum, now he's come for group DMs and stickers.

Doing retarded things to fuck with retarded people who are creating retarded drama to cause you to do retarded things is retarded.

I ask the most useless board on the website: What (if anything) can be done to get Null to chill out?

If you've been on the internet longer than 5 years you understand that websites dramatically change all the time and there's nothing you can do about it, when's the last time a big social media site reverted back to an old layout or reversed changes because people couldn't mentally handle the change? You can enjoy the ride or stop using the site. That's the internet. That is the way every website has ever worked since the dawn of the internet. Do you not think people had catastrophic meltdowns the first few times facebook changed it's designs dramatically? People got used to it and kept using it after mass hysterics. Just as they will with the sticker notifications.

Reddit still maintains old.reddit.com even though its been years and years since they launched the new Reddit UI

Something Awful's forums still use a version of vBulletin from 2002, and Lowtax even raised a bunch of money to update it to Xenforo, which never happened, and then he spent all the money on Goldbelly pies and killed himself.

Aside from those, I can imagine we'll see some sites reverting to old-school 2000s styles sooner or later, as internet nostalgia really starts kicking in. Lots of sites nowadays have pretty bad layouts, designed around phone usage, when old fashioned sites looked great and were very snappy on phones to begin with. You're not wrong that they change all the time, but the changes are almost always for the worse, which boiled the frog slowly into the world of horrible interfaces we all have to put up with now.

I don't use reddit so I had no idea about that.
And I don't disagree that most are for the worst, but it's more about the fact that we can't do anything about it and just generally have to learn to live with the changes

Yup. They sure do. Better than Samsung garbage that comes preloaded with a bunch of bullshit. I also like the shake the phone to turn the flashlight on thing Motorola does. Handy for when you're in attics and crawlspaces.

Looks like someone thinks you're a nigger for the green text

Huh?

I (justifiably in my opinion) don't like having a feature I used quite a lot disabled as part of a collective punishment because Null got mad at a few people.

Which is absolutely fine. People can have opinions on either side, but certain users are going to extremes over this.

Huh?

On iOS messages from non-iOS phones on messenger are in green. They appear blue if you have iOS. An Apple thing.

I spend all day outside and I do hard physical labour I doubt you'd be capable of even doing. Not everyone sits inside all day. I have no interest in things that add on extra effort to things I already do when I'm trying to relax.

If lurkers would read moar, they would know this about you.

I am straight up honest, I only really know about regular Q&A posters. And sometimes even I am confused and get things wrong. Grub has been pretty clear though that he works some physical job in Canacuckistan here in Q&A.
