what is the distinction between different ratings

[autisticdragonkin]

I understand ones like agree and disagree and winner but I don't understand what exactly autistic and dumb mean. if there is a thread on this please provide a link because I cannot find it.

 

[José Mourinho]

Autistic is a neutral rating. Dumb is a negative rating.

We had a thread on ratings btw

Don't post dumb things and you won't get dumb ratings

 

[Coster]

Autistic is pretty much something that would be expressed in a way that sounds like an autist would've said it. It's more or less the teetering point for a post being dumb. You rate something dumb if it's just outright retarded.

autistic is a way of life it could be if someone doesn't understand a joke or writes a twelve page essay on Chris' shirts
dumb is any post by @Jon-Nyan as an example

All I want to know is what Islamic Content, Semper Fidelis, and Optimistic actually *mean*.

I think ratings are fun, but it's always more fun to grasp the meaning behind things. The closest I found was "blasphemy" for the first (which I still don't think makes sense) and I don't get the second, even when I look it up. I get what it means, but I don't get the context here, and for Optimistic, that should be self-explanatory, but it's neutral with a rainbow... I don't think it actually means what I think it does.

Further clarification would be great, thanks.

Islamic content has literally no meaning. In practice it's for gross nudes or someone saying they'd fuck barb or something. It's like the haram meme.

Optimistic is a euphemism for gay and it's how you roll your eyes at OP and tell them they're stupid with a button without hurting their feelings because it's a negative rating, or call them gay. It used to be negative. It was changed to neutral after the SCOTUS ruling.

Semper fidelis is what you rate posts by lolcows.

I'm glad I asked, because that is literally the exact opposite of what I thought. And now it's here in the topic, for everyone else.

It's just the poorfags :deviant: and :horrifying:

Deviant and Islamic Content are both negative, but Islamic Content can also be for a really good shitpost.

Semper Fidelis and Islamic Content were things that Jace Connors would say.

Semper Fidelis

Rich mans Winner

Also, I'm not sure what the feels rating is supposed to be. All I know is that it's some kind of positive rating. Is it supposed to mean the post is kind-hearted in tone?

Feels rating is supposed to be a kind-hearted like or "I know that feel bro".

 

[Zarkov]

When in doubt, rate Islamic Content.

 

[AnOminous]

This site doesn't need any ratings but Islamic Content.

I agree, but do I rate this , or :islamic:???

 

[Dr.Research]

I think most people misuse :powerlevel:
Maybe I'm wrong, but powerleveling to me is posting something either uber personal that's not relevant to the conversation or giving out so much easily identifiable information that you could potentially be found elsewhere i.e. mentioning your usernames for personal sites.

I think anecdotes that may be of a personal nature can add depth to conversation and provide some useful tidbits.

Oops. I've been using it unironically since I joined the site six months ago.

Typically in response to posts where somebody says so-and-so is a cow, but look they've done something showing that maybe they're turning their life around, or maybe that their head isn't 100% up their ass.
