[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;48151686]Bring boostar back and make agrees and disagrees cost $0.01, funnies and dumbs cost $0.05 and winners cost a $1. Call it a social experiment gauging how much do people value their opinion.[/QUOTE]
Would you also accept a Bitcoin tip bot, the money in which I'd run off with when this has all blown over in a week?
who the fuck removed ratings in SH
Ratings are a core part of FP for me, please don't remove them.
[QUOTE=Sand Castle;48151646]this is a stupid idea[/QUOTE]
ok
i've only seen "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" ever used by teachers trying to shut kids up, and people that can't take criticism
Ratings gone from SH? Well that's a shame.

I think there would be better discussion if there wasn't an easy way for people to just say "this is stupid" or "I disagree" without saying why.

Don't you worry mate, you've racked up enough of a supply of boxes in SH to last you a lifetime.

not for negative posts -- usually sniping or unnecessary posts by the definition of someone posting "shadaez inbound!" at the beginning of a thread about an anita sarkeesian video
I will [highlight]fucking choke[/highlight] whoever stripped SH's ratings privileges

No, I'm sure Starpluck is completely confounded how no one is going against this decision!

not everyone feels like writing a two paragraph long post telling you why you're wrong

But I don't need to make a post when someone says what I want to say but better.
Or if a post got enough dumbs, I don't bother replying to it because I know it's not worth responding to.
Wonder how many people will start quoting posts and saying "This" now. Could have just left it how it was...
[QUOTE=Sand Castle;48151819]not for negative posts -- usually sniping or unnecessary posts by the definition of someone posting "shadaez inbound!" at the beginning of a thread about an anita sarkeesian video[/QUOTE]
Yeah, true. Then again, it doesn't happen all that often someone shuts you up for posting something negative.
[QUOTE=Explosions;48151272]People always complain about SH being some sort of shitposting cesspool but I never really see it. I think it's just that people are more exposed to viewpoints they don't like so their opponent is automatically "shitposting."[/QUOTE]
you're pretty high on the list of people renowned for stirring shit up with dissenting opinions and how you present your arguments

I wasn't talking about agrees or positive ratings.
That state of mind would also enforce the "hive mind" that (for example) Reddit suffers from where posts that go against the popular opinion are ignored and downvoted never to be read.

even so, he has a point
[QUOTE=gastyne;48151825]No, I'm sure Starpluck is completely confounded how no one is going against this decision![/QUOTE]Jus wanted to give some notice to the epic zinger.
At the very least, make ratings not visible until you get like 3 of them. I personally ignore ratings until I see at least 3 of a single rating.

I do skim the post, but it's usually so bad that like 5 consecutive people reply to it so it shows me there's no point adding to it.
At least people have to use their words to "bring down the unorthodox point" instead of just bombing it with ratings, along with the couple sympathizers rating Agree or such.
Then again people always liked quoting posts and telling them why they received dumbs. Only during very special occasions a post receives only Dumb ratings, but no Replies, which would suggest a strong unified consensus among FP. Or it may suggest an annoying rating bandwagon, people thinking something is funny/dumb when it is NOT!

The only time I've ever butted heads with you was when - surprise surprise - we disagreed on something. Suddenly I'm "shitposting." Go figure.
Honestly, I'm glad ratings are gone from SH. I'm pretty sick of people implying that my [B]opinion [/B]is wrong.

The difference is, it's not reddit and posts that get dumbed down don't sink to the bottom of the page. In fact, many will more likely actually read that post just to find out what's so stupid about it. Just not say anything, because when you're skimming through the thread, the ratings give a clear indication that more likely than not, someone has already made multiple posts about it.

That's actually an interesting idea. I know some Reddit subforums have a timer that hides the ratings, in order to promote more discussion, but primarily to lower bandwagoning and witty replies.
Not sure how easily implementable that'd be with our current ratings system.
I loved getting dumbs for my opinion, they were delicious please don't take this away from me
Everyone from SH invaded this thread.

Well, they brought muh ratin's into this
First they came for Hobbies, and I did not speak out - because I did not post in it.
Then they came for Mass Debate, and I did not speak out - because I did not post in it.
Then they came for Creationism Corner, and I did not speak out - because I did not post in it.
Then they came for the ratings - and there was no one left who could rate me.
