We need a shovel rating with all the holes people are digging for themselves. [editline]5th September 2017[/editline] The emote is fine and all, but it should be a rating.
This forum needs more blank space

[QUOTE=AtomicSans;52651860]Newpunch is coming [b]soon[/b] to satisfy your needs[/QUOTE] :quotes: [editline]5th September 2017[/editline] Also rating disagree or dumb on an opinion and then not expanding on it seems lazy to me
[QUOTE=TrafficMan;52652022]:quotes: [editline]5th September 2017[/editline] Also rating disagree or dumb on an opinion and then not expanding on it seems lazy to me[/QUOTE] nah because you can't outright call someone a dumbcunt without being banned for flaming, this is the safest way to do that unless they are being a mega ton cunt like advocating genocide, depends on the situation but most of the time you can't just post "you fuckin idiot" without being banned, i guess also because it's a lazy post to begin with put some effort into it "listen here you fucking idiot, your opinion is dumb and i fucking think your a cunt" maybe that might slide????
I'd rather be rated 30 dumbs than see 30 posts of people saying "you're dumb". It's actually a blessing because that would be annoying.
[QUOTE=wauterboi;52652101]I'd rather be rated 30 dumbs than see 30 posts of people saying "you're dumb". It's actually a blessing because that would be annoying.[/QUOTE]This is why I consider every forum other than Facepunch to be unusable. I'm not kidding. On any message-board that has no way to succinctly call people idiots, the majority of posts are low-effort garbage to the effect of "ur dumb" except it takes up the screen space of a full post
To those who care about rateings, be happy we don't keep track of them anymore.
If you are bothered by ratings, perhaps you should consider disabling them?
Ratings are the 16th sense. If you disable them you need a white cane beside your avatar.
[QUOTE=sam6420;52652295]Don't think anybody mentioned being bothered by ratings[/QUOTE] the fact that you bring it up means you care about ratings. BANNED
[QUOTE=Jack Kanoff;52650688]advertising for server[/QUOTE] Dis guy'a advertising a minecraft server in the gmod WIP thread. I just don't think anyone but me reported it. Question: if I report, refresh the page, and report again, does that count as two reports and put it in the queue?

Clearly, there only solution here is to globally remove ratings from the forums.
[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;52652752]Clearly, there only solution here is to globally remove the forums.[/QUOTE]
If ratings were removed, I don't think the site could be called facepunch it just wouldn't be the same
last time they left only the gold star rating in SH how about finishing the job
Rating idiot cull?
[QUOTE=UncleJimmema;52652271]To those who care about rateings, be happy we don't keep track of them anymore.[/QUOTE] I can imagine the liability when keeping track of ratings. Still I miss looking at each member's profile to see their rating history.
Just change the ban reason to "cares too much about ratings." Problem solved
I've always thought it should be "whines about ratings" or "complains about ratings". You can care about ratings all you want, the only problem is when you start making pointless posts about it.
Can we talk about this: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ZbBlInI.png[/IMG] Why could the fun not last a bit longer :(
[QUOTE=Kiwi;52651400]I don't see any benefit gained from caring about a 16x16 png. If you're that clueless the thread will tell you WHY your post sucks anyway and will either counter or roast you.[/QUOTE] You're getting hung up on the ratings part and totally missing the point. The point isn't the rating. The point is that if it's not obvious [I]why[/I] you're getting those ratings it'd be nice to know the reasoning for them. If you don't know why what you said is dumb then you're unlikely to change your opinion or bother considering it. Ratings just happen to be the tool used to communicate that it's a dumb or false thing to say. It's one thing to ban someone like [URL="https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1566622&p=52643009&viewfull=1#post52643009"]Clovis earlier this week[/URL] when they tried to use their dumb ratings to claim that they were being proven right. It's another thing altogether if someone is getting rated dumb and asks why that's happening because they aren't sure and nobody is explaining. [QUOTE=wauterboi;52652101]I'd rather be rated 30 dumbs than see 30 posts of people saying "you're dumb". It's actually a blessing because that would be annoying.[/QUOTE] Or the better alternative that doesn't totally miss the point of what people are saying: A few posts explaining [I]why[/I] what you said is dumb. You know. Something that's actually helpful.
No one is obligated to do that, though. And my opinion doesn't have to change. The idea that people need to tell me why I'm dumb so that my opinion will change is unnecessary.

The idea that people need to tell me why I'm dumb so that my opinion will change is unnecessary.[/QUOTE] Congratulations on totally missing the entire point of forums then, I guess? The entire point of a forum is to discuss shit with other people. The point of ratings is to prevent posts that would add nothing to the thread. Can you not see where rating someone then never explaining why when it's not obvious or already explained by someone else kinda goes against the entire point of the forum even existing?
[QUOTE=wauterboi;52653233]No one is obligated to do that, though. And my opinion doesn't have to change. The idea that people need to tell me why I'm dumb so that my opinion will change is unnecessary.[/QUOTE] No one is obligated to do it but if you get a fair few dumb ratings, there's a chance that if you ask why, you're going to get a response of one of them, so it's worth asking. And some people may actually change their opinion based on hearing why they got rated dumb, not everyone's opinions are written in stone
what the fuck is a rating
you're free to ask why in PMs instead of shitting up the thread with it
Why the fuck must I change my password if I've been banned? It is beyond frustrating. Just recently I got banned, and it immediately was like "YOUR PASSWORD IS A MONTH OLD, CHANGE IT OTHERWISE WE WONT SHOW ANY PAGE TO YOU". Out of protest, I refused to do so, and of course when my ban reached it's natural expiration I was allowed to continue browsing without changing my password.
