How did smartness react to things like imo, tl;dr, itt, iirc and such?

I clicked a rating and it took me to the homepage. Is it just me? Or is Facepunch acting up again?

[QUOTE=Neo Kabuto;37331566]If you didn't follow certain standards[/QUOTE] To be a bit more specific: if you said a word/phrase that was on the smartness list (leet speak shit, bad grammar combinations, common misspellings) you were deducted points based on how many words were in the post, but you could always correct the errors to gain back smartness. It also had a few exploits that you could do to give yourself a smartness ranking in the millions, which happened a few times.

[QUOTE=Jo The Shmo;37331589]i dont think theres a way to fix mass debate[/QUOTE] I agree but it would be funny seeing people get banned in there for smartness

why would you add smartness in mass debate it wouldnt change anything

-working again-

all mass debate does is give mods more work. the quality of the arguments are no different than the ones in any other section [editline]20th August 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=NomadicNinja;37332188]why would you add smartness in mass debate [/QUOTE] fewer people would post

smartness just stopped people from typing like idiots it doesn't actually stop people from posting stupid ideas/arguments so mass debate would still be terrible

Why do the section icons all follow the same theme as the ratings (i forgot the style name), but the Valve section's icon has a glassy shine to it?

because the section icons were just made by random people

Fuck that shit.[/QUOTE] Upgrades help support the forum, you can file for a title, gold member, gold member or title for a friend or even better you may feel the need to change your name. You get to also share the money to your favourite moderator (with some of the profit still going to garry). It supports the forums and yeah.

If I hadn't got gold a few weeks before garry changed it, I don't think I would have bought it. The best thing about being gold is the extra avatar space and that's not even that great.

Hello, yes, I have a question about the forums. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/QmvTM.png[/IMG] Why is this thread so popular?

[QUOTE=oakman26;37334688]what is TOXX?[/QUOTE] It originated in the SomethingAwful forums. You make a promise and invoke the TOXX clause. If you break the promise, you get permabanned.

[QUOTE=oakman26;37334688]what is TOXX?[/QUOTE] Basically? You go the way of Toxx from SomethingAwful: you make a prediction, usually with a forfeit, and when you fail to deliver on that forfeit you get perma'd. Sometimes, people forgo the middle-man and make the forfeit itself a perma, as with the guy who made the HL2:E3 prediction recently.

[QUOTE=GeneralSpecific;37334705]It originated in the SomethingAwful forums. You make a promise and invoke the TOXX clause. If you break the promise, you get permabanned.[/QUOTE] lets keep it on SA.

[QUOTE=areolop;37334760]lets keep it on SA.[/QUOTE] toxx can be pretty hilarious though

[QUOTE=areolop;37334760]lets keep it on SA.[/QUOTE] I don't see why, the forum title images and smilies come from SA, if anything we borrow what SA created. I like a good TOXX clause [editline]21st August 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=DireAvenger;37334149]And in extension to this, trust me when I say that Gold Member is not worth it. Unless you really [b]really[/b] like shitposting.[/QUOTE] GM upgrade isn't bad, RC is pretty good for a read if you're bored and GMF have some good content on it so it was tbh worth it.

[QUOTE=Jo The Shmo;37332851]because the section icons were just made by random people[/QUOTE] someone should update it to match the style

I was kinda waiting for someone to make a giant "that cat" avatar with the exploit. Also, when was lazyV a mod and why was he demodded/step down? Also wondering the same thing with Greeman.
