Rejected Dumb Suggestion (Read - Vote)

post dumb shit expect the dumb rating

 

Just don't make dumb posts


Also remove rating privs from roz

 

I'm just gonna rate the posts creative (otherwise known as artistic) if it gets removed anyways

 

Or useful since it calls the person a tool

 

Make dislike a negative rating and I could get behind this

 

@angie It's turning into cG again

I have a proposition, dumbs should count as a neutral, therefore people can't use it to spite people with, ez

edit:
or just remove the rating privileges for people who abuse it and make it into such an issue

 

That was fucking brutal.

Imagine getting upset over a fucking online forums rating.
Just keep them cuz who cares about a pix-elated box that has no effect on you or your life whatsoever.
Getting rid of it than you might as well get rid of negative ratings then cuz that's where most of them come from.

also just don't post things that are dumb dumbby.

 

Wait, so the rest of the community might lose access to a completely valid rating just because the adminstration disagrees with the way one user uses it????

 

disagree with removing it bc of a few people who abuse it, it's not hard to find people abusing the rating, set a definition, or make it a neutral thing, only reason why people get so uppity is because it's a negative rating.

 

You cant fool me jabba. This is just bait to get the most dumb ratings

 

There are reasons why social media sites, such as Twitter and Facebook, don't have a dislike button: does nothing but increase tension, escalate situations, and essentially wreak negativity. It also doesn't contribute anything to discussions.
If someone rates dumb, they should tell the person why they believe it's dumb, and for the most part, they can't. They'll say they disagree or dislike it, but we have a separate ratings for that already. So what is the purpose of the Dumb rating?

Personally I don't really care so long as they don't rate absolutely everything I post dumb. There are times where people say they agree with me, yet rate dumb just out of spite. *cough*Pokeben*cough*

Overall I voted to remove it for the above reasons. Not because it may jibble my willies, but because it's completely unnecessary to have it in the first place.

P.S. if you rate this dumb and can't bother to explain why then you're part of the problem and don't have a leg to stand on.

 

So let's just go and have a comprehensive understanding of the dumb rating before we go and get rid of it. See, it all started when xenoforo was introduced, and everyone was like "owo what's this owo" and so began the great dumbing down of our community. At first the dumb rating was mostly used to mock idiots, actualy dumb dumbs, and also as a ploy for Sir Lemoncakes to become the most negatively rated bastard on the godamn planet (here). Since then, a number of lamo loser wannabes like oh totally wanted to copy lemoncakes and achieve the same goal. Spoiler... they all failed...

Press fast forward and we reach the Rozboon continuum. This is the point where Rozboon began to use the dumb rating very liberally to go after people he did not like. He would essentially just rate them dumb because they exist and he does not like them, but then just say "oh, don't make dumb posts." The administration was bamboozled. Rumor has it, he still rates posts dumb to this day (if you look he probably rated this one dumb to). He basically kicked off a wave of these trolls that essentially just use the dumb rating as a tool to lash out against people that they dislike. I mean, just go to any thread that has a lot of dumb ratings and you'll find it is usually the same 3 or 4 people who are rating all the posts dumb.

Now, you also have the forbidden rule of "if you say 'don't rate this dumb'" people will rate it dumb. Always. Without fail. For, as you see, there are a lot of low IQ humor people on these forums who think it is just fucking hilarious to do exactly what you tell them not to. These are the same people who eat glue and watch paradise PD (don't fucking @ me). Every now and again a dumb war will start, where two people will just began mass dumbing all the posts by the other person. One of them eventually gets bored, or the other will just stop posting. Basically, you can't have a fire with no fuel.

But like, what does this all mean at the end of the day? I don't think that the rating itself needs to go, I think the mindless dumb fucks who use these ratings all the time need to go. They add nothing to this community, and more or less just make life a living hell for us honest memers. However, I should also point out the common "hey, why are you getting mad... it is just a rating," to those people I would basically just like to inform you that you are just the kind of retard this community needs, and god fucking bless you.

 

I rated it dumb because you said not to


Anyways, I like the dumb rating, let's keep it. Its just a lil box, definitely not worth getting upset about.

 

At the end of the day, people rate dumb because of their dislike for the user, not their opinions, otherwise they would simply rate it 'disagree'.

I didn't say not to, I said you don't have any good reason to keep it.
Read the first sentence of my post and you can already find at least 4 good reasons for why it should be removed.

 

Bro what? Its just a rating. It means nothing. You cant use it against someone in a report, appeal, or application. Leave the ratings be lmao dont pull a cG that shit was wack

 

You just don't like that all your dumb ideas get dumbed
