No rating can beat a good laxative gaze.

Ratings divert people with nothing worthwhile to add. There's no need to create an entire post to agree with somebody in a couple of meagre words when you can convey the same meaning with a faintly amusing image. I could just as easily claim ratings purify the forum and ensure only the finest posts are given existence, but I don't want to put pressure on you all.

I take almost everyone serious because I have high functioning autism. No, I don't have an IQ of 70, in fact, after I didn't try in school or anything for 5 years, my IQ still measured as 132, which must be because I had brain fog and wasn't used to any kind of brain work, I assume it must be over the genius level by now hence school has been a breeze and while on my free time, I learn further than what I've been taught independently. I'm constantly thinking.

you could claim that. sadly though, it'd be disproved in any and all threads.

Remove all ratings and zero everyone's brofist counts. Their existence goes against core Codex principles, and turns the forum into Facebook for edgy millennials. If the inherent goodness of this change is not enough to sway DarkUnderlord's heart, then I'd also like to point out that it would maximize butthurt as well.

Should also remove Shoutbox for similar reasons.

I have been observing myself and others use ratings not in addition to but instead of posts to react to posts.

It's like that thing Blaine was talking about five years ago, and for five years before that prior to registering for the Codex.

It's far too late now. The cancer has fully metastasized and is inoperable. In order to acclimate yourself to the taste, smell, and feel of being surrounded by cancer on the Internet, I suggest you spend one hour per day viewing this image of a highly concentrated malignant tumor:

Remove everyone who doesn't write at least 10 posts a day.Also all lurkers should be ip banned.Or better yet just remove the codex!
It is a fucking forum!People come here to write some shit,have a laugh and unwind from the long day.Sometimes people have a reasonable discussion with people that they see as their peers,and sometime they just want throw shit at each other.How about instead of whining what people should and shouldn't do,we just have a good time after a long day?

I legit can't remember you making a post where you didn't jerk yourself off

Thank goodness for the Disagree rating. Without it, I might have been compelled to engage in conversation or respond with an actual rebuttal.

Thanks, social media!

Also remove everyone who doesn't put a space after punctuation marks.
That especially!

It's basically a game where you lose both ways.

If rating increase your prestige in a forum, then you have increased your prestige in a forum where a neo Nazi once asked a tranny to shit on his chest.

Aka nothing to be proud of.

If lots of negative ratings decrease your prestige in a forum, then you are looked down upon even by the people of a forum where a neo Nazi asked a tranny to shit on his chest.

Aka nothing to be proud of.
