Button: What the fuck does this even mean?
Goldfist: What about this one?
Dislike: Already covered by "Disagree" and "Shit".
FAKE NEWS: Take your Trump memes elsewhere.
TL;DR: Pointless crap. "Informative" already covers it, as it could be understood as sarcasm.
No: Again, pointless. Covered by "Disagree" and "Shit", or "Decline".
Participation Award: More pointless garbage.
When words are not enough: Does "What the fuck am I reading?" ring any bells?
Useful: More pointless garbage.
everything is pointless and yet here we are

I like all buttons but I don't have trump buttons so I wont be sad to see them gone. Only one exception is "build the wall". Trump buttons also look visually similar (they are basically just a yellow blob) so when those are used I have a hard telling what they mean without the text.

Looks like all the latest additions are the ones that will go. And Button. Will we get to know what it meant before it's gone?

What button could be renamed, some trump hair added to it, with the "You have to go back." text?

Build the wall is not quite the same as "You have to go back."

I used it for obvious fishing. As in, pushing the Codex's buttons.

Speaking of, I would make use of :triggered: and :bait:. Although TBF :butthurt: is pretty close to :triggered:...

It's easier to decide which should be eliminated:

Personally, I liked creative, but it seems hardly ever used and should go.

The agree/disagree/meh buttons are bland, milquetoast responses that have no right to be alongside snappier buttons.

tl;dr is only appropriate for truly long-winded posts, and is abused as a reply to medium-length posts more often than being properly used.

Interesting is too similar to informative, and is therefore superfluous.

were never needed in the first place.

This would probably be sufficient to reduce the number of buttons to a manageable amount, without needing to endure tougher losses.

I find the butthurt button more often registers the pressee's butthurt rather than the poster's. :philosoraptor:

Rename the button button

to "triggered" / "pushing my buttons", then it would have a reason to exist, maybe.

Also rename the Negative button
rating_negativeman.png
to "Despair" or something simiilar, fits more with the use, which is for the rater to express his own emotions (much like the Rage rating
rating_rage.gif
), in this case hopelessness, or shared pain with the poster, not to rate negatively the post itself.

But how come your not-for-plebs ratings aren't even displayed for me after you rate me with them? Is that intended?

Edit: Oh. I live in a brofist only world now. Well played. :negative:

Edit2: Actually no. I can rate and see those ratings, but only others' brofists. This is weird.

I believe it's an issue re the cache.

fakenews, you were glorious while you lasted. :salute:

If I'm not mistaken, leaving aside from interesting which was consolidated into informative, out of all removed buttons the one with the most votes is
aliens.png
, which I found rather amusing...pity. :M

On the plus side, we've kept every other button I wanted to keep, and eliminated almost every button I wanted to eliminate. +M
