Reasonable, and I apologize for addressing a point that you apparently weren't making. I regret to tell you I am not going to change, however. Any more than I would expect you to change in response to anyone else's bitching on this forum.

Rude.

Please point out any misspellings.

What? Facts aren't truthful now? Must be that "new math" everyone's talking about.

The only agenda I have is for people like you to stop being a burden on RPG Codex.

What does this even mean? Are you alright?

Post all you want. Just stop sitting there for twelve hours at a time rating literally thousands of posts. We're tired of it.

Well, you knew this was coming:

You seem upset.

Privelege Privilege.

Correct. The truth is always factual, but facts are never automatically truthful.

The rest isn't worth addressing.

No it does not Crispy ,get the fuck out of town. He posts every other week with the same message of FUCK RUSKIES, which is the only sensible message to send during this time. If he was posting it every day, sure. He doesn't. And he's correct.

I've had rating alerts off since the beginning (simply because I happen to dislike alerts popping up constantly, and people do rate me constantly), but his rate-spam still shits up the "ratings you received" page. Also, this is beside the point. People shouldn't have to turn off website features just to avoid being rate-spammed by some obnoxious asshole.
Bro, just chill and stop caring about ratings. You will feel much better.

Also tagging ignored person is pure faggotry, but what can I expect from gypsy commie like honkwhinebong?

I have already deleted most of my fuck USSRia!! posts because some people presented them in a form that makes them look like spam. Which they aren't, but I can make a concession because I am not a schizoid nutjob like you. So yes, I can change something in response to someone else's bitching, just not in response to "I have rate-spammed you for ages, I will continue to rate-spam you for several more ages, but if you start dancing to my tune and completely reverse your political stance, maybe I will eventually start rate-spamming you with different ratings, tee heee heeeee". Honestly, you need to get your fucking teeth kicked out of your mouth, cocksucker.

Now go fuck yourself, you disingenuous, autistic pile of horseshit.

I've been reading your posts off and on for the entire time I've been on the Codex, I know you're both smart and self-aware enough to realize that the argument you're making here is disingenuous. The bolded part has always been silly on the internet, and it didn't stop being silly now when you posted it.
:planetickets:

But why does he rate so much in the first place

Your following post makes me think you don't actually care, but just in case.

(1) The vast majority of the posts I read excite some emotion in me that I don't feel rises to the level of actually responding with a post. I use ratings as a quick non-response and move on. I do this for all posts I read (with very rare exceptions).
(2) Rating helps me control my urge to post more. "It is better to keep silent post little and be thought a fool, then to speak post too much and remove all doubts." -Taylor Swift, 2018

Have you considered not responding at all

You're literally the only person on the Codex that everyone knows what they're thinking, but has never posted a single post of relevance.

And it's pretty loud, actually, because you DO press every single button.

Now... I don't give a shit, but you're sniffing your own farts if you think that blowing a horn makes less noise than reading a full speech out loud.

I'm disappointed. I try very hard to post little of relevance, and do I get any respect around here?!

I'm sorry I didn't respond earlier, apparently I didn't get directly pinged until yesterday and I wasn't reading Codex for most of the day (Memorial Day time with family).

Okay, so I just took another look at Kalarion's recent history (I've had to do this before with him, and I've warned him before about ratings spam, but nothing was ever done about it).

Here's how it breaks down, at least as of yesterday:

- Kalarion rated a total of approximately 1,280 posts yesterday alone
- That amounts to about 80 pages worth of ratings when viewed (in his Recent History) in Chrome zoomed in at 110%
- These ratings -- again, this is just from yesterday alone -- took place from 8:54AM until 9:36PM my local time zone (which does not necessarily match Kalarion's local time zone, which I shall not be revealing)
- That averages to about 106 ratings per hour, or about 1.7 ratings per minute

If you want to see this incredible accomplishment for yourself, click here. To see the entire list, you're going to have to click "Show older items" a bunch of times.

Now, since Kalarion is, to be fair, mixing up his ratings between "positive" and "negative" ones, at least on that front, he's not breaking any rules here.

However, we do have rules against spamming, and I think by burdening the server with nothing but spastic (and habitual) ratings over a period of over twelve straight hours that might count as a new and highly bizarre form of spamming.

Thus, while I believe neither Infinitron nor even DarkUnderlord himself have objected to nor chosen to do anything about Kalarion's particular brand of autism (and, again, burden on the server in my opinion), Taluntain may not be aware of it and may sustain an objection to it and put a stop to it.

I recommend probation for Kalarion's ratings privileges. It shouldn't be taken away from him permanently, as that may result in suicide or worse, but it shouldn't be allowed to continue unchecked.

Would have rated this Math! Except Crispy doesn't know how to spell (no surprise). It's factual but not very truthful, as usual for people with an agenda. I think the idea that the thread is warping my normal rating habits has some merit, though. I was actually planning to post again now that I've hit Apr 1st in my reading.

Bolded portion = Crispy is dogshit on the Codex's shoes example no. 2,058,128,539

It fills the "Rating you received" page with endless kalarion garbage, diluting its purpose (seeing ppl's reactions to your posts). There are pages upon pages of kalarionspam with some legitimate ratings from other ppl mixed in occasionally, making the page almost worthless.

Remove Kalarion's rating privileges, temporarily at least. He's obviously just going through the USSRia megathread and mindlessly pressing a certain button for every one of a given poster's posts (e.g. all my posts rated participation award, all maxie posts are tl;dr, etc).

This isn't quite true. I semi-addressed this in your profile post. There are three problems here, as I see it- (1) you post a lot (and I do mean a lot) in the UA/RU war thread, all the same thing (variations on "fuck russia"), which was the origin of my rating with Participation Trophy, (2) I rate as I read and I figured out very early on you don't post anything else, with extraordinarily rare exceptions, and (3) even if you did change your posting habits in the thread right this instant (I don't think you will, but just for the sake of argument), I'm reading the whole thing and over 1,000 pages behind, so my ratings won't change anytime soon. In fairness I don't rate you like that anywhere else, and I'm perfectly happy to change my habit once I see some actual quality in your posts there. You can see very rare demonstrations of that in the thread, where maybe once in every hundred of your posts you receive a different rating.

As to Maxie, I really don't read anything he posts (ever, anywhere) once I connect the post to the username, and he already knows why if he's been paying attention. He's a fucking glowie-tier snitch, which I consider to be the closest thing there is to an unforgivable sin on the Codex after the incident with Mynon and JarlFrank (which, curiously, Crispy was involved in; hmmmmm).
please don't pester me if you don't even read my posts thank you

If you want to talk about one button spammers, then talk about people like Rico66.
HeroMarine rates all my posts shit, even ones that are just someone asking for a link and me posting the link. He even rates my posts in threads he doesn't post in, just follows me there, rates shit, and exits the thread.
I hate that I have to put him on ignore, I wish I could see all posts, but the rating spam is making my alert box unusable. If you want to talk about one button spammers, talk about him.

I just looked at his recent activity and he rated well over 300 posts today alone, also over a span of about twelve hours (coincidence?) with only what appears to have been a couple of hour or two-hour-long breaks in-between sessions.

HeroMarine, what is wrong with you?

No, really,

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?

That reminds me, another ukrainian town got destroyed recently so it's time to go to the war thread and ask again if dat western support arrived already. Any day now I'm told

It's factual but not very truthful

What? Facts aren't truthful now? Must be that "new math" everyone's talking about.
It's like saying blacks are murdered more often but not mentioning it's by other blacks because you want the audience to think they are being lynched by white supremacists

Look at my ratings and you'll see that I rate posts according to my opinion. Whydoibulgar has never made a good post in his life, and by rating his posts shit I'm informing future readers to not waste their time with him. He should have a shitposter tag but unfortunately moderation is wasting time collecting Funko Pops instead.

Liberal is actually being reasonable.

I rest my case.
