Life hasn't been the same ever since they took down geocities.
You making Darth Roxor run on the wheel again?Buttons are gone again? I did notice the forum was loading 0.01 seconds faster. This bad boy *slaps tower, causing a small rodent inside to yelp* needs all the help it can get.
53 brofists total so far. Keep up the good work all! Then the button reinfestation can commence!If Nano completes his task within 7 days, I shall return buttons.
If Nano fails to complete his task within the next 7 days, the buttons demand a sacrifice. If Nano fails his quest, and this post receives 150 brofists within the next 7 days, I will ban Nano and return buttons.
Which will happen first? Will Nano save the buttons and himself, will the Codex demand Nano be sacrificed, or will buttons begone forever?
Stay tuned to this exciting thread for further developments.
I probably won't quit entirely. As I said in my first post (hours ago), I'll probably get back into the mood someday. But right now, the thought that the cretins over there will get use out of my sweat and hard work just nauseates me. I'll probably keep doing it for you guys eventually (and thanks for the support) but it's going to be a while before I can enjoy anything to do with this. The assholes have pretty much destroyed my desire to work my ass off so that they can use my work while heaping abuse over trivial bullshit. I probably won't quit entirely.

What happened, hello friend? This reads like somebody hacked your account.
COOL STORY BROShould've realized this place has no redeeming quality months ago. Even the lack of moderation that means you -could- get really good blowout heated arguments over interesting shit is wasted, cause you're all too busy proving how cool you are by not caring about anything - except, of course, the desperate desire that everyone think you're cool for not caring about anything. I noted that as the common defining characteristic of the typical Codexer in my last big argument on this board, actually... should've left then.Only 90s kids will remember this
Because you're cunts. Cunts who I don't -want- to give any pleasure in life. Cunts who live to aggravate me after I've spent a fucking year fixing bugs in their favorite game.hello friend,
Not all are like that

Honestly though... isn't there any nutjob with money on this site to find out where DU lives and just see if he can get fucked for trying to coerce someone to do something irl? I bet that files under some kind of cyberbullying law somewhere...
awh, but who fucking cares...
here's a picture of Annah
I have a feeling that 90% of button hatred is just butthurt over negative ratings and 10% is people on potatoes, worried about performance.
/* curb the worst excesses of the ratings */
ul.dark_postrating_inputlist[style*="opacity: 0;"] {
visibility: hidden;
}
I only truly appreciate the brofist.... but there needs to be something to show someone your utter disappointment and disgust...
Maybe an: Aidsfist?
I notice no difference and I suggest you spend more on either internet, your potato or both.It does cause bad performance, namely due to the fact that there are a large amount of animated buttons, and constantly updating them (even if they're completely invisible), kind of adds up..
eh? why not just make a block rule for ul.dark_postrating_inputlist? It would do about the same as your script, since all your script does is change the visibility. You could even block the icons individually so they don't load.There is a workaround that involves injecting this bit of CSS into the page to properly hide the ones that can't be seen, via Stylus or some other browser extension.

Goodbye hello friend.
I'd like to apologize for the drama of a couple of days ago. I've got a latin temper when confronted with fools, and in that situation, it was idiot overload.What happened, hello friend? This reads like somebody hacked your account. Yeah, there are some cretins on the Codex, but also some worthwhile people from around the world.
Ideally it should be the Brofist and Nuke It From Orbit IMO.We had that dual rating system once before... except the two were parrot and agenda
Again, you can hide it with adblock. No excuse.I don't think I would mind them much if they weren't so overused
You're just butthurt when people rate your posts negatively. Admit it.
If someone already made the argument I can read it myself, and respond if I disagree. Posting :retadred: isn't an argument, and enables retards to have a say without adding new arguments and putting themselves on the line.If someone already made the argument, I don't need to restate it myself. If what I want to say can be expressed with a button, it doesn't necessarily need a post.
They negatively affect posting by enabling button-whoring and by giving positive/negative feedback to posters they don't actually engage with real reasons and arguments.What did lurkers ever do to you? They just want to read posts. Why are you upset over people who don't even do anything? Do you think they don't deserve to be on the Codex unless they ‘contribute’?
The main problem with negative buttons is that it gives assholes and butthurt children a means to harass those they deem to have somehow slighted them. Since I have been here, I have noted at least 6 campaigns by several posters against people they don't like. Lambchop or Lady Error or both were the victims of such a campaign, which only stopped when the mods "negotiated" with the prick involved and gave them their Literal Hitler title in return for the asshole stopping his campaign. Atlantico has at least two posters in his sights that he down votes religiously, actually surfing threads for posts he can down vote, regardless of what was being said.Again, you can hide it with adblock.

The problem isn't that some people can hide buttons, it's the changes it makes to posting habits and who the site attracts. It's that the codex is less a discussion board and more some kind of social media analogue.
People are less posting to talk about shit with mates but instead trying to make every post maximise ratings. It's obvious.
Buttons have added some kind of social feedback mechanism to the site where, to varying extents, everyone is less focused on discussion and are instead trying to get more ratings to appease their fucking monkey id.
I am not sure which should remain, but I know those that should not remain: retarded (the harasser's favourite), shit (another favourite), racist (used by the prick in the Lady Error/Lambchop campaign, hence their title), autism (a favourite of a mod)Yeah, that abuse of negative buttons is probably the reason why other forums removed it as well. Likewise in here when only brofists exist.
One problem with only positive ratings though is: let's say someone posts shit, then another responds to him and puts a huge shit-picture into his post -> as a consequence everyone brofists him. So it causes indirect attention whore brofist harvesting. Despite it's less prone to abuse.
So yeah, there should be something for disagreement, but which buttons should remain?... brofist, disagree, funny, sad/despair, shocked/wtf? A handful would be enough probably.
Proper would be abused to hell instantly. When we have harassers rating every post of a poster racist, regardless of what was being said (it could be "the sky is blue" and the racist tag will be slammed on it), then the only way to prevent such abuse is to remove the rating itself.Said it in shoutbox, I would be in favor of a more limited button parade of Brofists, yes/no (nice because of all the yes/no questions), citation needed (for screenshot thread alone), and prosper (great for both autistic and horrific content, also is fun to call people out for like potato faced monstrosities in the women you find attractive thread). Balanced is fun as well but I could live without it.
