Ever since ratings arrived you barely see funny reaction images / gifs anymore which sucks
This is what I was warning about from the beginning. My posts are in "We need more buttons". You are absolutely right.I have been observing myself and others use ratings not in addition to but instead of posts to react to posts.
I feel this behavior intensifies with time and it's affecting the practice element of posting.
Ratings encourage laziness of thought and/or formulating coherent answers.
While one liners and shitposts and memes and getting side tracked or even having a thread completely derailed may be annoying in some cases to some people, it's definitely preferable to the direction things are currently heading: lowest effort interaction.
Given the high levels of obsession, passion and just plain intelligence on the codex, the issue is not yet very visible but in time we may some day come to realize we've not just become older but stupider.
In my youth I was lucky enough to be taught english by my TV before dubbing became a thing in my country, much like all other romanians my age who could at that time afford a TV and cable. Then dubbing happened. Then localization of internet sites and games. The convenience of not having to learn a language to understand what's happening on TV, on your computer or on your phone led to all subsequent generations of kids having to struggle with english in schools.
Im worried future generations of codexers may not be able to actually post, only react to to infinitron's shilling by pushing the rating buttons.
I think some people might be pissed it their special donations-bought-ratings get revoked. but if the codex is still willing to offer the traditional codex experience with butthurt inducing design decisions, it's not too late yet to get rid of this cancer.
Please don't rate this post, you retards!

then stop doing it. tablets are killing PCs.It is very shit to browse The Codex on a phone/tablet, mainly because of the rating icons.

The prison bar is just a nice texture. It does not have the impact of that stupid smiley face.Marking the whole post with prison bars or something else equally annoying is far more effective than tags of course.
Is he dead or something?I miss him dearly,his shit posting was second to non!Did hi get banned?When I saw the title of this thread I was sure it was made by Mynon, looks like a thread he'd make
There are tags for people who make retarded posts. I'd like it if there was a script that adds a "possibly retarded" tag automatically if you reach a certain ratio between posts and retarded ratings. That would make ratings at least marginally useful. It would discourage some people from writing at least some part of their retarded posts. Marking the whole post with prison bars or something else equally annoying is far more effective than tags of course.

Ratings should be removed. People rate each other for stupid reasons as it is.Just realized Ninja Destroyer has the "I Was With Her" and "I want to make America great again" tags.

"fabulously optimistic"
4 real tho, it would actually just encourage people to rate their political opponents retarded as often as possible in hopes of tagging them, people have left forever (and "forever") after being tagged.
like honestly seeing some retard respond with a dumb gif and get a million brofists used to tilt me so fucking hard
