Well those can be added as smileys.It's a damn shame if only for the TRUMP buttons, those are glorious.

Having buttons did reduce the tension of posting on the Codex with the threat of lowering my brofist ratio always looming over me.
That’s called peer pressure, and it ensures that people will think twice before they post stupid things.
No, it means that posters will gravitate towards posting things that they think other people will like, as opposed to being an unrepentant fuckwit with genuine opinions.
I don't really care when people rate my posts shit, so your logic falters there.
That's called slavery. What's the use of free speech if you are too afraid to use it?
You're an idiot.That button system of yours was a perfect way to damage this community's already low quality of discourse, in that people didn't feel obliged to answer or challenge posts they disagreed with. They could just add scathing rating to them. And if someone knew that he was only going to be burred in such rating if he wrote something that contrasted the consensus in any given thread, he would just refrain from writing anything.
Jesus Christ, the buttons are actually winning this one.
They aren't. They are indistinguishable and they all look like the same rancid butter stain. Which is quite honestly fitting the theme tho.It's a damn shame if only for the TRUMP buttons, those are glorious.[
No. Instead of silently disagreeing and leaving it at that, I can rate "I disagree" and leave it at that, but at least the questionable post won't look like it's representative of everyone's opinion.Instead of posting and explaining why you disagree with someone you can just rate "I disagree", and leave at that.
What is this, did you not get drawn enough times for debates in English class at school?You have less quality content,
Their problem. Not mine, not yours. If there's a lot of "shit" tags on posts because of personal grudges, why do I care about it? Why do you? Nobody gives a fuck.You are not representive. 7 out of 10 posters will behave like this.
How so?this systen encourages passive agressive behavior and lazyness. Instead of posting and explaining why you disagree with someone you can just rate "I disagree", and leave at that. You have less quality content, and more passive agressive behavior, not less.
why do I care about it? Why do you? Nobody gives a fuck.
People don't just rate things instead of answering. When they wouldn't have said anything anyways, they button and forget. But if they have something to say you can be sure they button and reply.
Threads are as long as ever, and arguments and insults continue to flow. Only with buttons people get a bit more involved into what's being said.
Also, the discourse doesn't become lower quality because buttons are used. Quality might even be better, because you can use a button instead of shitposting.
Most people who give negative ratings and don't reply would've instead shitposted if there was no other way to express their disagreement.
I like my environment friendly for my needs. It's got nothing to do with the content and whether I care about this or that thread in this or that subforum.is not at all compatible with your activity in this thread.
I am sure when people first played their quest compass games they said to themselves "If the quest is stupid and meaningless I can finish it faster by following the compass but when I find a good and quality quest I can ignore the quest compass and find it myself" ... 1 day later.. quest compass.. drroool.. must follow it...No. Instead of silently disagreeing and leaving it at that, I can rate "I disagree" and leave it at that, but at least the questionable post won't look like it's representative of everyone's opinion.Instead of posting and explaining why you disagree with someone you can just rate "I disagree", and leave at that.
If I care enough to write something, the buttons won't deter me from doing it.
You're probably one of the most aggressive posters on the codex and you're complaining about people being passive aggressive?You must be living in the fucking moon if you didn't notice how stupid it is to have posters shoving the passive agressive bulshit on your face when all you want is to discuss cRPGs.
You think retards who are butthurt and engage in passive-aggressive behavior will suddenly stop doing so if we removed buttons? Please, those who use the buttons to abuse also use their words to do so. The problem is not with the buttons, but with the users.
