André Toulon Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hi IBers, this is Buddyroe360. I come to you today, not as a troll but as an ambassador of the Dumpster Fire folder. I will get straight to the point. You don't like us bickering and tossing cheap shots in your folder no more than we like browsing through inside jokes from 2003, so I have a plan and a request. Please, if you see babblers taking a bat to any user, please report it and have it moved to DF (Dumpster Fires). I do realize a lot of our content does wind up here and our denizens have populated here to deter from your influx of butt jokes.....For that, I apologize. In return, I only ask that you help me with my campaign to have downvotes implemented in DF so we can contain our riffraff. I don't want anything to spill out so if you have all spamming, offensive, or moronic posts sent there, I promise we will do our best to contain such nonsense from...Well, your nonsense. I ask that please you help me drive the noise from your collective safe space and let us do what we do best. Working together, we can make a change....A change for the better.....No more asinine 10 page threads about mundane shit like cigarette smoke, and fake homeless websites. Please ask that our content be removed.....Just help me in my crusade for downvoting ONLY in the DF folder. I thank you for your consideration.

crackymckrackin Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) I already dislike upvoting and leaderboards. Nothing in my mind warrants down voting. I also don't mind the bickering. I think this folder needs both the fart joke posts and the occasional something serious, even if you guy's troll the target mercilessly.

André Toulon Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 To sweeten the deal, I would like to point out that every Zeni thread you get sentenced to DF then becomes a chance for you to DV Zeni without sullying your folder.....There are many wins for all if only you listen to my proposal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poof Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) ive never really been about all the bells and whistles like kudos, downvotes, post count, ranks, etc. i made a thread about winning the day once but i dont really take it seriously. unless the downvotes have an effect which is a liability for exploit, whoever you want to downvote into oblivion will just develop a dv fetish and use the downvotes as a measure of how pissed off they made everybody and it will just help their e-peen grow.

Distortedreasoning Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 we saw how bad DV turned out the last time. i will admit i used it way more than i ever did UV. but the people really hate it. i know you want it contained to just in DF but i saw what happened to mochi in the thread with the smart car and you pretty much dragged him into DF. i dont want to see that be the norm here were we drag people down to DF.

MEXobiologist Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Let me ask this. If there is no result from downvoting, no consequence, what's really the point of having the ability to do so? Even if just in DF. Personally, I don't care whether or not DF would ever get a downvote button because to me, its just another option on the smiley list if there are no consequences. I guess I just don't see where the hubbub about getting this implimented is. Also, i like all of the nonsense just sort of smashed together. Even if they occasionally need to be dumped. I LIKE pod6 riffraff here and there. It's not always as big a deal as people want to make it seem (like you are now or the random few that may be a tad too sensitive for their own good in life...) and that's why not everything ends up in the fire. No entirely safe space is any kind of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, then, to answer your initial question: the denizens of UEMB have shown a proclivity for being triggered easily and often, more so than in previous boards. Downvotes, even meaningless ones, would most certainly offer an improvement over the current method of voicing extreme displeasure with someone's existence.

So you believe that if downvotes were available, that people will lay off a little more in those instances? I'm inclined to believe that wouldn't happen. Not by any noticeable measure. More like... it would merely be an exclamation point if anything. Again tho, the whole downvotes in DF means very little to me either way... because it's already DF. It just seems pointless to argue for. But I guess, people want what they want regardless. Meh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still Me Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I find it offputting that to provide any justifiable proof, on if it should or shouldn’t be allowed, the responses are trollish. Not to mention past history with said down votes REGARDLESS of their thread location were just another way people abused the system. Say if this were to happen, when a thread is therein moved to dumpster fires it makes the original posts fair game. So people who initially did not want anything to do with the threads outcome are now fair game to be trolled and downvoted out of sheer spite. we've already proven we are incapable of handling that sort of mechanic. and the attitude given to those who object to the idea is uncalled for. It’s almost like when viper made a new forum saying it would be better and everyone wanted to go. Only to then throw a massive tantrum in this group making people not bother with him at all. Kinda defeats the purpose don’t you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nameraka Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 i will back the downvote provided it stays confined to df. it seems... appropriate there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doom Metal Alchemist Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 If DVs get set up in DF, I'm ok with that, but I'd rather have it occur organically, I don't want to change my posting/viewing habits to make it happen, mainly because I don't really care either way. But poof was right in that users (at least some of them) will develop an e-peen by getting dv'd into oblivion. The most obvious of these is Zeni. I can't fucking believe people here still give him attention. Literally all he wants is to get shat on. Fucking ignore him. And if dv's get instated anywhere on the board, contributing to his negative rep will be another thing he wants. Also DVs on nodebb led to far more whining from people with thin skin than I've seen whining here. Furthermore, I'm in agreement with Mexo that more extreme separation of DF and FFA would be a bad thing. The current separation we have now works for me. I'm also in agreement with the person who said (I can't remember who) that people who make ok threads in FFA but the threads get moved to DF because of some asshattery due to others in the thread would get punished unfairly. Someone might start off in an innocuous thread in FFA that gets moved to DF because of others asshattery, but still want to contribute to the non-asshattery of the topic now in DF, especially the OP. The poster of a thread shouldn't feel obligated to abandon their thread because some other asshat got it moved to DF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
