View Full Version : How about an anti-thanks/STFU button?

So you know how you see a good, funny, sarcastic post, something which is either intelligent or funny and you click thanks to show your appreciation for it, why is there not a "Fuck off" button?
I always see really dumbass posts and wish I could let my discontent be known without actually having to post.
It'd be efficient and cool, you could compare the STFU's to the thanks and see if they're a good poster or not.
Thanks doesn't get abused "too" much, so I don't see why this would either.

seconded, although it's never going to happen. There would be "fuck off" gangbangs in the streets.

This has got to be the most suggested and most rejected idea ever.
It has been said by the admins a million times that an "anti thanks" button isn't wanted.
End of fucking story. And I suggest you use the god damn search feature for once in your life.

it's costs me nothing to leave it open for a day or two and see if anyone has come up with a compelling new logic for implementation. I don't think fish was in charge alst time it was shot down.

Why not just quote them and tell them to STFU? It's more personal that way.

I support this idea, just so i can harvest Shut The Fuck Ups. I bet i can be the most ShutTheFuckUp'd poster on zoklet in a single day. That would actually give me incentive to be an asshole and a gauge for how successful my trolling is.

I like it. It's like if ebay only had positive comments, everyone would look like an angel, but that isn't the case. It would give you a quick idea of how shitty a poster is.

I'd say the opposite is true for me. I do good things to people I don't know, or might not deserve it, all the time, but I don't fuck over or criticize people that don't deserve it.

It might encourage better posting, cos people aren't guna want negative feed back, so they'll less likely post shit.
Saying that though, the post which brought this idea to mind was a serious post, it was just phenomenally retarded.

Problem is half these asswipes that post "It's not worth the fucking money/do real drugs/yourtopicisstupidbye" posts actually think they are contributing. Over half of "Fuck Spacebars" shit would get STFU spammed just cause how fucking retard his posts are, yet prolly wouldn't deserve it as they are usually actual legit questions no matter how dumb.
I don't think it is a bad idea. Why have a like with out a dislike?

A "thanks" button is much more prudent than an "anti-thanks" button. People easily say that they hate something, but are much more reserved about what they like.
Hate is spammable. Love is selective.

Wouldn't happen to have been one of Ryan1711's posts, would it?
Could have been.
But perhaps limit it to only one STFU to one person per day, that way just cos you think someone is a cunt you can't go around spamming every post of theirs with STFU. Like you can give out multiple STFUs a day, but only one to one person, if you get me.

11-17-2010, 04:08 PM
I think a STFU button would be cool, they would just have to restrict it more than thanks. Like you can only have one STFU every five days or something to keep people from spamming the fuck out of them.

Idc, my other thread was suggested before too.

And that middle one is hardly relevant, that's for a lol button.

i didn't reject it, like i said you've got my vote.
my point is, abused, not abused, it doesn't matter. The system is meaningless on every level. (hence my random thanks gangbang up the thread)
but it's not going to happen. the ideas been ruthlessly shot down every two months since..forever.
never hurts to ask after a regime change though, maybe fish will surprise us.

Because despite the fact there has been ZERO admin involvement, we had to defer to the mods. After re-reading the thread you'll clearly see the mod's opinions were split right down the middle....2-2.
All of THAT is completely irrelevant though, as Zos has taken it upon himself to believe his OPINION is more important than everyone else's so the the other 3 mods that did provide input were completely ignored....thusly you have a rejected idea all because one worthless loser needs to power trip with their mod perks. :(
TL/DR: Zoklet just being the usual satirical farce, what ELSE did you expect??? :eek:

Atleast upgrade the 'thanks' system to a reputation system where you can post why you feel its negative or whatever.
