originally btw there were no reaction emojis on dissensus, then a few years ago on the old software we added the "Ta" thumbs up, and then when we moved to this new software last year we got 5 emojis

I think we could reduce them, change them of turn them off entirely, but i dunno if we'd lose all our past reactions if we disabled them - i'm not sure we could get them back if we swiched them on again. Of course we lot all the preovious likes when we changed the software

I'm in favour of getting rid, personally, and also happy to rock the boat by posting contentious polls to wind everyone up

more broadly, @shiels' list of improvements suggests that this place could embrace change, that is a werd and alien concept but not necessarily wrong - anyone else fancy any of those tweaks (make a poll, drop some smileys)

My advice for sufi to save forum:
  1. Disable reactions
  2. Put a lower limit on posts to at least 50 words
  3. Ban GIFs
  4. Ban links without comment
  5. Limit thirdform to one post a week
  6. Ban shiels after 8pm
  7. Impose an elimination poll / popularity contest where we vote off the worst poster for the next month

links without comment should be unacceptable, popular opprobrium should be heaped upon whoever dares in huge stinking piles
especially links to the effing guradian ( :love: @version)

and no paragraph length mystery quotations without attribution, suggesting that the poster, whoever he may be @version, has located a gleaming nugget of truth from sources unavailable to mere mortals, this really does my head in

A lot of new Dude blood is advancing change. The reactions can go. A link should at least have a caveat but that’s a weak chain to more unbridled links

i dunno man, just had a wicked kip, feel brand new which is like putting an omicron beacon over the gaff

i dunno i quite like trying to guess which of luke's posts are C&Ped unattributed from elsewhere. there's always goofle to look up the source if needed but 🤷‍♂️
but i'm sure we dont need "rules" just some proper considerate etiquettes :oops:

i am v concerned that woops and i are gonna fall out badly due to this ludicrous "democratic" fiasco tho :(

Is dissensus in need of a fix? i’m fine with things as is, generally against any rules in what is posted, and how it must appear in order to be deemed acceptable to a few self-appointed arbiters of that-which-is-good.

let things be free.

I used to hate them, but then when I realised that with only a minimum of effort by me it could provide objective proof that I am the third most popular man on Dissensus, I was for it. Mind you, the amount of effort that the two most popular put in, I wonder if I am in fact the real winner.

yeah let’s open the code right up so we can each have our own skin and font for every comment and I can have little teardrops trickling down every post I make maybe a tricolor rippling in the wind beside my name

Let’s assemble a board of censors— can call it the Supreme Council of Dissensus Authoritarians, or something — who must review and approve any content before it can be posted. That way we’ll be sure all posts meet all the rigid new standards of style and content that are critical to the well being of the message board.

This is a fantastic idea!

Linebaugh's ratio is nuts. 80% true shooting. Hard to believe. 4500 reactions of 5500 comments. Unbelievable numbers. KD-like efficiency. We've never seen numbers like this before.

Get rid of everything except a 'dislike' reaction.

Or:

There are two options, both of which mean "haha!", but distinguished by meaning "laughing with you" and "laughing at you".
