I guess it could work if we made it like Facebook, with a "Like" button and a "Hate" button.

 

Cats as a "props"
***** for gargle a bag of dicks

 

we want to hate hate hate

lulz

 

<p>I suppose Joe has a point. They could add a thanks button. Then, it's just like facebook! You hit &quot;thanks&quot; for something you like, and report the post if someone is a dipshit. Easy peasy. I think the mods would appreciate a more direct form of informing them of undesireables.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

 

OK, now I think I've solved it. See to left.

 

That poor poor cat

 

y8s idea of eggplants and cats for ratings is gold.

 

At the risk of creating yet another inside-joke that newbs don't get, here are the "like" and "hate" icons:

 

Confusion and inside jokes to both support and berate new people?

 

<p>I was here so long before I understood the eggplant reference...</p>

 

I created eggplant. +1 vote for cats and eggplants. Cats hate eggplant.

 

and

 

<p>I don't think report is the way to go. A lot of posts deserve negative props, but don't necessarily break any rules.</p>

 

Ok Joe, + for you.

 

I give you a cat for this post.

 

Joe's in the lead! Two cats already.

 

Well, the cat looks like a cat but the other thing looks like a curved purple ***** with blood running down the side. So... perfect!

 

"Thanks" without some form of negative is facebook crap. No way to tell people to knock off the asshattery. It's a very important part of this forum, because it tells you who to take advice from, and who to take with a grain of salt, and who is just full of ****.

And, quite frankly it's a way to give recognition to a particularly good post, whether it is because of humor, good info or just a well made statement. It adds to the sense of community.

 

 

<p>Before this ever happened, I was considering making the statement, &quot;I live for props&quot;, but it seemed silly. But, truth is, I like the whole prop thing.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>+1 to <span>@rleete post 78. I'd give a prop for that.&nbsp;</span></p>
