Example Of A Proper Red/Green Feature

[Jingthing]

Check out the COMMENTS section on this amusing website --

Notice the thumbs up/thumbs down Praise Greens/Condemns Reds in the comments section?

At the comment POSTS only.

Not tied permanently in any way to the commenter. No tallying to the commenter on the commenter's profile page, IF they had one. No specious LABELING of the commenter, good, bad, or indifferent. Only a live show of the feedback for the SPECIFIC COMMENT.

Cool, huh?

You pissed and moaned long enough and hard enough to get the Reputation facility removed. You're not now trying to get something similar but different reinstated? Hypocrite.

It's not the same feature. Name caller.

I missed the feature you mentioned on that site because I was distracted by the racist, conspiracy theory-type bigotry of the post! <deleted> is that site about? That has to be the second biggest waste of my online time ever!

My feeling is that the site is SATIRE of how ridiculous right wing Christian American fundamentalists are. Chilean Mexicans, indeed. At least it reads that way. Bottom of the page -- the comments with the POST ONLY voting feature.

Hmm, it would be slightly more comforting to see it as satire I suppose. However, I'm not convinced. Aaaanyway, I see what you're talking about but wouldn't the same people who were just handing out reds on here just hand out 'condemn' votes for the sake of it too? I know, I know it's not the poster but the post but I saw the rep feature the same way really, post not the poster.

All in all not much different really apart from the fact that it, presumably, doesn't show up on your profile as some kind of total.

I must admit to feeling not all that bothered if the feature doesn't come back at all in any form

Me either, but you've got to admit that's a "funny" site and also if some kind approval/disapproval feature does come back, I think this is better to keep the peace.

It was fine before.

If I would change anything, it would be a feature that would not allow the loons to keep giving reds to the same person - maybe each poster allowed to bestow 4 a week on the same recipient?

I'ts just as stupid as the reputation button or Facebook's "Like" feature.

Judging by the content of the example and the loonies who inhabit such sites let's just post our views here and forget about marking each others papers.

We're all a bunch of cheats anyway.......

I like to think of it as a comparison between Carlsberg Green cans and McEwand Export Red cans. Aluminy versus irony - multimationalism versus imperialism, Export versus Export...

I understand where you're coming from but I just don't find people like that funny at all, one of my friends likes those radio phone in shows where the jocks will say something 'controversial' to get people to phone in. He rolls about laughing whereas I want to smash the radio

Stupidity annoys me, I wish it didn't but there it is

I think some kind of approval/disagreement feature would be good, I kinda liked the old one but seeing as it was abused/disliked by so many I don't have a fervent desire for its return. It was nice to see who agreed/disagreed with my posts, it encouraged me to read theirs when I perhaps otherwise wouldn't have.
