ya know the ole props system, 

 

has anyone ever talked about, suggested, having a thumbs up / thumbs down kinda thing for replies / posts.

if it was brought up, what was the general view on it ?

​We used to have it but for some reason dUSt got rid of it. Maybe people were just being mean. Some people even went into negative numbers!

@dUSt, sorry, I have one tiny complaint/request. I have noticed from a while back now that the return button creates a fairly large space between paragraphs. Personally I prefer it where the space is the same size as any other line break. Looks choppy when paragraph breaks are so large. And for people who prefer a large paragraph break, all they need to do is press return twice.

Is it possible to set it so that the space between paragraphs is a bit smaller?

Negative votes on this site are a bad idea.

​A very, very bad idea. If I remember correctly, there were a few users who used their props for the day to systematically give negative props to people they disliked. It wasn't a system of "thumbs up, thumbs down." A negative prop would reduce a user's total prop balance. And, negative props were anonymous, so people who systematically did this did not have to explain their actions to others.

The current prop system emphasizes the positive. If a person disagrees with a post, they can make a post that talks about why they disagree.

​OK, I made it positive and negative again.

​Would it be possible to reconsider this, based on what happened in the past? (That was really a tough time when that was going on.) Will a "thumbs down" reduce a person's reputation votes? Also, will we be able to see (as we can now) which users prop posts (whether negatively or positively)? Will we get a notification (as we do now with positive props) if a person negatively props our post?

Hey, wait a minute... Where'd the Transparent Mediator of Meh Lodge go? That was the funniest phorum in the whole Mass of Phat.

Are we abandoning transparency here?

​It was deleted. Wasn't being used.
