How do you use the post ratings? - I know how to use them, this is a Voight-Kampff test. edit: GOD DAMNIT

[Smaug's Smokey Hole]

What's your rationale for giving a post a certain rating? What separates "horrifying" from "islamic content" in your mind besides the obvious? What "Informative" is used for is self-explanatory, except for when it isn't. Same with "disagree" and all the others.

Scenario: A photo of an ill-thought-out and horrifying human centipede merry-go-round at playground is posted in the cursed images thread, you press Like. Why?

edit: rate me the worst, go nuts

 

[Marco Fucko]

>not rating posts sarcastically

 

[Absolute Brainlet]

Post ratings? Those are a thing?

 

[Papa Adolfo's Take'n'Bake]

I use them completely arbitrarily because they are really not important.

 

[Idonttrustlikethat]

Allahu akbar allahu akbar! ALLAHU AKBAR

 

[SigSauer]

Just tap the like button and hold on it until you see the options, assuming you're using mobile.

 

[Tim Buckley]

I rate everyone I have a strong sexual attraction to as dumb.

Fucking nigger im gunna cum all over your face.

 

[The Last Stand]

Shower me with random ratings.

 

[Silver Chariot]

I use the ratings how I feel like using the ratings.

 

[DumbDude42]

agree, disagree, like, dislike are fairly self-explanatory

winner = funny post, made me laugh
dumb = retard post, made me cringe
islamic = yikes
horrifying = kill it with fire
tmi = dude shut up, for your own sake
late = repost
mati = lol calm down
thunk = really gets the noggin joggin'

 

[SSF2T Old User]

Like = If I like a post/think it's funny
Dislike = Opposite of Like
Agree = If I share the same opinion as the poster
Disagree = Opposite of Agree
Winner = Better than a like. Basically if it's really hilarious and/or is on point depending on the topic.
Informative = If it's a post that has interesting information that I never knew about
Thunk-Provoking = If a post makes me think "hhmm.... thats a good point" or "yea, that's a good question". Sometimes i use it ironically for a post that asks a rhetorical question.
Feels = If a post makes me go "aaawww"
Late = If it's a post that states something that was already mentioned a few posts/pages back on the thread topic.
Lunacy/Horrifying = I mostly use these in A&H if it's an article relating to something bat-shit crazy
Dumb = If a post makes absolutely no sense

The rest i haven't used... yet.

 

[Joe Swanson]

Personally I use them like this:
Agree/Disagree for agreeing or disagreeing respectfully in general discussions
Like or Disklike for shitposts
Winner for high quality posts serious or not
Info for Info
Thunk for irony
Feels for feels
Islamic Content for Islam related or rarely interchangeable with Horrifying
Lunacy for Lunacy
Autistic and Dumb interchangeably for dumb posts
Horrifying for horrifying
Optimistic for optimistic but unrealistic
TMI for TMI
Late for late
Mad At Internet for people being unreasonably angry

 

[Battlecruiser3000ad]

I press the first button my autistic brain recognizes as an OC hedgehog, so basically random.

 

[GogglyGoblin]

In order:
When I like a post I rate them "like".
When I dislike a post I rate them "dislike".
When I agree with a post I rate them "agree".
When I disagree with a post I rate them "disagree".
When I really like a post I rate them "winner".
When I find a post informative I rate them "informative".
When a post makes me think I rate them "thunk-provoking".
When a post makes me feel feels, I rate it "feels".
When a post contains islamic content I rate it "islamic content".
When a poster is a lunatic or the subject of the post is acting like a lunatic I rate the post "lunacy".
When a post is autistic I rate it "autistic".
When I find a post horrifying I rate it "horrifying".
When I find a post optimistic I rate it "optimistic".
When someone says too much of themselves in a post I rate it "TMI".
When someone posts something that has already been talked to death or has been mentioned a while back I rate it "late".
When a post is dumb I rate it "dumb".
When someone gets mad I rate them "mad at the internet".

They are self explanatory, you autist.

 

[ForgedBlades]

95% of the ratings I give are ironic

 

[The Last Stand]

@The Pink Panther has an excellent guide on ratings. Let me see if I can find it.

 

[Fireman Sam]

This is my general assumption. But ultimately just use whatever you think suits.

Like: When you like the post or just want to kudos the OP, the default 'This is cool!' button
Dislike: When you dislike a post and want to just be a twat about it.
Agree: When you like the post so much you want to show it by a nice green tick!
Disagree: When you disagree with a post enough to put a big X underneath their post
Achievement: I don't know what the fuck this is. I can't use it so it doesn't matter.
Winner: When a post goes above and beyond, can also be used ironically
Semper Fidelis: "THE W.H.O FEARS THE SAMURAI!" - Or anything militaristic or warlike I guess? OORAH!
Deviant: Never used it, probably has sexual connotations so I feel wary of using it.
Informative: When you think a post is a genuinely informative read and you want to make this known.
Thunk-Provoking: The ironic version of Informative.
Feels: Women usually use this one.
Islamic Content: "Inshallah!" - I see this one being used ironically, strangely interchangable with Horrifying. It's probably also used a lot any time a Muslim sporadically blows up and gets on the news.
DRINK!: I'll drink to this post!
Lunacy: I don't see this one used a lot, probably interchangeable with dumb and autistic
Autistic: A classic, used to call someone autistic or just used to react to some autistic person of interest.
Horrifying: Any time someone posts a news article from VICE or shows people the inner workings of the furry community, also just stuff that makes you cringe. Usually followed by demands for you to spoiler whatever you posted.
Optimistic: Dark times ahead? Is the world on fire? Well that one post designed to bolster the morale of those who read it is an optimistic post, also gay stuff because it is a rainbow.
TMI: Never see this posted either, FUCK SAKE NOW I HAVE! probably used when someone reveals their powerlevel or shares something too intimate.
Late: Any time I post any news about anything whatsoever on this forum.
Dumb: Interchangeable with autistic and Lunacy to a lesser degree, when someone says something retarded, if you get this reaction, you'll probably get a good few more before the post sinks into obscurity
Mad at the Internet: Reserved for niggas who just can't keep themselves from bitching about stuff online.

 

[The Fool]

rate me dumb and autistic. I know you all will because you're nothing but my little playthings, you're all so easy to manipulate. you guys think you're so witty and clever, little do you know I'm leading you all on with a carrot on a stick.

Islamic content > horrifying

Islamic content keeps this site halal
