Suggestion for SD&N

[Oliver_W]

So this morning I got a random notification via email from TSR, which I haven't even thought about for years. But if I remember rightly there's a rule in their "serious" sections, which also stands in the "serious" sections of bloody KiwiFarms...

How making "nothing replies", such as gifs, emojis, or dot-quoting without posting any actual words against the rules for that section?

[Marsh.]

There already is a rule.

[Beso]

That's why I gave up giving each post I made my best effort...


Nothing worse than being run down by some pointy nose women turning her nose up at you giff..

Not a good idea imo, not many posts as it is on the forum atm, the last thing we’re needing rn is to decrease that number any further. Also I don’t see the point in banning emojis, like if someone makes a funny joke and I laughed, everybody replies with a :joker: or :laugh: or :laugh2: because it’s quick, easy and generally what people do nowadays. Same with the banning of quoting something with a full stop. If I agree with a point, it’s easier to just quote it, and put a full stop as it’s quick and easy and gets the point across that I agree with someone’s point.

or dot-quoting without posting any actual words

what else are we supposed to do without a like button

Also I’m not sure that Kiwi Farms is what we should be drawing inspiration from in terms of how to make TiBB better, no offence :laugh:

But the rules already there apparantly...there won't be changes.

In the SD section. This isn't a forum-wide thing. I know I've been infracted in the past for posting emojis in SD.

This has made my week...

I've been called all sorts and never reported..apart from once...I feel a release..ahhhhh.

What are you on about now?

I'm not for that, gifs can be funny replies in some instances.

Doesn't bother me in the slightest, it takes me less than a second to scroll past it if I wanted too.

They slice my heart to pieces..


BAN THEM.

Oh? Obviously the mods aren't the Flash so I presumably see some posts before they're acted on, and I can't see the infractions list, but I have seen gifs/emojis/dot replies with nothing else...

Hmm, outside of SD&N I agree, but my point is that if one doesn't have an actual comment to make, don't post ;) you could always say why you agree with them, and/or expand on it with your own experiences or opinions?

See above ;)

Yeah, I agree that site is a dump :joker: but even they have standards for their serious sections ;) the same standards as a student site :hehe:

I have asked for reaction buttons and I think it may be under consideration. Josy seemed to think it was a possibility iirc. X

Not me.
